Centre-court players Randy Greenidge and Ashton DuMurrell both netted 17 points each, while teammate Nathan Lewis connected on four three-pointers as their club, Ministry of Sports Schoolaz dropped Sangre Grande Young Stars 79-55 when competition in the Men's Division of the Mackeson Super 10 Basketball League continued at the Jean Pierre Sports Complex, Mucurapo, on Sunday night.
The Ministry of Sports' team led from the jump-ball 25-9, 47-22 and 57-38, after three sessions of play to record only its second win in seven matches. For Sangre Grande, forward Joel Hamilton was the only player in double figures with 10 points. It was Sangre Grande's eighth loss in nine matches.
A night prior, Detour Shak Attack defeated Sangre Grande 77-57.
Meanwhile, in the Women's Division, defending champion Brian Chase Academy (BCA), smarting from its 60-54 loss to Police a week before, defeated Colours 55-47. BCA led 13-9 after the first quarter which allowed it to open a 28-17 half-time lead. Colours then outscored its opponents 18-17, but it still was not good enough to deny the returning champion its first win of the season.
Centre Afeisha Noel led the way with 20 points for the winners, while forward Tequana Cox also netted the same number for Colours.
