Untouchables crowned champions

Untouchables, out of Kwakwani, are winners of the inaugural Kings Basketball Club’s 4 x 4 Under-17 basketball tournament which concluded last Saturday at the Retrieve Hard Court.

Led by a top score of eight points by Travis Lewis, the Kwakwani unit won 12-9 against hosts Kings in the final.

Earlier, Untouchables had defeated Victory Valley Royals B and Kings beat Kidrock in their semifinal clashes.

The winning Kwakwani side, as required by the organisers, comprised both male and female players, with one female player being on the court at all times.

This rule was to push the involvement of females in the sport from the youth level.

The Untouchables’ squad comprised Lewis, Cordel Hoyte, Aaron Logan, Dequan Blair, Natalia Clarke, and Petal Leacock.

Kidrock took third place defeating Royals 9-4.

This tournament was sponsored by United States-based Gary Stephens and the Brusches Basketball Foundation. (Joe Chapman)
