ON Sunday evening, basketball fans at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall were treated to the Anthony Moe show, as the 6’10” forward was instrumental in helping Dyna’s Ravens to a 15-point (73-58) win.

Bounty Colts, the defending champions, will be gunning for a title ‘three-peat’ in the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) National Club Championship, but standing in their way are the Dyna’s Ravens.

Ravens and Colts will collide in the final of the GABF’s showpiece, set for Saturday, April 28, after the two sides earned commanding wins in their respective semi-finals on Sunday evening.
In the opening game of the double-header, Ravens flew by Kobras 73-58, all behind a game-high 25 points by Moe.

Colts book their third consecutive trip to the final with an 84-70 win against Linden’s Victory Valley Royals; the same team they defeated to clinch a second title in the final last year.

“I’m just here to show everyone what I have and to represent Guyana,” the 28-year-old Moe told Chronicle Sport, after his monstrous 25-point game for the Ravens on Sunday, to go along with his nine rebounds, two steals and three blocked shots.

Moe stated that he only learnt to play basketball after migrating to the USA in 2007, but after his collegiate career with Millersville University, he has developed into a player he believes could help Guyana’s basketball.

Kobras coach Naylon Loncke threw everything to the Ravens ‘big man’, whose presence and moves, especially his athleticism, on the court wowed the spectators.
Veteran point guard Darcel Harris rolled back the years and displayed what made him famous in local basketball. Harris finished with 16 hard-earned points in a true team performance for the Ravens that blended with some individual brilliance.

Kobras star point guard Travis Burnett had 24 points but none of his teammates touched double-digits.
The night’s second game was interesting; at least up to the third quarter, where the Colts showed their Championship worth.

After keeping it close for three quarters, Victory Valley Royals folded in the final stanza when Colts outscored them 22-12.

Shane Webster’s big night saw him flirt with a triple-double, drop 24 points and grab 15 rebounds to go along with his eight blocks and five steals. Webster’s teammate Timothy Thompson also had a good game, picking up a double-double (12 points, 13 rebounds), while Shelroy Thomas scored 17 points.

Orlan Glasgow (20) and Harold Adams, last year’s top scorer with 15 points, were the key players for the Royals.
