VV Royals Schools’ Basketball Championship…MHS, LFS prevail in latest battles

Apr 18, 2012 Sports

 

Mackenzie High School (MHS) reeled in their second win of the tournament as they whipped Wisburg Secondary 43–23 while Linden Foundation Secondary (LFS) got the better of New Silvercity Secondary 55–38 when the Eighth Victory Valley (VV) Royals Schools’ Basketball Championship continued on Monday in Linden.
Parish Cadogan, who poured in a game high 24 points, helped MHS regrouped from an early jitter that saw them trailing by as much as ten points in the first six minutes of the contest, but they bounced back and showed why they are the defending champions.
The first half ended 19–13 and, in the second stanza, Cadogan single-handedly took apart the Wisburg defence and put on an excellent display of the game for their supporters that included back-to-back three-pointers and a sensational tamer-hawk dunk.
Wesley Williams with eight and Kenneth Semple (four) top scored for their school, which is yet to register a win in three outings so far.
Meanwhile, New Silvercity Secondary proved to be no match for Linden Foundation Secondary (LFS) as the former champions bounced back to register their second win in three outings at the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court.
It was a team effort that saw them coasting to a comfortable 17-point victory (55–38) with Vibert Benjamin leading the way with 17 points along with Paul Kellman 16 points. Dennis Niles and Isaiah Kellman each netted 14 points.
Selwyn Noble scored a game high 22 points for the losers who have also slumped to their third lost and are yet to secure a win with two more games remaining.
