K-Deltas Take Game I Over N.
Commissioners
-As Division II Battles Heats Up
May 13, 2003
Liberia Basketball Federation (LBF) female defending champions,
K-Deltas have begun their defense of the title by taking game one of
the best to three series in the play-offs.
Playing before a capacity crowd at the Sports Commission on Sunday,
K-Deltas parading the likes of Amie Weah, Lovetta Bailey, Edna Wolo,
K. Kollie, Kulu George among others demonstrated that indeed they are
prepared to retain their championship.
On the other hand, the rejuvenated NICOM Commissioners was no pushovers as
Angela Wanie Harris, Shirley and others gave K-Deltas their money’s
worth.
The match was one of the best this season in the female division.
K-Deltas’ Amie Weah shot three points at will, while Lovetta Bailey
did justify that she is also a three-points specialist.
As for NICOM Commissioners, their all-round player Angela Wanie Harris was
a delight to watch, as she rebounded, scored and defended well. Had
NICOM Commissioners had at least another player with the pedigree of
Angela Wanie Harris, K-Deltas would have been beaten.
Meanwhile, Game II is expected to come on next Sunday at the Sports
Commission. A win for K-Deltas will end the series, while a win for
NICOM Commissioner will push the series to Game III.
In the second division play-off, Barnersville Sniper fell to SOS Trotters,
70-75.
In the first division, Flames beat Timberwolves, 88-87, while T-Chons
whipped Royal Legends, 64-60.
The play-offs continue on Wednesday with games scheduled in the second,
first and premier divisions.
In the last match of the regular season in the premier league, NPA Pythons
beat Mighty Barrolle,
80-78 to top the table. The deadly Pythons will not meet LPRC Oilers,
while Uhuru Kings and Barrolle will meet in the play-offs to determine
who goes to the grand final.
