Black Sharks look ominous, ravages Rose Hall Town

Jan 29, 2013 Sports

 

Sharks are known for their endurance and will power to fight and keep coming and those attributes were displayed by the Fyrish Black Sharks.  After a not so impressive start to the competition with 2 loses from two matches the Fyrish Black Sharks have found their range and showed their resilience to bounce back and devour all in their way to book their place in the final of the Inaugural Banks Classic Inter Club Basketball competition being played in Berbice.
In the second semifinal game which was played at the Fyrish basketball court the Black Sharks took some time to settle in after trailing 21-17 at half time before sorting out their prey and then going on a rampage to conquer their opponents 52-44.
The Sharks triumph was a total team effort as they showed their hunting skill and why they are good at hunting in packs as none of their players had a runaway score.  They attacked relentlessly, swarming their opponents and distributed the ball evenly. Leading hunters for the Black Sharks were Joel Fraser 12, national Crandon Royston Crandon 8 and Linden Joseph 8.
For Rose Hall Town the consistent Eon Wiggins scored a game high 16 with Assym Aslam contributed 12.
The Black Sharks have now booked their place in the final alongside Central New Amsterdam who defeated a Smythfield Rockerfella in a keenly contested first semifinal 50-49.
The date and venue for the finals will be decided shortly.  The top team and runner up will receive attractive prizes, while outstanding individual players will also be recognized with trophies and other incentives.  (Samuel Whyte)
