Chargers, Cardinals hunt maiden Hi-Lyte win

MONTEGO BAY, St James — One of two winless teams in the Hi-Lyte/INSPORT Western Basketball Men’s Championships, Cornwall Courts Chargers and Muschett Cardinals, will break their drought when they meet at Montego Bay Cricket Club this evening at 6:30.

The Chargers have lost all seven games played, while the Cardinals have lost all four, but one must win, even though both will struggle to make the quarterfinals next month.

On Sunday, Trelawny Tornadoes and Rockybar Ballers scored wins over Coral Gardens Raptors and Chargers, respectively, to close in on quarterfinal berths.

Ballers won, 70-52, to improve to 14 points, one behind leaders Montego Bay CC Knights, while Tornadoes won, 70-55, to move to third on 13, both with two games to go.

Christopher Gibbons scored 24 points to lead Ballers to their sixth win as they led all the way to their 18-points win. Ballers led 13-9 after the first quarter, 35-19 at half-time and 53-38 at the end of the third quarter.

Roneal Isaacs scored 19 points and had 13 rebounds; Diego Travers scored 15, while Dwayne Hart scored 10 points and 17 rebounds.

Claude Johnson scored 12 points for Chargers, while Wayne Morris scored nine points and seven rebounds.
