Kaieteur sports – Team Guyana, featuring Anish Ramlall, Domitre Ranking, Arren Vanlewin, and Stephen George, has advanced to the next round of the U23 3×3 basketball tournament in Paraguay.
The event marks the conclusion of a High-Performance Training Camp ahead of this year’s Junior Pan American Games.
Under the leadership of Coach Willon Cameron, Guyana will now face Group A winners Paraguay today at 9:00 am (local time).
Drawn in Group A alongside Argentina, Grenada, and the Cayman Islands, Guyana faced a mixed set of results in the group stage.
The Cayman Islands were forced to withdraw due to two injuries sustained during pre-tournament training, resulting in a walkover win for the other teams.
Guyana battled Grenada but came up short in a 16–21 contest, and against tournament favourites Argentina, they were defeated 10–21.
Coach Cameron noted that it was the first time the players were competing together as a unit, but highlighted their steady progress throughout the training camp.
“The tournament was a great opportunity for the players to apply what they’ve learned since the programme began on Monday,” said Coach Cameron.
The camp, hosted in Paraguay’s capital, Asunción, runs until June 13 and is part of a wider initiative to prepare teams for the upcoming Junior Pan Am Games.
Guyana’s participation comes on the heels of a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) and the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, designed to foster greater collaboration and development in sports.
Other countries participating are Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil, Paraguay, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Roca, and the United States Virgin Islands.
