-Plaisance beat UG to clinch East Coast
Marian Academy inflicted a sound beating on Government Technical Institute (GTI) yesterday in the Under-20 category on their home court to win the Georgetown Conference of the National Schools’ Basketball Festival (NSBF).

preliminary games of the tournament.
Tequain Vieira scored 12 points while Dominique Vincente had 10 points and nine rebounds to ensure that last year’s runners-up are back in the national playoffs. GTI, once a basketball force in Georgetown, were completely out-played.
It took a total team effort from Marian that distributed the ball well in transition and kept an up-tempo pace throughout the game. Their shooters did not disappoint, even Jason Ray Khalil got in on the action from downtown, adding depth off the bench.
Turnovers, coupled with an inability to convert possessions into points, reeked havoc in the GTI camp. The team scored their first points in the game after 10 minutes had elapsed in the first 20-minute half, which told the story of their offensive ineptitude.
Notwithstanding, centre Lassar Richards continued to demonstrate his potential in the paint with four massive block shots. Richards had six points in the game, which was the highest individual score for the team.
Meanwhile, Colts Division I back-up guard, Nikkoloi Smith enforced his seniority for Plaisance Secondary School that defeated University of Guyana (UG) 54-36 in the East Coast Conference Finals.
Smith dropped 36 points, eight of which were from three-point range, grabbed 14 boards and had seven steals for Plaisance. Quincy Easton was the leading scorer for UG with 14 points. Easton also had 12 rebounds and six steals.
