National skipper Steve Neils (Jr.) is among three national players named in a 15 man squad yesterday that will be scaled down to 12 for Saturday’s clash against their Georgetown counterparts as the Linden and Georgetown associations face each other in a double header feature to start the season in the City.
Yesterday those names released include a mixture of players who would have played for the junior or senior national teams.
The national players are captain Steve Neils (Jr.), Shane Webster and Neil Marks, along with past junior nationals Marvin Hartman, Orin Rose, Chris Williams and Marlon Pollydore, Allister Webster, Quincy Jones, Marl Louis, Harold Adams, Keon Cameron and Orlando Glasgow.
The LABA is expected to release the names of its Under-19 side also and will announce its coaches and technical staff for this Saturday’s encounters.
The clashes mark the first meeting of teams on the basketball court since both associations recently held their elections, where two new presidents were elected with Michael Singh becoming the new GABA president and Haslyn Graham the president of LABA.
