– tournament being used to select IGG teams
The ninth National Schools’ Basketball Festival (NSBF) tipped-off Sunday night, following what can be called another Youth Basketball Guyana (YBG) trademark Opening Ceremony at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
The Ceremony featured the march-past of teams and an address from Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony validating the success of the NSBF, stating that it is the forum for the selection of Inter-Guiana Games (IGG) basketball teams.
The NSBF, as it is known, is the culmination of six weeks of Regional Conference Tournaments- organised in six separate zones, after which the best Under-14, Under-16 and Under-19 teams are invited to the highly anticipated eight-day national competition.
In the Under-19 competition after the Opening Ceremony, President’s College (PC), New Amsterdam Technical Institute (NATI) and Plaisance Academy made winning starts.
President’s College beat St. Roses High School 47-44 with Shaquille Adonis scoring 21 points and grabbing six rebounds; Eli Innis supported with 10 points and seven rebounds. For St. Roses, Nathan Saul had a mammoth effort with 25 points and four rebounds.
New Amsterdam TI won against Linden’s McKenzie High School 32-18 as Dunash Roopnarine put in 11 points and Edmar Simple nine points for New Amsterdam. Daniel Anthony scored 12 points and grabbed four rebounds for McKenzie High School.
Plaisance Academy had a 47-33 points win against JC Chandisingh with Mallol Powder scoring 15 points and Kelvin Yorrick 14 points and nine rebounds for Plaisance. Michael King scored 13 points while Kobe Crawford had 10 points for JC Chandisingh.
The NSBF is a collaborative effort between YBG and the National Sports Commission; the event is sponsored now for the sixth consecutive year by Digicel, Edward B. Beharry and Company LTD, and Banks DIH LTD.
