In game two of the under-23 and First Divisions finals played at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) on Wednesday evening, Colts and Guardians both won to claim the titles of the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) Knockout Tournament.
Colts! The First Division Knockout champs
The three-game series saw Colts follow up their 68-59 win against Nets in the first division on Monday with a comfortable 86-62 win on Wednesday night.
Skipper Shelroy Thomas led from the front with 20 points while Stanton Rose (15 points) and Sheldon Thomas’ contributions were vital for Colts’ blowout against a tired looking Nets team. Hodayah Stewart led the opposition with 15 points but it was not near enough.
Meanwhile, the under-23 division finals’ second game saw Guardians sink Pacesetters 65-51. In game one, Guardians won in similar fashion, 73-59.
Guardians’ Terrence Daniels finished the tournament with another strong performance while their skipper and center (C) Akeem Crandon was equally important with an impactful performance during the win.
The Guardians under-23 team composes their second division squad that defeated Colts on Tuesday night, hence the group of players competing three consecutive nights and yet appeared too much for Pacesetters.
