Amelia’s Ward Jets successfully defended the biennial Brusches Classic Basketball championships after defeating 2013 winners and Georgetown unit Ravens 55-44 Saturday at the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) Hardcourt, Linden.
Although the plot slightly differed in Saturday’s showdown, the end result was the same, in what was a rematch of the 2015 final (Jets won 69-67). (It was Raven’s third consecutive final. They defeated Linden Kings 51-37 to claim the 2013 title).
Akeem Kanhai, Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the clash two years prior, produced another standout performance to ensure the trophy remained in the Mining Town for another two years.
