The University of The Bahamas (UB) Mingoes defeated the Baha Juniors FC, 3-0, in Bahamas Football Association (BFA) action at the Roscow A.L. Davies Soccer Field on Sunday, improving to an unblemished 3-0 win/loss record for the season.

The Mingoes were prolific in scoring in their first two matches but ended the first half tied 0-0 against the Baha Juniors. They exploded in the second half.

In their first game of the season, the Mingoes scored two goals in the first half against the Renegades FC. They added four goals against Cavalier FC in their second match of the season.

On Sunday, the Mingoes didn’t score until the 51st minute of the game, with the goal off a corner kick from Nathan Wells. The kick gave Rodain Lamour his first goal of the season, and as a freshman, the first goal of his Mingoes career. The Mingoes took a 1-0 lead at that point.

Wells’ speed paid off for the Mingoes in the 61st minute. He intercepted a lazy pass from the Baha Juniors near the penalty box and proceeded for an easy unassisted toe shot to give the Mingoes a 2-0 advantage.

Lamour though wasn’t done on the afternoon. In the 89th minute, Lamour fielded a loose ball near the center and fired a long pass to give Ricardo Walkes an opportunity for a bending strike right past the Baha Junior FC keeper. Walkes scored his first goal as a UB Mingoes athlete and Lamour picked up the assist as the Mingoes went up 3-0 – the eventual final score as the match ended seconds later.

The Mingoes now sport a 3-0 record in the league.

Despite the win, Assistant Head Coach Alex Thompson said he was “disappointed in the way the guys played” but happy for the win.

“We had some freshmen step up in the second half,” he said. “On a day where our typical key players were a bit lacking we had role players step up and I think it was huge for the team.”

The Mingoes are expected to play the Insurance Management Bears at the Roscow A.L. Davies Field at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

The 3Lynx Boyz and the Paradise Games Wildcats are the men and women’s champions after the inaugural two-day Bahamas Flag Football League (BFFL) Heroes Tournament that wrapped up on Sunday on the fields outside the old Thomas A. Robinson Track and Field Stadium.

In the men’s division, the 3Lynx Boyz out of Grand Bahama played a familiar foe in the Skye’s Limit Rock Boyz. It was an all-Grand Bahama final. In the end, the 3Lynx Boyz scored a close 12-7 victory, lifting their third championship trophy this year. Wide receiver McKell Bethel was the Most Valuable Player (MVP). The 3Lynx Boyz also won the Grand Bahama Flag Football League (GBFFL) Championship and the GBFFL Invitational this year.

The Wildcats, from New Providence, shut out Zero Tolerance out of Grand Bahama, 20-0, in the ladies championship game. Wide receiver Carlene Johnson was the MVP. Like the 3Lynkz Boyz, the Wildcats added three championship trophies to their cabinet with this win. They won the BFFL championship trophy and the Sand Wars trophy this year.

Winning the men’s 5v5 division was the Abaco Sharks. They took down the AnkleBullies. The visiting Cayman Islands team won the 5v5 co-ed division, taking down Wildside.

Tournament organizer Bianca Lee said that the weather held up well and the local teams, the islands, and international teams came to represent.

“The championship games saw many of our visiting teams compete. The competition was real and it was a fantastic tournament at a high competitive level,” Lee said.

The Wildcats had three different scorers in the championship game, including two in the second half. In the first half, Danielle Zonicle caught a ball in the end zone on a perfect pass to put the Wildcats up 6-0 before they got the extra point to go up 7-0.

In the second half, the Wildcats used a slant play from their own territory to score. Tai Dorsett caught the ball and sprinted from the left side of the field to the right side and was a runaway train as her teammates got some good blocks to help her, and she did the rest. Dorsett ran right down the sideline and into the end zone for the touchdown.

“It was the same play where we scored on them the day before,” Dorsett said about her touchdown. “I saw the green light and I ran my gasket out trying to get into the end zone but I made it a lot faster than I thought.”

The final touchdown came from Johnson. That came on a fake pitch by quarterback Natasha Whymms. Johnson sprinted down the field and caught a pass. She took two steps and got into the end zone for a touchdown to put them up 19-0. Kicker Danae Capron’s extra point was good and they went up 21-0.

Head Coach Dwight ‘Doc’ Marshall said that the ladies competed at a high level.

“It is a relief,” Marshall said. “The ladies set the goal high. They are very competitive, even in our practices. They did it for our fallen coach Phil Rahming so they were motivated by that. They stuck to it. We played that team yesterday and we got the drop on what they were trying to do, and we knew based on our players who have speed that we were going to use that to our advantage. They are experienced ladies and have a lot of leaders on the field.”

Defensive coordinator for the Wildcats Davaughn ‘Spurs’ Edgecombe spoke about his team’s tenacious defense and their game plan.

