3 Trini b-ballers get US schols

THREE Trinidadian basketballers have secured basketball scholarships in the United States.

This was announced yesterday by David Farrell an official of  Integrity Sports Management Group. The three are Travis Carrington, Marlon Bernard and Michael Pantin, who were chosen during a scholarship search at the Woodbrook Youth Facility in April this year. This sporting talent search by ISM, a Florida-based sports agency was done with the support of Nestle Trinidad Ltd. Carrington is a 6’ 8” forward, who was named Most Valuable Player at the this year’s National Gas Company Schools Basketball League. Bernard at 6’ 7” is also a forward who was very outstanding in the same tournament, while Pantin,  a 6’  6” off guard, helped National Flour Mills win the Championship Division of the Royal Extra North Zone Basketball League title. All three players have already left to enter training camp with Williston College, North Dakota. They will be expected to show off their improved skills at the Integrity Sports Semi-Professional Under-23 Basketball Tournament between June-July next year. IMS have scholarship contacts in basketball, athletics, football and other sports, and have been responsible for many full schols to outstanding young sportsmen from Trinidad and Tobago.
