Willon Cameron, the Chairman of the newly-established Schools’ Basketball League, expressed his excitement following a successful opening day on Friday, highlighting the positive atmosphere surrounding the event.
“The first day went really well; first of all, we are grateful to God for the good weather, because it was a beautiful sunny afternoon, ripe for basketball, outdoor basketball, especially. I think the home teams did an excellent job of setting up. I was only able to visit one game, of course, because I am still coaching even though I am the organiser… the environment was nice and we had a lot of teachers and parents out there supporting their students and kids, which I thought was really good,” Cameron stated.
He also praised the new officials for their performance. “Our new officials did an excellent job, so kudos to them. It is only day one, but I count that as something. We were able to start on time for the most part and everything ran very smoothly, which is an awesome start,” he emphasised.
The opening day concluded with the Government Technical Institute (GTI) securing the largest margin of victory, defeating Marian Academy 84-38. Queen’s College also triumphed over St Stanislaus College with a score of 66-42, while President’s College narrowly edged out St Rose’s High 47-41 in the closest match. The league will continue this weekend at various courts throughout Georgetown.
