The Bounty Colts continued to romp up the seed table by defeating the Scorpions by ten points at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall Friday night when the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) league tournament continued.
The Colts came from behind in the first quarter to eventually rally to the 68-58 win that solidified their fourth place seeding in the tournament. The team had a good all round performance from their `big men’.
Kelvin Simon scored 19 points with assistance from fellow centres, Gavin Beeram, 18 points and Dane Kendall, 13 points. Former Pacesetter, shooting guard Triston Lake continues to enjoy a productive season with the Colts with 10 points.
Scorpions centre, Carl Jackman scored 22 points for the team while Kester Gomes finished with 10 points.
The Scorpions are currently seeded fifth on the GABA tournament standing.
In the other game that was scheduled for the night, the Pepsi Sonics gained a walk-over win from the Eagles.
The Sonics are currently seeded sixth while the Eagles are unseeded after losing all their games thus far.
A pre-tournament release from GABA indicated that the re-introduction of the GABA league was for the sole purpose of seeding teams in Georgetown for the upcoming 2007-basketball season.
Courts Pacesetters currently enjoys the number one spot with a 6-0 record that gives the team 18 points with two more games to be played.
The team will play the three seeded Nets and unseeded Legends next weekend.
Pacesetters coach, Robert ‘Bobby’ Cadogan told Stabroek Sport yesterday that being number one is not strange for the team that once held the position for ten years in the 80s.
“We were in this position many times before, this is not new for the team, maybe some players but not Pacesetters,” Cadogan said as he gears up to end the league next week with a perfect 8-0 record.
