Maloney woman b-baller sweeps community awards

Unit Trust Maloney Pacers were presented with the spoils of their efforts as the inaugural season of the Eastern Community Basketball League came to an official close. Pacers collected the Women’s League Trophy and the First and Second Divisions League and Knock-out titles. And their player Melissa Guerero swept the “Top Scorer,” “Most Steals,” “Most Rebounds” and MVP awards. Both Jeffrey Bourne and Jason Cobbler nabbed the “Most Steals” accolade in the First and Second Divisions and coach Christopher Jackson Charles was appropriately named “Most Disciplined Coach of the Year” for his leadership.

Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Roger Boynes presented Charles with his award. The Eastern Community Basketball League Under-21 Ambassadors who recently were runners-up in a tournament in Venezuela were also presented to those in attendance at the ceremony held at the Maloney indoor facility on Saturday. The teams who participated were Maloney Pacers, Marabella Raptors, Grande All Stars, Edinburgh 500 Hawks, Brain Chase Academy, Caledonia Clippers, Colours, Malick Tigers, Police, Chaguanas Hackers, Maloney Old School, TSTT, Valencia Heat, Macoya Forum, Prisons, Park Royals, Grande Young Stars, CLICO Pioneers, Tacarigua Ball Players and UWI.
