LIME 2009 Hoops Classic
Well, the season has began and the Warriors know they are in for a fight.
The St. Lucia Basketball Federation (SLBF) Premier League, dubbed the LIME Hoops Classic, opened last Saturday at the Vigie Sports Complex, starting with a modest opening ceremony MC'd by Ms. Julie Bonnet of the National Basketball Officiating Committee. Speeches were delivered by SLBF President Mr. Anthony Lamontagne, Director of Youth and Sports Ms. Fortuna Belrose and LIME representative Mr. Terry Finisterre. The Royal St. Lucia Police Band regally marched the teams off the court, then the tournament began with the Warriors meeting the Soufriere Sulphur Stars in the first of two opening matches.
The Warriors were ill-prepared, and it showed. A few minutes into the game the team looked like a broken down vehicle with no decent car insurance - they were that lost. The Sulphur Stars out classed the Warriors in almost every statistic including field goal percentage (Sulphur Stars 41%, Warriors 21%), rebounding (39, 23) and turnovers (17,19).
The Warriors never lead, but remained within 10 points for the better part of the first 3 quarters, closing with 2 points at the end of the 3rd. But the coup-de-gras was served in the 4th where the Warriors could not buy a basket for at least 4 minutes, and the Sulphur Stars went on a run.
Sulphur Stars floor leader, Eugustus 'Bara' Jean, played a great game with a double-double including 14 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Warriors captain, Gillan 'Siton' Joseph, also had a modest game with 13 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists. Tim "Shepp Dogg" Baptiste scored a team high 14 points for the Warriors, with 7 steals and 3 rebounds.
