JORDAN Prince Williams Falcons pulled off an impressive 54-19 victory over St John’s Giants to win the junior boys’ title in the Providence Storm Holiday Classic at the CI Gibson Gymnasium on Friday.
The Falcons opened a huge 31-10 advantage at the half behind 15 points from Broc Glinton and seven apiece from Condae Smith and Akeem Major. They were never challenged as they built on their lead in the second half.
Glinton, the most valuable player, finished with a game high 17 points. Major contributed 10, Michael Munnings had eight and Smith ended up with seven.
Philip Hanna, who coached the team from the sidelines while Ernest Saunders worked the bench, gave God all the glory for a total team effort that enabled them to achieve their accomplishments.
“It was a good game. The boys competed. It could have gone either way, but thank the Lord. We give God all the glory for this victory,” Hanna said. “It was up and down, but the guys locked on the defensive end in the second half and we got the job done.”
Even when Jordan Prince Williams went to their bench, St John’s College didn’t have the defence to contain their offensive flow.
Leonardo Rolle had seven and Christopher Francis five for the Falcons, coached by Darshtyn Baker.
