Georgio Walkes (SG) caught fire from deep with 20 points on four three-pointers and an 80 percent clip from the free-throw line, while Kemsey Sylvestre (C) contributed 10 points on 3-of-6 shooting and a perfect 4-of-4 from the charity stripe. Devon Ferguson) added nine points with three triples and five rebounds.
For the Crusaders, Godfrey Rolle Iii (180-PG-1996, college: SW Baptist) III — the national team veteran — was magnificent in defeat, pouring in 28 points on 9-of-13 shooting and converting all eight of his free throws. Chauncy Cooper, who won the tournament's Defensive Player award when the Crusaders finished third in 2025, added 15 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Adney Bethel (1994) contributed 17 points with three triples and T. Roberts had 15 points — 11 of which came from the free-throw line (11-of-14). But the Crusaders were outrebounded 53-40, giving up 21 offensive boards that allowed the Rockets to overcome their 40.5 percent shooting with sheer persistence on the offensive glass.
The Division I title adds to the Rockets' domestic trophy cabinet alongside their back-to-back NPBA championships won in 2024 and 2025. The New Providence powerhouse now hold both the premier club-level title and the national inter-island crown.
