GABA Rainforest Water/Malta Supreme League…
– Kobras’ plan backfires
Play in the 2018 Rainforest Water/Malta Supreme/Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) League continued on Wednesday night at the Burnham Hard Court with the Eagles defeating the Vikings and the UG Trojans walking away with a win over the Kobras.
In the first matchup of the night, Vikings lost to the Eagles in the second division leg of the league 66-57. For the first three periods of the game it was back and forth; however, holding a deficit in all three periods, the Vikings couldn’t make a comeback in the fourth, as they were outscored 23-17.
The in-form Sherland Gillis led with 20 points for the Eagles, and was ably supported by Shamaar Huntley (18).
Only three players on the Vikings team could make double digits, the rest failed to make an impact. Osafa Johnson and Eon Meredith both had 11 points, while Shayne Joseph chipped in with 10.
In the other matchup, an under-23 showdown, UG Trojans defeated the dangerous Kobras before they could strike. The Kobras were clearly out matched, as the Trojans showed up to prove a point following two successive losses. They dominated the Kobras throughout the match, and won the contest 70-56.
Leading the Trojans to victory was Denzel Ross, who scored 15 points; while Jonathan Browne, Darrol Williams and Kadeem Peterkin each had 11 points.
Akil Higgins’s 19 and Justin Algu’s 16 weren’t enough to save the Kobras from defeat.
Now that the group stages have been completed, the teams eagerly await the results of the quarterfinalists.
