THE Tabernacle Baptist Falcons captured the Grand Bahama Secondary Schools Athletic Association’s senior boys basketball title on Saturday at the St George’ High School Gymnasium.

In a match-up between two Baptist schools, the Falcons pulled off a 54-46 triumph over the Sunland Lutheran Stingers to complete the best-of-three series with a 2-1 edge.

Ayden Miller scored a game high 16 points in the win, while Jordan Saunders had 11 in the loss.

Miller was named the most valuable player, while Bradleon McDonald was the defensive player. Kevin Clarke was selected as the coach of the tournament.

Clarke and the Falcons are heading to the 39th edition of the prestigious Hugh Campbell Basketball Classic this weekend at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium. They won in 2017 and 2018.

The Doris Johnson Mystic Marlins, coached then by Denycho Bowles, are the defending champions, having won the last tournament in 2019.

Organisers didn’t stage the tournament over the past two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
