Cayman Prep Takes the Title

The KPMG Under 14 Boys Basketball League culminated in an epic final on March 27th at the John Gray High School Gymnasium. The final would see John Gray High School, led by Josh Barrett and Dwight Hewitt Jr face off against the likes of Quin Small, Liam Ramoon and Naz Webb.

The game was as exciting as any basketball fan could imagine! Both teams made runs, exchanging the lead more than 10 times throughout the game! Just when you though one team was running away with the game, their opponents would make a run and erase the lead. Fans were on the edge of their seats as Prep made adjustments, followed by John Gray orchestrating multiple formulas, trying to solve the complex problems their opponents were causing.

But despite Josh Barrett’s 35 point performance, it was not enough as Quinn, Ramoon and Webb would lead their team to victory with well distributed scoring. KPMG has been the proud supporter and prime sponsor of this League for over 10 years and have been delighted to see our youth shine through this platform! Final Score: 51 – 46 in favor of Cayman Prep.

O’Garro Erupts for 61 Points

It seemed like a typical night; clear skies, wonderful tropical weather, a beautiful gymnasium and some usual good basketball action. But fans did not expect to see Samuel O’Garro put on the offensive showcase of the season. With a few players on the injured list, O’Garro knew that he would have to turn up the heat and Fuel his team to victory!

Not only did he do that, but he posted his new personal scoring best of not 40, not 50, but 61 points! O’Garro was just 3 points away from tying the national scoring record, held by Collin Anglin (64 points) that was posted in 2007 against the Blazers.

O’Garro scored more than 66% of his team’s total points and also had the second most rebounds, getting it done on both ends of the floor. Omar Clarke finished with 4 points and 19 rebounds.

For the Bullets, Jaheim White and Samuel Webb led the way with 18 and 16 points a piece. The Bullets had 4 players in double figures, but their inexperience got the better of them vs the veteran Blazer team. Final Score: Sol – 91, Silver Bullets B – 70.

The Bullets were also out-rebounded 61-30 and struggled from the free throw line, shooting just above 50% on the night.
