Siparia and Enterprise both had their dream run in the Hoop of Life Community Basketball League come to an abrupt end over the weekend, as the two teams suffered their first losses of the campaign.
Enterprise was dropped 69-57 by Longdenville, which had a strong second-half performance to take away an easy win.
After falling behind 17-13 in the first quarter, Enterprise put on a brave performance in the second period to trail by a solitary point. However, the zonal leader fell to the host once again in the third period, which ended 46-40 and never managed to reverse the score.
For the victors, Longdenville, which stands on three wins and as many losses, Tyson Gandarew led the way with 16 points, while Joel Morgan and Elton Crichlow supported with 14 and 13 points, respectively.
Austin Ralph led all scorers with 17 points for Enterprise, followed by Kofi Campbell who added 15.
On Saturday, Devon Maddell scored an incredible 48 points to become the league's highest points scorer in a 73-67 victory for Palo Seco over Siparia at Bennette Village Basketball Court, Santa Flora.
Palo Seco's surprise win ended Siparia's six-match victory streak. It was revenge for Palo Seco, which lost 71-64 the first time the two teams met this season at Irwin Park.
The winning team held the advantage throughout the encounter 17-16, 21-20, 17-16 and 18-15.
