VALLEY, Virgin Gorda, VI- A new champion of the Virgin Gorda Summer Jam League will be crowned this year, as defending champions Set It Off bowed out of the tournament on Saturday, November 2, 2024.

After losing their first playoff game in the Best of Three Series to Ice Connection, 77-86, on October 26, 2024, the 2-time champions Set It Off fell agonisingly short, 98-100, in the second playoff game at Jeffrey Caines Arena on Saturday last.

Khalid ‘Superstar’ Gerard?

Khalid S. Gerard was not to be denied as he registered a game-high 26 points and backed those stats up with 11 rebounds and 7 assists for Ice Connection.

Leonardo Castillo Jr knocked down 21 points while Zion Jones scored 20 points. Kimron A. Telemaque netted 15 and Kadeem Jones 12.

Leading the Set It Off challenge were Shamarr A. George aka ‘Shumba’ (22 points) and Ray D. Victor (19) points.

Contributions, in a valiant but vain effort, also came from Travis A. Issac (18 points), Jelani Lennard (17 points and 15 rebounds) and Dione M. Blyden (12 points and 10 rebounds).

Ice Connection had defeated Set It Off in the opening game of the 2024 Summer Jam League and continued to be a bridge too far for Set It Off.

The beat goes on

Playoff action in all three divisions continues this evening, Friday, November 8, 2024.

With Ice Connection advancing to the championship game, Sr Skillful Ballers and Magics are now vying for the final spot.
