The 2008 season
of the Schools’ Basketball League came to a close on Friday
June 27 with a prize giving ceremony in the VIP Lounge of
the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
The League went off incident free despite a few challenges
with play-offs because of rescheduled CSEC exams.
The north, east and Tobago zones were, as usual, out in full
force. Representation from the south and central zones
still leaves a lot to be desired yet the good news is that
first time participants St Benedict’s College and Barrackpore Secondary
Comprehensive made great impressions both on and off the
court!
Under
17 Boys North Zone MVP Adnickos Wilson from St Benedict’s College
and Female Open South Zone MVP Anna Huggins spoke about the benefits
gained from participation in the league. Apart from the
obvious benefits of making friends, learning about team spirit and
fair play, both players also explained how playing basketball helped
them with dealing with their emotions, anger management, focusing on
their studies and disappointment when faced with defeat. |
