Coach of the winning team, George Hughes spoke briefly on the Good Morning JoJo sports show about his team's mindset and his overall view of the finals.

Captain Bryan 'Hollywood' Matthew contributed with 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Ojays while teammate, Kareem 'Macky' Edwards sank 10 pints and made five steals in a losing effort. Ovals will look to bounce back tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the JSC Sports Complex as Game 2 of the finals shoots off. Courtesy of: antiguaobserver.com
