Ighodaro Evbuomwan: 1993
This was a handsome and confident young man that symbolized freedom to the fullest extent.  He was very care-free and did not care what you thought of him.  His blessing was soccer.  He was definitely an entertainer on the pitch.  He was very good at dribbling and was also a regular goal scorer.

Jemine Awani: 1988
A lot of the girls at the time who were on the thick side did not do much when it came to sports, but Jemine was different.  She played basketball and she was very good at it.  From what I have heard, she was very disciplined, polite, and respectful.  On the basketball court, she was not very fast but knew how to position herself in such a way her opponents found it difficult to stop her advances.  She also had some height to her advantage as well.  The most amazing thing about her was that no matter how far she was from the net, when she threw that ball, it found its way through the net.

Osagie Lee Evbuomwan: 1992
He was A Quarters' high prized goalkeeper that frustrated most of the B Quarters attacking strategies in the game of soccer.  He did not talk much.  He liked to have fun and lived the cool high life.  I remember when he was in SSS 3, he would go meet the Uniben girls and tell them that he was a medical student called Lee (rumor has it that it is his middle name).  They did not only believe him, they were also privileged to date him.  I guess he was a hard man, but I must admit, he was fun to be around.

Chuka Mordi: 1989
He was a member of the school soccer team and was their goalkeeper for over a year.  A lot of his critics did not think he was good enough compared to his predecessors, but at the time, he was the best.  He was admired for his boldness for rushing out at balls at very close range to the goal in times of extreme danger.  While in goal, he was always relaxed and did his best at all times.

Gerard Afori-Amakwa: 1992
He held the right full-back with all confidence and brought some intellectualism to the defense.  He played for the school soccer team a couple of times, but he was more appreciated as a "B Quarters"  soccer defender.  He always put his mind and soul into his game, and was usually a first choice pick for the defense.

Solomon  Ohiomokhare: 1988
He started out as Oba Erediauwa House goalie and it was not long when he became the school's number one goalie in the game of soccer.  He was quite disciplined in goal and he took pride in being the number one choice.  He did everything possible to maintain that status by improving on his skills and techniques on a daily basis.  He had a lot of critics, but he was always focused and delivered his expertise each time he was called upon.  He was also the house captain for Oba Erediauwa House in his final year.

Onome Opute: 1998
She was an impressive athlete.  She was the second best in JSS and SSS. She represented her house at senior levels as a junior.  She represented her school at 100m, 200m and 4 by 100m respectively. She also represented her school at the best primary competitions where she once again excelled in 100m and 4 by 100m. Onome was the assistant games prefect.

Jude Okoh: 1992
Comic relief was his talent.  It is not possible to talk about UDSS comics without mentioning him.  He always saw the hilarious side to every serious situation and would characteristically get himself into trouble with a refreshing joke inappropriately timed in the middle of a rather serious classroom session.   We were always grateful for those breaks to let off some steam.
