Trophy Stall-sponsored LABA League…Kings maintain winning streak, Jets win

Feb 16, 2012 Sports

 

 

Kashif and Shanghai Kings maintained their unbeaten run with another convincing win in the Trophy Stall-sponsored Linden Amateur Basketball Association (LABA) League with a thumping 86–44 over Half Mile Bulls at the MSC Court.
On the same card the Retrieve Raiders fell 50-69 to the Amelia’s Ward Jets to lose their third consecutive game in the tournament.
Meanwhile, when the tournament continued on Sunday, the Amelia’s Ward Jets chalked up their third consecutive win following a 43–38 victory over the Wismar Pistons. It was the Pistons’ second lost in as many games.
Also, Half Mile Bulls chalked up their second win in the tournament while also handing Block 22 Flames another loss, winning 68–49. With the tournament pass the halfway stage, the level of the competiveness of the teams have intensified.
Led again by their leading players, Omally Sampson, Marvin Hartman, Steve Neils Jr., Jason Alonso and Abdullah Hamid, the Kashif and Shanghai Kings, began to display the quality that earned them a reputation as one of Guyana’s leading clubs.
The youthful Bulls team, who came into the game booming with confidence after defeating the Raiders in their previous game, was out-played from the beginning of the game and it was clear that experience was not on their side.
Bulls trailed 13–22 at the end of the first period and went into the second half down by 16 points (24 –40). Alonso had 17 points, but was fouled out early in the fourth quarter. He was again the dominant player in the paint as he helped the Kings enjoy a more than comfortable 69–39 points’ lead heading into the final period.
Bulls could have only managed five fourth quarter points as the Kings unit turned up the pressure on defence. However, Michael Turner did manage to score a game high 18 points for the Bulls and was the only player in double figures from his side.
Sampson 16, Neils 14, Shawn Muss 13 and Marvin Hartman nine points were the top scorers for the Kings, who played the Victory Valley Royals last night.
