In more playoff action…
It was a battle between the 4th and 5th seeds.
4th place Western Union Juniors defeted 5th place Celltronics 90 to 84 in the single elimination match on Moday night at the John Gray gym.
For Juniors, Jathan Barnes top scored with 28 points, 5 steals, 5 rebounds; Marcus Fletcher followed with 19 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks; Keller Wilson added 12 points, 4 steals; Jeheil Henry contributed 9 points. The highest rebounder for the team was Noel Squire with 7.
For Celltronics, Daniel Mowatt led the charge with 29 points, Damion Powell followed with 19 points, 20 rebounds, 2 steals, Davion Foster added 13 points, 11 rebounds and Gavin Reid contributed 10 points, 5 steals, 5 rebounds. Rick Henry aka Broklyn grabbe 18 rebouds with 7 points.
Though Celltronics lost the battle they clearly beat the Juniors on the boards and were point for point with their opponents…so what happened? Celltronics had a small bench and with two key players fouling out, there was not enough depth on the team to keep up with the Juniors who took advantage of this opportunity to advance to the semi-finals.
WU Juniors will now face 1st seed Burger King Warriors in the semi-finals this week.
All CIBA games are played at the John Gray Gumnasium.
