Point repel Little Devils b-ballers

Point Fortin All Stars repelled the best efforts of the Caribbean Little Devils at the Southwestern Indoor Sports Facility, Point Fortin, on Friday night taking a 71-59 win off of the reigning Suriname Basket-ball League champs. K King provided a match-high 16 points while S Russell put in 10 points while for Little Devils, Watson Herbert scored 10 and Rain Yambo got seven. But the visitors fell just short of the win that would have given them a 2-1 finish in the three-match goodwill series. National Flour Mills continued their unbeaten run in the four-team competition with a 85-73 thrashing of the Marabella Raptors who had a contrasting record of three losses. Marlon Drakes scored a match-high 17 points, Marlon Bernard scored 11 and Jason Delise let in 10 to put them in line for the NFM win. For Raptors, Damien Caton, a stalwart in the team scored 10 points and A Grant put in 11. The competition was hosted by the Trinidad and Tobago Basketball Federation and is part of their efforts to bring basketball back to prominence here.
