However, Jets and Kings pounded away on the weakened Amelia’s Ward Ballers to gain their lone win to setup this evening’s mega clash.
National under-19 Captain Akeem ‘The Dream’ Kanhai has only played one game for the Jets and that was in their loss to the Raiders, scoring 19 points, but it was Parish Cadogan and the other ‘unknown’ Jets marksmen who have been impressive.
Cadogan, who holds the national schools high jump under-15 and 17 record, led all scorers in his club’s last game with 20 points following up on the 14 that he scored in their first game.
The Kings on the other hand will be led by point guard Sheldron Noel; a textbook kind of player who can be deadly once he’s having a good night. He demonstrated that last week when he poured in a career best 30 points to help the Kings trample the Ballers 99-33. Noel should have admirable support from Jermain Joseph and centre Quincy Easton.
Already through to the semi-finals are Victory Valley Royals and Retrieve Raiders. Both teams played unbeaten in the preliminary stage of the competition. (Rawle Toney)
