Daniels helps Guardians defend territory against Sonics

– Trojans remain winless
It all went down as the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association’s (GABA’s) leagues continued on Tuesday at the Burnham Hard Court in the city. The night saw the Ravens battling it out with the UG Trojans in the first division, and the Sonics going up against the Guardians in the U-23 division.

Starting off the night in the U-23 division, the Sonics faced the uphill task of battling the Guardians; it was never going to be easy for the Sonics. In the first quarter of the match, it was back and forth for both teams, but the Guardians managed to slip past the Sonics 26-18 in the first period, leaving the Sonics searching for victory in the next two periods. However, it did not go the way of the Sonics, as they lost 17-28 and 14-34 in the second and third quarters respectively.
Scoring for the Guardians was Terrence Daniels with 27 points. He was ably supported by Israel Yaw (16) and Akeem Crandon (15); while, for the Sonics, Lemuel Grant top scored with 21 and captain Troy Glasgow pitched in with 11 points.
In the first division match, Trojans went down against the Ravens as they faced yet another winless match in their season’s encounter, losing 65-49. The match started off like any other match, with the Ravens taking the lead in the first period 13-11, then out-scoring the opposition in each quarter until the showdown was over. Captain Dominic Vincente led the Ravens with 14 points, while Tyrone Hamid put up the same number.
The Trojans showed lack of form and commitment, having numerous opportunities to convert, but being unable to so do. The highest score of the night came from Captain Selvaughn Mosely, who had 13.
The action continues on Saturday with the Sonics playing the Eagles in the U-23 division at 18:30h, and the Colts clashing with the Sonics in the first division at 20:30h.
