Defence Force Wins 4th Super Ten Title - Jan. 23, 2007
- by Don Farrell
Defence Force created history when they became the first team to
win the Stag Super Ten Basketball Championship four times in 11 years.
The army/coastguard combination team swept Unit Trust Maloney Pacers
3-0, winning game-three of the Best-in-Five series final 87-72 at the
Jean Pierre Complex, Mucurapo, on Monday night.
Defence Force were winners of the event in 1992, 96 and 97.
Pacers from the jump were unprepared for the level of intensity which
the Defence Force team brought.
The first quarter scores read 31-13 in favour of the soldier/sailor
combination team and it never looked back.
With their supporting cast headed by Edmund Dillon, the Chief of Defence
Force Staff, Pacers were no match for the ‘Teteron boys' as they
dominated all departments of the contest to lead 52-33 at half-time.
With over 400 in attendance the army/coastguard unit closed the third
quarter 22 (73-51) points ahead tasting victory.
The Maloney-based team tried to make a comeback in the final session
through forward Kenyatta Alfred.
He scored three three-pointers in his 11 points to help Pacers outscore
their opponents, 21-15 but the huge deficit that plagued them throughout
the match was too difficult to overcome before time expired.
For the third consecutive match forward Steven ‘Lighter' Lewis led the
scoring when he followed up his 39 points on Saturday in game two with
35, to help guide his team to the $25,000 first prize.
For Pacers, David Farmer was again their top scorer with 15 points. The
Maloney-based team took home $10,000.
Raptors tame Lions to secure 3rd place
Forward Kirk Baptiste scored a career-high 32 points which guided
Marabella Raptors to 2-0 series win in their Best-in-Three series
play-off for third and fourth places when they defeated Royal Extra
Lions 100-98. Raptors also won game-one 82-77.
Raptors third place finish earned them $4,000 and $2,000 went to
fourth-place team, Lions.
