Trinity Grid Holdings (TGH) Pacesetters improved its win/loss record to perhaps an unassailable 7-0 in the Georgetown sub-association Division I League Sunday night on Burnham Basketball Court while Pepsi Sonics’ win helped them to a 5-1 record for second in the League, having lost to only Pacesetters.
TGH Pacesetters beat Plaisance Guardians 70-64 with Stephon Gillis and Royston Siland scoring 17 points each for Pacesetters and Naylon Loncke adding 13 points. Enoch Mathews had 16 and Ron Campbell 12 points for Guardians, who also had Nicolas Cassius and John Fraser in double figures with 11 and 10 points respectively.
In the second Division I game of the night, the featured contest, Pepsi Sonics beat Knights 71-64 to improve its record. Guard, Jason Squires shot his way to a whopping 34 points and showed the kind of last half leadership worthy of a second ranked team.
Pepsi went up 20-18 in the first quarter, but found themselves trailing 33-37 at halftime after some vintage plays from Kester Gomes and his Knights dominated the second quarter. However, Pepsi soon recovered through some big shots from Squires in the second half to regain the lead. Trevor Smith scored 12 points for Sonics in the game.
For Knights, it was Owan Walton, who once again fetched their offence with 22 points with both Gomes and Randy Aaron scoring 11 points each.
In the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) Division III League, Panthers blew away Nets 62-39 with Jonathan Pooran scoring 16 points, and both Murtland Ward, and Orlando Gibson 15 points each in the lopsided win. Mortimer Robertson had eight points for Nets in that game.
Colts also secured another Division III win Sunday night, beating Guyana Defence Force (GDF) 98-88 in overtime. Clebert Thornhill scored 23 points while Lennox Thornhill added 16 points to give Colts the win. Evans Johnson and Delon LaRose each had 12 points while Daniel Ramlagan had 10 points also for Colts.
Defence Force’s Phillip Earle dropped 40 points, which is the highest individual score in both the Division I and III League, for his team. Mark Rose scored 30 points while Jermaine Newton had 10 points for the Defence Force unit in the contest. (Edison Jefford)
