‘One Guyana’ Basketball Premier League: G/T Masters, Jets, Eagles secure wins in weekend action

The ‘One Guyana’ Basketball Premiere League continued on Sunday, March 23rd, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) on Home Stretch Avenue in Georgetown with wins recorded by the Georgetown Masters, Jets and Eagles.
Retrieve Raiders battled the Georgetown Masters in a one-sided affair. Masters held a 7-point lead at the end of the first quarter, and never looked back (14-7). The Raiders fought back in the second quarter, but a huge fourth quarter from the Masters completely demolished the spirit of the Raiders team. The game ended with scores of 67–39. B Oneil and D McCaulley, with 12 points each, were top contributors for the Masters team.

The Jets and Black Caimans faced off in the second game. Each team put up a fight in the first half of the match, and the scores remained reasonably close (41-33) at the end thereof. However, the second half of the match saw the Jets taking control of the game, with the scores reading 55-70 in their favour despite the 19 points that S. Adams produced for the Caimans.
Lastly, the Eagles soared to a 17-point victory over the Nets. A fairly consistent game from the Eagles saw them score at least 18 points each quarter, building a significant lead over the Nets throughout the game.
Zian Gray with 17 points and Denzil Ross with 15 points were the main contributors to team Eagles’ success. Dennis Niles was impressive with a 22-point outing, but it wasn’t enough to earn the Nets the desired outcome.
Basketball action will resume next weekend.
