MONTEGO BAY, St James — Defending champions Herbert Morrison Technical are the only unbeaten teams left in the ISSA Western Conference boys’ basketball competition, after sweeping their double-header against Holland High at Herbert Morrison on Thursday.

Also on Thursday, former champions Muschett High swept their double-header over Irwin High, winning 55-6 in the junior game then 82-21 in the Under-19 match.

Herbert Morrison took over sole leadership in the Under-19 section with 10 points, two more than second-place William Knibb Memorial, with three schools — Cornwall College, Holland High and Rhodes Hall — all on seven points. York Castle and Muschett High, meantime, are on six points each, while Irwin High follow on five points.
