Both Airport Authority and Hill Top Blazers secured big victories in the Tobago Zone Basketball League's B Division, on Saturday, with the latter club doing so against the high flying Lambeau 56ers. This before rain forced the postponement of the third fixture carded for the evening.
The inclement weather disrupted proceedings at Shaw Park's basketball courts, when Hill Bouncers and Pure Players were scheduled to clash.
The fans came out in their numbers to witness the match, but were inevitably forced to evacuate the uncovered court, much to their disappointment.
However, the day opened with a comprehensive 63�39 win for Airport Authority over Pure Energy, with the winning team easing to the two-point win courtesy of a 24-point haul from Kevin Hackett.
His opposite number, Mickel Seebaram proved to be Pure Energy's most potent shooter on the evening with 14 points. The win for Airport Authority came soon after it recorded a 62�57 win over Hills United.
In the second B Division match, Hill Top Blazers played an exciting see-saw battle with the then-league leader Lambeau 56ers, particularly in the first half of the contest, before the momentum swerved in favour of the former in the second half of the battle.
Hill Top cohesively pulled away nearing the most important period of the match, with Preston Winchester leading the team to victory with 24 points. Dexter McKenzie ended with the same scoring figure, but could not turn it into a victory for the 56ers.
Three nights prior, Uprising took a 66�60 win over Airport Authority's first team in the Allan Warner A Division. Kester Mcmillan scored 20 points for Uprising, while Chris Nelson led all scorers with 23 points for the losing team.
That same evening, Frontliners shocked previously unbeaten Star Seekers 49�42 in the Women's Division. Star Seekers was led by O'Jhave Cipriani, while Aresisa Sandy led for Frontliners, both with 12 points.
