Fielding exactly five players, Starr Computers Eagles soared above Melanie Patriots
Friday night in the Under-23 Division of the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) ‘Kings of the Hard Court’ Competition on Burnham Basketball Court.
Eagles managed their ‘fouls’ with precision since foul trouble would have evicted the basic team from the contest, owed to them being down to four players, to fly away with a 69-54 win against a more formidable East Coast-based Patriots team.
Rolston Richardson dropped 16 points, while Daroll Williams and Kheon Evans scored 14 points apiece; capping the complete team effort, Travis Belgrave and Kwesi Thompson added 13 points and 10 points respectively to ensure a winning start for Eagles.
Shaquille Eversley was the lone player in the double figures for Melanie Patriots, which fielded a full-fledged team. Eversley had 16 points while David Alder added eight points.
In the Open or Division I competition, Plaisance Guardians caged Eagles with a 79-56 victory on the night. National point guard, Nikkoloi Smith was the high-point man with 29 points while the veterans, Mark Richards and Kwame Fox had 18 and 17 points respectively.
For Eagles, Mark Wills scored 15 points with Courtney Taylor putting in 14 points. The event is the first for the newly elected GABA and will be played at three courts. The other two venues are Plaisance Community Centre Court and National Gymnasium.
