Wolmer\u2019s Boys\u2019 School are ISSA Urban Under-16 schoolboy basketball champions, while the Under-19 champions will be decided in a Game Three following action at St George\u2019s College yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by a strong all-round performance from Alexander Richardson, who finished with a game-high 18 points, eight rebounds, and seven steals, the Howard Harvey-coached team from Heroes Circle came from behind to score a convincing 65-50 win over Jamaica College (JC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Farquharson chipped in with 12 points and nine rebounds, while Justin Wright added 12 points in support of Richardson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down 0-1 after losing their first game to Wolmer\u2019s last Friday, the Duane Cunningham-coached Jamaica College team came out more positively as they rushed into a 14-7 first-quarter lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the champions found their rhythm in the second quarter, outscoring their opponents 18-12 as Jamaica College held a slender 26-25 lead at the halftime break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fired-up Wolmer\u2019s team produced an impressive third quarter, outscoring their opponents 22-10 to take a 47-36 lead going into the final quarter. Wolmer\u2019s maintained their momentum in the closing stages, adding 18 points to their opponents\u2019 14 to secure a comprehensive 15-point win, blanking JC 2-0 in the best-of-three series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the under-19 finals, the Ryan Martell-coached Campion College stayed alive in hopes of retaining their title, forcing a third and decisive game to be played on their home court after a workmanlike performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defending champions were off to a fast start, taking the game to St George\u2019s College, leading 24-12 by the end of the first quarter. The home team, however, rallied in the second quarter, outscoring Campion 23-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the defending champions still led 39-35 at the halftime break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bent on forcing a Game Three at home, Campion maintained their dominance in the third quarter, outscoring (STGC) 20-12 to take a healthy 12-point lead going into the final quarter at 59-47.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While STGC outscored Campion 18-17 in the final quarter, it was not enough as the defending champions secured a decisive win and a Game-Three decider at home on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zachary Lawrence-Smith top-scored with 24 points for Campion, while teammate Ryeem Martell added 15 points and 13 rebounds. Imani Salmon led the losers with 24 points, while Jonathon Forbes contributed 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
