Ravens emphatically begin campaign
GABA Division I and III Leagues
Undoubtedly one of the top teams in Georgetown and Guyana, Ravens started their campaign for an official number one Division I seeding in the City when they comfortably dismissed Plaisance Guardians and whatever challenge they offered Saturday night.
CAN’T STOP THIS! Ravens guard, Ryan Stephney seems to have that in mind as he sinks one of his many three-point daggers in the face of a Plaisance Guardians defender Saturday night on Burnham Basketball Court.
Ravens thrashed Guardians 72-51 when Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association’s (GABA) League continued on the Burnham Basketball Court with guard Ryan Stephney adding additional lights to the venue from downtown on both ends of the court.
Stephney finished with a game high 23 points and confirmation of a smooth shooting stroke in an otherwise lopsided win for Ravens. Guard/forward Akeem Kanhai had 14 points including a one-handed break away dunk that confirmed a dominant offensive run.
Nicholas Cassius scored 11 points for Guardians that was strengthened with the acquired forward Rudy James from Ravens. It was sort of a home-going for James, who fundamentally was taught the game in Plaisance. His presence, however, did not save the team.
In the other Division I game of the GABA triple-header, Republic Bank Nets also inflicted what can be called a first class thrashing on Melanie Patriots. The emerging Nets that reached the final of both of its last outings beat Patriots 74-54 in the feature game.
Forward, Darian Lewis scored 22 points while Hodayah Stewart and Mortimer Williams pitched in with 16 points apiece for the much improved Nets. N. Bacchus had 17 points for Patriots with Kurtleigh English adding 15 points in the team’s second loss of the League.
Earlier in the night, Nets’ Division III team failed to set the tone for the Division I clash when an enthused Buxton Heat handed them a 54-76 defeat. Kwesi Newton and Deon Robert finished the game with 15 points each for Buxton while Okemi Sampson scored 10 points. Peter Melville was the lead scorer for Nets with 15 points.
