Bayside Blazers demolish West Gunners 92-59 for 3rd straight win
The Blazers won against a disappointing West Gunners team, who were down and out well before the final buzzer was marred by an injury to Aldric C. Thomas, whose knee seemed to give way as he landed heavily on his knee. Several minutes passed until the player was aided off the court and then taken to Hospital for further checks.
Sandy E. Nadal top scored with 25 points, adding 7 steals, whilst Louie A. Poblete scored 17 points, Jolyon J. D. Wilson 12 with 5 rebounds and Asim Z. C. Beazer 11 with 6 assists and 7 steals.
West Gunners were led by Kemaul Jackson’s 12 points and 9 rebounds along with 11 points from Alexander Jarvis.
The crowd had built to almost over capacity during the previous game featuring the Avengers and the Game Boyz and it was certainly the game of the day.
The Avengers raced into an early 10 point lead, but were under intense pressure for large periods as they saw that lead erased and deep into the 4th quarter were down by 3 points before staging a late smash and grab to claim the points, 68-57.
Kevin Issac top scored with 13 points and 7 rebounds, Travis Issac scored 11 points and Radley Stephen also 11.
For the Boyz, Mical Benjamin scored 12 points.
Da 3rd and Run It Red were also involved in a thriller with Ray D. Victor powering his side to an 83-77 victory.
Down by 11 at the end of the 1st period and still down by 6 at the half, Victor resurrected his team’s fortunes in the remaining two quarters, but it still took until inside the final 90 seconds to know the game and the points were safe.
Victor finished with 24 points and 8 rebounds, Dione Blyden scored 22 with 5 rebounds and Dominic Ward 18 and 7 rebounds.
Run It Red were led by 32 points from Tavon Phillip, who also added 11 rebounds and 19 points from Nigel Carey.
On Friday the Senior Young Starz beat Real Tool, 85-76, with Jahmari Rivera scoring 24 points. Akito Amaro added 19 points and 5 steals, Kasean Wylie 14 points and Devonte Furlong 12 points and 9 rebounds.
Draft signee, Cedric King, led Real Tool with 25 points and 8 rebounds, Dillion Etienne added 12 points, Nathan Rodney 10 points with 12 rebounds and Devon Blaize 10 points.
Pilipino recorded their second straight win with marquee player, Eustace ‘Boss’ Freeman leading from the front with 18 points, 15 rebounds and 8 blocks in a 64-62 victory over And One.
Juanito Diaz scored 22 points.
And One got 20 points, 7 rebounds and 7 steals from Akeem Nibbs, 11 points from Gianna Maduro and Jachoy Walwyn as well as 10 from Danta Vanterpool.
