MONTEGO BAY, St James — Defending ISSA/KFC Western Conference Under-16 champions Herbert Morrison and Holland High have set up meetings with the undefeated Muschett High in the best-of-three finals after wins in Thursday’s semi-finals.

Herbert Morrison beat Spot Valley High 55-44 in their Under-16 game, while Holland qualified for their first Under-19 final after upsetting William Knibb Memorial 76-70, both games played at the Montego Bay Cricket Club.

The best-of-three finals are set for Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the finalists have also automatically qualified for the all-island play-offs.

In the third-place play-offs set for Tuesday, Spot Valley High and St James will meet in the Under-16 game at 3:00 pm, followed by outgoing Under-19 champions Cornwall College against William Knibb, at 5:00 pm.

On Thursday, Herbert Morrison outscored Spot Valley 40-28 in the second half to record a come-from-behind win after trailing for the first two quarters.

Spot Valley, who were led by a game-high 16 points and 10 rebounds from Jhamonique Brown, led 9-6 and 16-15 after the first two quarters.

Herbert Morrison hit back in the third quarter to take over the lead 35-27 before moving away in the fourth quarter.

Gregory Wallace led Herbert Morrison with 15 points and 13 rebounds, as well as two blocked shots; Alwayne Beadle scored 13 points and 14 rebounds, while Ralique Grant scored 13 points.

In the Under-19 game, Holland High proved their win over Cornwall College in a rescheduled regular season game was no fluke when they got the better of a William Knibb team that had beaten them by 10 points in the regular season, despite yet another 30-point effort from Shavaughn Reid.

Led by Kenrick Lindo’s 22 points, Holland led 16-13, 39-35 after the first two quarters, and were tied 53-53 going into the fourth quarter before Holland pulled ahead.

Alpha Wright scored 16 points and had 15 rebounds for William Knibb, while Stephan Greaves scored 12 points.
