#COACH Wilton Johnson and his Mt Carmel Preparatory Academy Cavaliers senior boys’ basketball team had something to prove last night at the Hope Centre.
#After losing 41-34 to Akhepran international Academy on Tuesday, they were able to get back in the win column with a nail-biting, 47-45 victory over Akhepran in double overtime yesterday.
#And to make the win even sweeter, they pulled it off in front of their principal, Mr S Kirby Samuel, who came out to show his support.
