Avion Kesney’s game-high 27 points led his side, Team White, to a 52-47 win over Team Red in the opening encounter of the Youth Basket Guyana (YBG) All Star Games yesterday at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue.
Playing in the U-14 category, Kesney scored just over half of his team’s points in a keenly contested match.
He was well supported by Kemal Pickering and Darren Dublin, who had eight points apiece. Additionally, Pickering had two steals and eight rebounds in an invaluable contribution, while Kesney snatched right rebounds and had five steals to help push his side to victory.