“From a defensive standpoint, we knew he had one of the best defenses in the tournament. We wanted to set the tone early with pressure up front to make the quarterback dance in the pocket. We wanted some more picks but we kept them in check and held them off the board,” Edgecombe said.

There were 21 teams that participated in the tournament. Lee is hoping to have more teams in next year’s tournament.

He comes out on top in his second straight BPGT event

Simba FrenchSend an emailOctober 11, 2022 234 3 minute readFacebookTwitterLinkedInShare via Email

For a second consecutive Bahamas Professional Golf Tour (BPGT) event, David Harris came out on top. This time it was at the Hillshire Farm Open on Sunday, taking place on the Royal Blue Golf Course at Baha Mar.

The Houston, Texas native was in action in August at the BPGT’s Bahamas Waste Open and emerged victorious. On Sunday, he shot a three-under par 69 to improve on his performance from August where he shot an even par 72.

“I just came to play golf,” Harris said. “I came to have fun and support the event. It is good that they have something where pros here in The Bahamas can play and continue to hone their skills. The course was in great condition and it was good competition.”

Harris has a goal of playing on the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) Champions Tour in 2024.

Finishing behind him on Sunday was Keno Turnquest who scored an even par 72. Tour Founder and Director Riccardo Davis finished third after scoring a three-over par 75.

Harris said it was a tough front nine for him as he had two bogies but was able to salvage it by hitting a birdie on the ninth hole. He then went on to hit back-to-back birdies on holes 10 and 11 to gain some ground on the field. Birdies on holes 15 and 17 helped him to shoot five under on the back nine where he also did not have any bogeys.

“I have been working on my game over the last six weeks or so. I expected to play well. The plan was to just come out and beat the course. I am not trying to beat anyone else, but I am trying to beat the golf course,” Harris said.

Harris said he appreciates Davis and his team’s effort in hosting competitive events for pro golfers. On a weekly basis, Harris assists junior golfers locally along with his wife pro Bahamian golfer Georgette Harris, formerly Georgette Rolle, at Fourteen Clubs Golf Academy.

Davis said he was happy to see the players come out on Sunday and put on a show.

“We had a good turnout. We had almost all the top players in The Bahamas here with the exception of two who are off the island. We had a great and strong field,” Davis said. He also spoke about his round and how he looks to finish higher in the rankings.

“I have not been able to practice the way that I need to. Like the last event, I came in a little shaky because I was not able to hit balls in practice like I need to. For the next event, I will be practicing because I cannot finish third and shoot the same score again,” Davis said.

After the one round event, the BPGT made a presentation to Resources and Education for Autism and related Challenges (REACH) to help with the work of the organization.

“We want to help the golfers, but we also want to help a cause that is dear to our hearts because we have family members with autism. We know that it is overlooked as something that is not important, but it is important to us, and we are going to continue to donate to them every single month once we have the event,” Davis stated.

A board member from REACH, Greer Symonette-Bain, said they are happy to receive the assistance as they will use it to help with the work they are doing. It is a parent organization that is active in providing support to parents and resources to children.

“It will be used to provide services and resources for children who are on the spectrum and come to REACH weekly. We have children who we give speech therapy services to and parent support for parents whose children are on the spectrum,” Symonette-Bain said.

Davis and his team are looking at putting on the next BPGT event closer to the end of November. They will finalize the course and dates in short order.

#LASHANN Higgs’ third pro basketball season in Spain got off to a winning start in the Liga Femenina Endesa.

#Higgs scored nine points and grabbed five rebounds in her debut with Hozono Global Jairis in their 64-51 win over Cadi La Seu in the season opener.

#Jairis returns to the court on October 12 against Gran Canaria.

#Jairis head coach, Lucas Fernández, said he has lofty expectations for the impact Higgs will have on the club for the 2022-23 campaign.

#“Lashann Higgs is a player who, within her humility and effort, has a great capacity to generate advantages from her one on one skills, with the ability to finish, to assist, and with great physical abilities in defence,” he said.

#“She is a player who from the beginning has shown us great enthusiasm for joining our team and who I am sure will work hard to offer us her best version.”

#Jairis finished last season 24-6, second in the standings and looks for Higgs to be one a key factor in improving to the league’s top record. “We have no doubt that she will bring all of her quality, effectiveness, and experience to this exciting season ahead,” Fernandez said.

#Higgs concluded last season in the Liga Femenina Endesa with Lointek Gernika Bizkaia.

#In 25 games she averaged 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

#Prior to Spain, she had a brief stint with Rutronik Stars Keltern Damen- Basketball-Bundesliga (DBBL), the premier women’s basketball league in Germany.

