Warriors edge Knights in Western Basketball

MONTEGO BAY, St James — Montego Bay Boys’ Club Warriors scored a three-point (58-55) win over Montego Bay Boys’ Club Knights in their Western Basketball Association’s Division One game on Saturday to give them a shot at qualifying for the semi-finals.

The win boosted Warrior’s points tally to six with one game to go, tied with Granville Jaguars, who they will play this weekend.

Despite the loss, Knights (eight points) joined title favourites Lucea Flames (10 points), as the early semi-finalists with three teams still in contention for the other two places.

Sheldon Lyle’s game-high 28 points led Warriors, who were outscored 38-31 over the last two quarters.

Warriors got off to the better start and led 13-5 after the first quarter and 27-17 at half time before Knights started their comeback.

Knights outscored Warriors 24-20 in the third quarter to cut the deficit to six points (47-41) and further cut into it in the fourth quarter, but could not overhaul the Warriors team.

Fabian Gifford also scored 10 points for Warriors, while Fitzroy Gordon led Knights with 18 points and Christopher Smith scored 16 points.

On Sunday, MoBay Lions got a win after March Town Spartans failed to show for their game.
