HotShots New Champs - Mar 31, 2014
In Saturdays womens final, last years runners-up Mont Fleuri met HotShots who defeated 2013 winners Anse Etoile Stars in the semifinal. HotShots looked a little unsure during the first quarter which ended in Mont Fleuris favour with a score of 11-8, but the players of coach Philip Arissol started stronger in the second and managed to outscore Mont Fleuri. They scored 17 points and Mont Fleuri got 12 to lead 25-23 at half-time. Mont Fleuri started the third quarter with a 3-pointer by Williana Dubois, but the score stayed close as HotShots led 38-36 at the end of 30 minutes of play. With victory on their minds, the HotShots players made sure of committing fewer mistakes and scoring more baskets to win the fourth quarter 12-9 and the game 50-45. HotShots Tina Agathine (C) led all scores with 13 points. HotShots coach Philip Arissol said he is happy with how his players performed although they did not work out their plays as they should. The Curtain-raiser tournament has given me the opportunity to see what I have to work on for the league championship which is to start soon, added coach Arissol. As for his counterpart Tony Juliette he had this to say: Our defence wasnt good. What we worked on in training we did not implement during the game, and we did not perform the plays we worked on. Commenting on Mont Fleuri losing the Curtain-raiser final for a second year in a row, coach Juliette said this tournament is a preparation for the league championship. Im confident Mont Fleuri will do well this season, he added. Courtesy of: basket-in-africa.blogspot.com