#Higgs spent her rookie season of pro basketball with Bembibre PDM in the Liga Femenina Endesa. She finished as the third leading scorer in the league at 15.8 points per game on 54 percent shooting from the field.

#She also shot 33 percent from three-point range, 76 percent from the free throw line and was third on the team at 4.2 rebounds per game.

#Tribune Sports Reporter

#rdorsett@tribunemedia.net

#FRENCH Nationale Masculine 1 League club CTC LYONSO Basket Territoire will now have two Bahamians on their roster for the 2022 campaign.

#The club announced the signing of Willis Mackey Jr as a medical transfer for the next three months. He joins Aaron Levarity, who signed with LYONSO in August.

#“His arrival will compensate for the prolonged absence of our American interior Michael Craion,” the club said of Mackey’s signing. “It is therefore a high quality reinforcement that joins Team LYONSO for the next few months.”

#Mackey spent last season with another NM1 club, Mulhouse Basket Agglomeration.

#In 33 games, the fourth year 6’7” forward averaged 11.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game on 62 percent shooting from the field and 39 percent from three-point range. Mackey spent the previous season with JSA Bordeaux Métropole Basket as the team struggled to a 7-19 record, 13th place in Group A. In 16 games he averaged 13.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

#Levarity will enter the third season of his professional career. He spent his last two seasons with the Svendborg Rabbits of the Basketligaen, the highest level of basketball in Denmark.

#Last season he averaged 14.9 points and 11 rebounds per game in 36 contests. He also averaged 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game. In his first season with the Rabbits, Levarity averaged 12 points and 5.5 rebounds per game with the club. “LYONSO is happy to announce the arrival of Aaron Levarity within the club. This powerful and scoring 4-5 position comes from Svendborg Rabbits, a Danish first division club, and reinforces Maxence Broyer’s squad,” the organisation said in a press release.

#“The whole Team LYONSO welcomes Aaron and can’t wait to see him in action on the Canopée floor.”

#LYONSO will face Mackey’s former club, Mulhouse, tonight as they look to improve to 2-1.

#Fresh off helping Great Britain baseball make history at the World Baseball Classic Qualifiers, Tahnaj Thomas was back on the mound continuing his season in the Arizona Fall League.

#The Pittsburgh Pirates prospect has made a pair of relief appearances for the Surprise Saguaros as the club opened the season 3-1.

#He pitched 1.2 innings in the Saguaros 11-6 opening day win over the Salt Water River Rafters where he recorded a strikeout, but struggled through a pair of walks and giving up a three run home run.

#In last night’s 8-6 win over the Rafters, Thomas pitched 1.1 inning but again allowed a solo home-run in his appearance.

#The Saguaros roster includes prospects from the Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals, and Houston Astros. The Solar Sox includes Cubs, Miami Marlins, Oakland Athletics, Tampa Bay Rays, and New York Yankees prospects.

#Thomas spent his regular season with the Altoona Curve at the AA level.

#In 37 games this year, he finished with a 5-4 record and three saves. He pitched 50.2 innings, with a 3.02 ERA and 52 strikeouts.

#The 22-year-old 6’5” right hand pitcher, is currently ranked no.29 in the Pirates organisation according to MLB Pipeline, has delivered a series of impressive performances.

#Thomas was named to the MLB Pipeline Prospect Team of the Week for July 4 to July 10.

#Chicago Cubs prospect BJ Murray is also an AFL participant with the Mesa Solar Sox.

#The 22-year-old infielder has made a successful transition to High-A baseball and his progression within the Chicago Cubs organisation. Murray and his South Bend Cubs claimed the Midwest League Championship series in High A baseball. He hit .545 for the series

#In 56 games with South Bend, Murray hit .273, slugging .406, with a .794 OPS, with 51 hits, 22 runs scored, eight doubles, five home runs, 28 RBI and eight stolen bases.

#The league attracts many of the top prospects in the minor leagues. Late in the minor league seasons, MLB clubs hold a position draft to determine the players who will participate in the AFL.

#Most are Double-A and Triple-A players. The league is designed for these prospects to refine their skills and perform in game settings in front of major and minor league baseball scouts and team executives, who are in attendance at almost every game.

#Several Bahamians have advanced to the AFL in recent history, including Champ Stuart in 2016, Anfernee Seymour in 2017, Jazz Chisholm Jr and Lucius Fox in 2018 and Chavez Fernander in 2021.

#Approximately 60 percent of all AFL participants have reached the major leagues. The league has produced 278 All-Stars, 17 Most Valuable Players, six Cy Young Award winners and 29 Rookies of the Year.

