TWO interesting matches will be played today on the penultimate day of the preliminary round in the Linden Amateur Basketball Association-organised LABA/Youth Basketball Guyana/Powerade Linden Regional Under-19 basketball Championship.

The Linden Technical Institute (LTI) side is the only unbeaten team in the tournament thus far and will play their final game against Wisburg Secondary while the winless schools, Harmony Secondary and Christianburg Wismar Secondary, clash at 16.00hrs.

In the latest round of play last Friday, LTI out-played the challenges of New Silvercity Secondary 78-36 after establishing a commanding lead at half time– 43-11.

They were once led by the duo of Daniel Lee and Jamal Gilkes as Lee netted 24 points and Gilkes 16. Support also came from Shamar Chapman and Randy Patioir who both netted 12 points.

In the other scheduled game, Harmony failed to show up against Mackenzie High.

On Saturday, New Silvercity Secondary rebounded to beat  Christianburg-Wismar Secondary 34-14 as Kobe Tappin had a top-score of 21 for the winners while Odinnie Reece played well to score six for the losers.

The other game could not be played due to rain and that final game between Wisburg and Mackenzie High is to be played tomorrow with the semi-finals set for Wednesday at the Mackenzie Sports Club hard court.

Currently, Linden Technical Institute are ahead with eight points, winning all of their four games played while in second position is New Silvercity Secondary who have completed their five games and have eight points from three wins and two losses.

Mackenzie High School is third with seven points from three wins and one loss; fourth is Christianburg-Wismar Secondary with four points from three games played which they lost and at the bottom is Harmony Secondary School with no wins from four games.

After Wednesday’s semi-finals, the final is set for Friday at the tournament venue–the MSC hard court.
