Kwakwani has talented youths and a good b/ball coach

Jul 12, 2009 Sports

Dear Editor,
I would like to use this medium to congratulate the Kwakwani Secondary School on their success at the Under-17 segment of the National Schools Basketball Championship.
What is noteworthy is that since the inception of this Championship the Kwakwani Secondary School have played in all of the Finals (Open for four years & Under-17 this year).
This accomplishment by any of the other major basketball playing schools in Georgetown or Linden would have been headlined in the media.
The television sports news in Linden did not even acknowledge the winners of the Under-17 segment were also a school in Region 10.
But we in Kwakwani understand that basketball in Region 10 is governed by the Linden Amateur Basketball Association and if it is not a Linden school it is “ON BIG TING”.
So even though for four years we are in the finals and our only exposure is when these championships come around, no one in authority tries to find out how this is possible.
Well, we will also use this medium to congratulate a very dedicated resident of our community, who for the past four years, worked with these students and achieved great success.
This will surprise most readers – the coach of the Kwakwani team is female by the name of Anne Gordon.
The Residents of Kwakwani and all who are interested in seeing Kwakwani progress will continue to support and encourage our youths in whatever ways we can.
We may be located far from the major sports, but the results from these championships should have registered one thing for sure “Kwakwani got talented youths and a very good female basketball coach”
Jocelyn Morian