 Home|Sports|SAC association gives back to junior golfSports

The Nassau GuardianSend an emailOctober 7, 2022 173 2 minute readFacebookTwitterLinkedInShare via Email

The St. Augustine’s College (SAC) Alumni Association made a financial donation to the Bahamas Golf Federation (BGF) Junior Division at the Baillou Hills Sporting Complex Golf Course on Thursday.

A donation of $2,500 came from the funds raised from the association’s Unca Lou Charity Golf Tournament that was held at the Royal Blue Golf Course in June. President of the association Cherrelle Cartwright said that the donation was part of their goal of encouraging the youth. Overall, they raised over $100,000.

“We decided to allocate a portion of the proceeds from the Uncle Lou Charity Tournament that we had in June. One of the things that the association and charity tournament wanted to do was to give back not only to our alma mater but to the community. We felt it would be fitting to give back to golf’s junior program to encourage the youth. We wanted it to be clear to people that we not only give to our own,” Cartwright said.

Chairperson of the BGF Junior Division Gina Gonzalez-Rolle was off the island but sent in her remarks to the association, thanking them for the donation. She ensured them that the funds will be used to grow the sport among the juniors.

“The Unca Lou Charity and SAC Alumni Association realized the demanding work and time that the BGF Junior Division was putting into growing the game of golf. They decided since this is something that they all hold dear to their hearts, it is something they wanted to invest in to ensure that the game continues to grow,” Gonzalez-Rolle said.

She added that the sport will only continue to grow once they have individuals and Corporate Bahamas’ help with growth and development.

Cartwright said that they have given back to other organizations such as the Bahamas diabetic society, Bishop Lawrence Rolle’s feeding program, the Great Commission program and others.

Chairman of the Unca Lou Charity Committee said that the golf tournament was good.

“We did quite well as we exceeded what we had budgeted. When we started, we thought that we would give some support to the junior golfers. Today was the day that we made the presentation to give them some assistance,” Rolle said.

Cartwright gave an update on the progress of SAC’s sporting complex softball fields.

“We are looking to start work and totally transform the softball field over the course of the next few months. At present, we are procuring the equipment and supplies needed to take it to the next level,” Cartwright stated.

The association is looking to stage the second edition of the tournament next year, in the first quarter of 2023. There were 48 two-man teams which played in the tournament in June.

Richard Gibson Jr. and Kerrington Rolle emerged as the winners.

Ayton, Hield and Jones tuning up for the NBA season

Simba FrenchSend an emailOctober 7, 2022 142 2 minute readFacebookTwitterLinkedInShare via Email

All three Bahamians in the National Basketball Association (NBA) – Chavano ‘Buddy’ Hield, DeAndre Ayton and Kai Jones – were on the court for their respective teams in preseason play on Wednesday night.

Hield’s Indiana Pacers and Jones’ Charlotte Hornets met in an early game at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Pacers got the best of the Hornets, winning 122-97.

Ayton and his Phoenix Suns took on the Los Angeles Lakers on neutral ground, playing at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Suns came away with a 119-115 victory.

The Suns center finished with seven points and a game-high eight rebounds in 25 minutes on the floor. He made three of his 12 shot attempts and missed his only three-point attempt of the night. He was also able to come away with two steals and a block.

As expected, Ayton played sparingly, sitting out the fourth quarter.

The Lakers got the ball rolling in the first quarter, taking a 35-28 lead. It was an even second quarter as both teams dropped in 34 points. The Lakers led 69-62 at the half. As expected, both teams cleared their benches in the second half.

The Suns opened the preseason with a 134-124 loss to the Adelaide 36ers on Sunday, and improved to a 2-0 win/loss record with that win over the Lakers on Wednesday.

Ayton and the Suns return to preseason action on Monday October 11, taking on the Denver Nuggets at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.

Hield scored seven points and added five rebounds and two assists. He finished the night shooting 3-for-8 from the field and 1-for-4 from deep in 20 minutes on the floor. He added three steals.

Jones played eight minutes and came away with one point. He missed all three of his attempts from the field including two shots from deep. He split his two free throws and added two rebounds and an assist.

The Pacers went into the second quarter with a 27-17 lead. Hield got on the scoreboard at the 8:33 mark of the second period when he connected on a shot from deep. His team went up 41-20 at that point. They went into the intermission with a 59-43 lead. In the third quarter, the Pacers outscored the Hornets 36-25, taking a 95-68 lead at the end of the third quarter.

Jones entered the game at the 8:20 mark of the fourth quarter. He took his first shot at the 7:19 mark.

The Hornets’ loss was their second of the preseason. They will play the Boston Celtics at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, at 7:30 p.m. tonight. It is the second time that the teams will meet this week. The Celtics won the first game 134-93.

Hield and the Pacers will play their second preseason game against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, New York, at 7:30 p.m. tonight.

The NBA regular season tips off on Tuesday October 18.
