-Pacesetters clip Eagles wings
By Edison Jefford
Melanie Patriots’ forward, Sherlon Legall continued his dominance in the paint that led to his prolific scoring Friday night at the Burnham Basketball Court in the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA)
‘King of the Hard Court’ Competition.
Legall scored 29 points to ensure the East Coast-based Patriots down West Side Jammers 70-65 in the Division I category of the competition. Floyd Arthur supported with 17 points with Ashton Adams and Dennis Corbin adding seven points each.
For the West Demerara-based team, Devon Murray dropped 33 points with Ralph Browne adding 12 points. Throughout the game, none of the Jammers showed in likelihood of stopping Legall, who scored at will in the paint off several offensive rebounds.
In the other Division I contest, Trinity Grid Holdings (TGH) Pacesetters clipped Eagles wings with a 97-39 blowout win. Pacesetters shot the ball at a very high percentage, landing 13 three-point jumpers that lit up the venue.
Forward, Travis Williams scored 19 points while Joslyn Crawford added 13 points in the huge victory for Pacesetters. Keith Tute and Kwesi Roberts supported with 12 points apiece as Horace Hodges added 10 and Stephan Gillis nine points.
Eagles forward, Louis James had 13 points while Japheth Hackett chipped in with 10 points. The opening period gave an early impression of the outcome of the game, with Pacesetters racing to a 22-4 lead in what became a lopsided contest.
Gillis was on fire early with consecutive three-pointers while Hodges was a beast in the paint for most of the opening period. Pacesetters went deep into its bench in the second period sensing the game may very well be a no-contest, and rightly so as Pacesetters went into the halftime leading 43-15.
Williams and Hodges shouldered the offensive burden in the third period with only James for the Eagles looking ominous. The unbeaten Pacesetters, who are also the current National Champs, in an offensive blitz, literally ran Eagles off their home court.
Hodges and the lanky Crawford combined to establish a formidable presence in the paint while the guards, including Tute were difficult to defend on transition. The result was a 28-10 rush in the last quarter that completed the mammoth victory.
