CHAMPIONS!

Mt Alvernia win ISSA Western Conference basketball title, look to national crown

MONTEGO BAY, St James — Fresh off their victory over Herbert Morrison Technical to secure a perfect season in the ISSA Western Conference Girls’ Open basketball final at the Montego Bay Cricket Club last Thursday, Mt Alvernia High have set their sights on a national title next Wednesday in the ISSA National play-offs at Knox Community College in Manchester.

Both teams will represent the Western Conference as they seek to add the national title to their accomplishments.

Six schools — two from each of the three conferences — will participate in the one day play-offs with Mt Alvernia High playing in Zone Two against Central Conference runners- up Glenmuir High and Southern Conference runners- up Camperdown High.

Herbert Morrison will be in Zone One against Central champions DeCarteret College and Southern winners Holy Childhood High.

Last Thursday, Mt Alvernia High, led by a game high 27 points from Tiana Wilson, completed a perfect season by beating Herbert Morrison 53-46 in a close and exciting game.
