Smythfield Rockers basketball Club of New Amsterdam continued their winning ways in the ongoing Mackeson Top Six first division Basketball competition organised by the Berbice Basketball Association (BBA) and sponsored by beverage giants Ansa McAl Guyana Limited being played at the Vryman’s Erven Basketball Court in New Amsterdam.
The Smythfield Rockers made light work of Rose Hall Town Jammers by whipping them 61-41 in the latest game played last Sunday.
Rockers started slowly and were in the ascendancy by only one point 13-12 at the end of the first quarter. They picked up pace in the second quarter and led 24-18 at half time. However, things changed after the half time period with the Rockers seizing control for their easy win by 20 points.
Michael Bowel poured in a game high 20 points with Andre Shako 14 and Jamal Felix 13 supporting well.
The Rockers are now on nine points from three games and are assured of a place in the semifinals. Jammers remain winless after two matches.
The competition has at stake $80,000 for the winner and $20,000 for the second placed team among other incentives. (Samuel Whyte)
