Cindy Johnson was a highlight at the Caricom B/ball C/ship

May 12, 2009 News

Overseas-based Cindy Johnson AKA ‘CJ’ took the 2000 Caricom Basketball Championship in Barbados by storm although Guyana females finished last.
Johnson’s performance was phenomenal. The unstoppable guard scored a game high 19 points in a losing cause against the USVI against Barbados. She again top scored with 13 points but the results was the same.
In the only game the Land of Many Waters won, she shocked Trinidad & Tobago with sparkling game high 30 points and in another losing cause against Bahamas, Johnson became the Guyanese with highest score at a Caricom Championship, breaking Stanislaus Hadmon record of 34 points scored against Barbados in Georgetown 1981.

Her 35 points is probably the highest scored by a female at a Caricom Basketball Championship. When Guyana lost again to Jamaica, the scoring machine top scored again with 21 points.
In the game against USVI to determine who would finish the tournament in the last position, CJ’s 29 points failed to inspire her teammates, she ended the championship with 147 points from six games with an average of 24.5 which also bettered Hadmon 1981 24.2.
