Brusche’s Basketball Foundation Classic # 7 to be played for U-18 title this year Concentration on future says ‘Fatman’ Brusche
The Brusche’s Basketball Foundation biennial tournament will this year promote the youths by staging its Classic basketball championship for Under-18 players through the club levels from teams chosen around Guyana.

This move is aimed at not only berthing new talent for the sport but will especially seek to have the involvement of a new breed of players according to organizer Cloyde ‘Fatman’ Brusche of the basketball foundation which principally is played in honour of the three brothers Mike, Clifton and James who now reside in the United States of America but find the time to help promote the sport they still love back in Guyana.
Over the past six editions, the competition involved the division one players, but ‘Fatman’ Brusche said the sport has suffered for a lack of competition especially in Linden and this will help bring awareness among the youths of the game.
He said the knockout tournament will commence on Saturday October 26 and end on Saturday November 2 at the Mecca for the sport in Linden, the Mackenzie Sports Club hard court.
Clubs have been selected for the first time from all over Guyana including Linden, Georgetown, Berbice, Kwakwani, Bartica and the East Coast clubs will pocket cash and prizes totaling $600,000.
The clubs are Plaisance Guardians, Pepsi Sonics, Rose Hall Jammers, Bartica Wranglers, Junior Kings, Kawakwani Ballers, Pacesetters, and Victory Valley Royals.
