MyIsland Ballers U-19s win Memorial Day Classic
More than 400 teams and more than 4,000 athletes participated in this 3 day event.
The Under 16 team, including the likes of Rakeel Jack, Dante Scatliffe, Kiandre Clarke, Renrick Massac Junior, Malachy S. Payne, K’Moi Walters, Sajwan France, Michael Richardson, and Ajai Frett, found little success on the court, but according to the coaching and management staff, including Derwyn Scatliffe, the players learnt a lot from the overall experience and came away with some positives to build upon.
Flawless record for U-19s
The Under 19 team then went better than the previous trip to the US as this time they struck Gold with a perfect 5 nil record.
Game one was a 59-48 win over First Coast Elite, then came an 83-66 blowout of Atlanta Aztecs Harris.
Game three was their closest contest, narrowly won in overtime 79-78 against k- elite.
That was followed by a rout of Lake Worth pride 64-32 in the final and the championship was secured with a thrashing of k- elite 85-69.
The team included D’moi M. Hodge, Tahj Malone, Romain Minott, Demoi Dagou, Gianni Maduro, Trent Herbert, Jomoi Dagou, and Jasin Rhymer.
The AAU Classic win for MyIsland Ballers, according to the Coaching Staff, came about due to having a balanced attack, a sense of urgency and determination that created electric passages of play.
