Colts, Jet’s to battle for Brusches crown

In a finals fit for basketball junkies, Georgetown’s Ravens will lock horns with Amelia’s Ward Jets for bragging rights and spoils in the sixth biennial Brusches Classic Basketball Foundation held at the Mackenzie Sports Club’s Hard court.
Persistent showers throughout last week forced the mouth-watering finals to Saturday November 11 where Ravens who won in 2013 seek to reclaim a title they once held so dearly against the Jet’s. According to coach Darcel Harris, the Ravens were without captain Ryan Stephney before but now with him back at the helm in company of Travis Burnett who is in ripping form and Jermain Slater, Georgetown seem to be in a strong position to regain their crown.
However, their opponents are confident that Stephney’s presence this time around does not scare them as they have shown that with Akeem Kanhai, who has found success from both ends for the floor, whilst guiding their offense and defense, will make them be hard to beat.
Coach Kevin Joseph is unnerved about what Stephney brings to the Ravens camp as he feels that his side can stave off the Georgetown side regardless. He noted that his best shooter Orin Rose, who has not been in top form as of late, can be a factor as he was two years ago and when in tandem with Kanhai dismantled the Ravens in the past.
In addition to this duo the home side has some talent in Adrian Webster and Donnel Benjamin and his brother Joel playing inside while at the back court are Nathan Saul and Shannon Cadogan. This game will be the night cap as the preceding match is one that neither Georgetown Colts nor rivals Victory Valley Royals, would want to lose.
With so much at stake and their pride of course the national champions Colts should be hoping for a good showing against arguably the top Linden side in Royals this season. That game is having $100,000 stake with the loser while the final has $300,000 for the winner and the championship trophy while the runner-up carts off $200,000.
Jump ball is 19:00h for the third place playoff game between Colts and Royals while the big clash between Ravens and Jet’s will bounce off from at 21.00h.
