Banks DIH/GABA League… Sonics still winless; Daniels’ form continues
Terrence Daniels – Plaisance Guardians
Jared Sears – Plaisance GuardiansJared Sears – Plaisance Guardians
Halfway through the Rainforest Water/Malta Supreme/Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) First, Second and Under-23 Division Leagues, the Pepsi Sonics Basketball Club (PSBC) that is competing in each division is yet to record a win.
Still in a rebuilding phase, PSBC has come close to pulling off wins and their winless woes continued on Thursday night last at the Burnham Hard Court.
Republic Bank Nets 50-42 Pepsi Sonics (First Division)
The feature game under lights was a low scoring clash which Nets won by eight points, 50-42 with Sonics skipper Jason Squires top scoring with 15 points while Frank Belle and Pelham Doris led Nets with 14 points each. They were the only three players in the match that reached double digits.
Both teams will definitely need to up their game if they have any hopes of clinching the title in this competition that will conclude in just over one month’s time.
Plaisance Guardians 81-54 Pepsi Sonics (Second Division)
Before Sonics lost to Nets in the first division, Captain Terrence Daniels (22) bounced Guardians to an emphatic 27-point win over the struggling club in the opening second division clash of the double header.
Daniels, who has been the most consistent player in the second and U-23 divisions, continued his purple patch with support from Jared Sears who was close behind with a 21-point performance. Sears and Daniels completely dominated Sonics with the only other significant contribution coming from Delroy Critchlow who hopped 9 points.
Top scoring for Sonics was Warren Vanderstoop with 15 points while his skipper Lemuel Grant netted 11 and Troy Cadogan, 10. Action continues tonight at the same venue with a double header beginning at 18:30hrs.
Rivals Pacesetters and Eagles will contest both games which will be second and first division clashes, the first division being the feature from 20:30hrs.
