The Stabroek Eagles will attempt to capture the “One Guyana” Basketball League title this Saturday, having established themselves as the only unbeaten team, despite numerous hurdles.
In a comment invited by Guyana Times Sport, Coach of Stabroek Eagles, Adrian Hooper, explained that his team is confident about adding this trophy to their case.
“We are one hundred percent confident. And I mean this team Colts was one to beat; they have been behind us many years, and they just kept edging us. But tonight we were able to get over the hump and get the victory, and we are happy and are heading to the finals,” Hooper said.
He related that team spirit was key to this team being undefeated so far in the tournament by saying, “Well, I mean the team spirit is there. I mean our camaraderie was there, and we held it together as a team. Going undefeated so far in the tournament is tremendous, and we could only stay here and get better and better.”
