MONTEGO BAY, St James — Montego Bay Hoopers will end their regular season in the Western Basketball Association’s Elite Basketball League on a high today when they take on Lucea Flames in the first game of a double-header at the Montego Bay Cricket Club, set to start at 6:00 pm.

Hoopers are on 21 points and lead the standing, and a win today should secure a place in the semi-finals.

Cricket Club Knights, who are on 17 points with three games to be played, helped their semi-final chances on Saturday with an easy 91-70 win over last-placed Flames at Cricket Club.

Knights’s Daniel Malcolm led all scorers with 28 points as his team outscored Lucea 56-36 over the final two quarters to ease to an easy victory.
