Linden Foundation beat Mackenzie High

Aubrey Campbell dunked his way to an impressive 44 points as he quarterbacked Wisburg Secondary to perhaps their first ever win ever when they blew away New Silvercity Secondary by 50 points, winning 80-30 on the second day of the Linden Secondary Schools Under-19 Basketball Championship which continued at the Mackenzie Sports Club hard court.
It was the second day running where an individual score would have been recorded for what may be a scoring record in this dominant win by Wisburg, as Akeem Powers gave adequate support, scoring 19 points and Taquille Saunders 17 for the winning Wisburg side who were leading at half time 42-12. Andie Carr with 12 points was the best player for New Silvercity Secondary, while teammate Wayne Wilson added seven in that loss.
In the other game on Tuesday four time champions Mackenzie High School lost their opening game as they were beaten by Linden Foundation Secondary 24-14 following a 16-6 half time score in favour of the winners.
Mackenzie High had climbed back into contention as they trailed 16-14 at one stage in the second half, but they lost their way and were soundly beaten by a 10 point margin in the end.
The tournament, which is organized this year by the Linden Amateur Basketball Association, will continue this afternoon as Mackenzie High play Wisburg in the first game at 2:30pm and the second at 4:00pm is between Linden Foundation Secondary and Linden Technical Institute.
Tomorrow the tournament will continue when Christianburg/ Wismar Secondary take on Wisburg and that game will be followed by the New Silvercity Secondary versus Mackenzie High match.
