Kings and Jets Roll Into the KFC League Semifinals in Style

The Saint Lucia KFC National Basketball League wrapped up its regular season with statement wins from the two heavyweights, setting up a semifinal lineup of Courts Jets against Bonne Terre Blazers and Morne Fortune Gladiators against the Soufriere Kings.
Courts Jets closed out their slate with a demolition of FiredUp Fitness, winning 112-49 behind an extraordinary night from Ryan Philogene. The league's marquee guard piled up a monster triple-double of 45 points, 18 rebounds and 11 steals, earning KFC Player of the Game honors and underlining why the Jets will be a threat in the postseason.
The defending champions, meanwhile, looked every bit the team to beat. Soufriere Kings flexed their muscle in a wire-to-wire 92-49 rout of the Bonne Terre Blazers avenging their opening-night loss to the same side with Sidney Didier collecting 21 points, seven rebounds and four steals to take Player of the Game. It capped a strong finish for the Kings, who had also handled East Coast Academy 70-54 in midweek, powered by Clayton William's 20 points and 12 rebounds.
Now the two-time champions, chasing a three-peat, turn their attention to the Gladiators in the semifinals, while the Jets and Blazers meet in the other last-four clash with a place in the final at stake.
