Six-team play-off for ISSA Girls basketball title

MONTEGO BAY, St James — Newly crowned Western Conference champions Spot Valley High and dethroned champions William Knibb Memorial will lead the charge in tomorrow’s ISSA Girls Open basketball play-offs at the Montego Bay Cricket Club starting at 9:30am.

Six schools, two from each of the three conferences, will meet in a one-day rally to determine the national champions. It’s the first time the event is being held in Montego Bay.

Each team will play two games in the first round with the top team from each zone advancing to the finals set for 3:30pm. The runners-up will meet in the third place play-off prior to the final.

Zone 1 will include the runner-up from Southern Conference, Glenmuir the runner-up from the Central Conference as well as Spot Valley; while Zone 2 will see William Knibb Memorial, Central Zone champions STETHS and the Southern champions.

St Hugh’s High and St Andrew High were due to meet in the Southern conference final on Wednesday afternoon.

Meanwhile, Loretta Gordon scored all 55 points as Spot Valley upset defending champions William Knibb Memorial 55-49 in the western conference final played on Friday at the Montego Bay Cricket Club, to avenge their one point loss last season.

William Knibb, who played without the suspended Nicole Hall, trailed by two points 10-12 at the end of the first quarter but rallied in the second quarter to lead 22-18.

Spot Valley retook the lead in the third quarter, led by a slim two points 36-34 and held on to win.

Khedine Thompson scored 21 points to lead William Knibb, Shanique Binns had a double-double of 12 points and 14 rebounds while Andrea Campbell scored 10 points.
