Falcons and Suns win championship titles By RENALDO DORSETT Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE Falcons came up short in last year’s semi-finals, but Terrence McSweeney and his squad dominated the divison all season long en route to capturing the BAISS championship title. The Falcons completed the twogame sweep with a 42-15 win over the Kingsway Saints last night at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium. The Falcons had an average margin of victory of 22 points per game in the series after a 39-22 win in game one. McSweeney said the programme has had a stellar three-year run, but it was fitting to claim the championship title after his team’s recommitment in the offseason.

“This is my third season and in those three years this team has lost one game in the regular season, we have been there knocking on the door for the past two seasons and this offseason they decided to dig down and really work so we can make this an historic occasion,” he said. “We want to give God thanks for this opportunity to play here. I need to thank Mr Eugene Bonaby for giving me this opportunity but most of all Hattie Moxey, who is an icon in this nation but has given me the green light to go ahead and to work and do what I needed to do to get this team at this level.” Shemique Thompson finished with a game high 12 points, Robyn Porter was again a force in the interior with eight points while Terell Cox and Amir Thompson each

scored six. Chyna Curry led the Saints with six points. The Falcons went on a key run early for the remainder of the second to put the game away for good. The lead reached as much as 26 in the fourth quarter on a Thompson jumper. The Kingsway Academy Saints finished as runners-up for the second consecutive year. McSweeney said the win validated the tradition the Falcons have continued to build. Success is not all in winning, but what you are looking at achieving,” he said. “I think we have achieved a lot so far. “Our future looks bright and we’re looking forward to coming back and we have some juniors who are moving up, so we are looking forward to doing some more

offseason work on our ball-handling and some of shooting skills. If we can get those things done, we can look forward to bringing home the ship home in both divisions.” - In the senior boys’ division, the defending champions claimed back-to-back titles while in the junior boys a new team took the division. The Jordan Prince William Falcons escaped with a 57-54 win over the SAC Big Red Machine to take game two of the series and their second consecutive title. In junior boys’ play, the Temple Christian Suns won game two 3935 to take the series clinching win over the QC Comets. • Check out full game recaps in our Friday Sports edition.

Big Red Machine sweep Comets By RENALDO DORSETT Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net

he St Augustine’s College Big Red Machine’s junior girls basketball programme returned to the top spot of the division following a two-year hiatus. The Big Red Machine closed out a two-game sweep of the defending champions Queen’s College Comets with a 37-26 win yesterday at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium. Following the experience of a heartbreaking loss in last year’s semi-finals, Big Red Machine head coach Anastacia Sands-Moultrie said the team was determined to correct the mistakes of last year. “Last year, we should not have lost in the playoffs. We were up and rejoicing before the whistle went off and we had a girl come right there and make a last second shot to beat us by one point,” she said. “This year and all season long we preached that the whistle ends the game and we play until the whistle blows. They had a few lulls there but they corrected it before the end of the game and it was the difference down the stretch for us.” Karolyn Baptiste scored a game high 13 points while Makayla White scored eight. Baptiste scored the first six points for SAC all at the line and the first nine points of the game from both teams all came at the line as SAC took a 6-3 lead. QC made the first field goal of the game to pull within one (6-5) at end of the first. Baptiste scored the first SAC field goal, and converted a three-point play to make the score 9-5. G Murphy was the first player from

SAC other than Baptiste to score and her rebound and putback sparked a 7-0 run. The Big Red Machine held the Comets scoreless in the quarter until the 33-second mark when D Lightbourn made a baseline jumper for two of her team high 12 points. SAC led 13-7 at the half. After being held scoreless in the first half, Whyte got into the act scoring with a putback and a runner to push the lead to 10 (17-7) with 4:15 left in the third quarter. The Comets responded with a 7-0 run to pull within three but Baptiste stopped the run with a fastbreak layup to regain a two-possession advantage. Tied at 21 with 5:35 left to play, SAC would outscore QC 16-5 the rest of the way. After a Lightbourn layup gave the Comets a brief 2322 lead, SAC went ahead with scores from Whyte, Baptiste and Albury to go ahead for good. With the 2017 title in hand, Sands-Moultrie said she is looking ahead to building players for the senior level and beyond. “It’s been an up and down battle. We were fighting hard to get the girls to the skill level I wanted them at. They are almost there, but I’m not only conditioning them for the junior level, I’m also getting them ready for the senior level,” she said. “Most of them want to go off to college. So I tell them you have to be working hard. Some of them when they get to the senior level they slack off, but at least they will have the foundation from the junior level. Females are so much different than males and it’s harder to coach them. You have to get them while you can.”

BAHAMAS BEATS US TO RETAIN GENE SCOTT TROPHY A STRONG Bahamas IC team which included its most successful Davis Cup player over the last decade, Devin Mullings, and its RUSSELL most successful Fed Cup player Larikah Russell - over the same period - beat the USA to retain The Gene Scott Trophy. This was a sweet result for The Bahamas who had lost to The USA earlier in the month to be beaten in to second place at its own Bahamas IC International Doubles Week. The event was held at the fine 21-court Wellington Tennis Centre, Palm Beach, Florida which former tennis great and IC member Dick Stockton manages. Dick was present throughout the event but unfortunately for the USA, and maybe fortunately for The Bahamas, Dick was injured and unable to play. The Bahamas team consisted of six men and four women playing in a variety of age categories, including one mixed doubles with all players in the 70s. Gene Scott, as well as an outstanding USA tennis player, was highly involved in many aspects of tennis, including his own wellknown tennis magazine and founding the Kremlin Cup. Gene was a leading personality in the IC movement and was instrumental in helping to found The Bahamas IC where he also had a home. At the event and playing was his wife Polly who told us of a major project in the New York area to build courts for poor communities that is a continuing tribute to Gene’s legacy in the tennis world. As well as some excellent tennis played in the true IC spirit of “Hands across the net, friendship across the ocean,” there were two enjoyable dinners. The last of these was held at The Wellington Equestrian Centre where the largest USA winter show jumping event was taking place. The Bahamas has already been warned by the USA that they intend to recruit a strong team for next year’s return match and Team Bahamas looks forward to that.

Carisa Brogden, 15, star of the day in horse show THE Bahamas’ newest crop of budding junior equestrian athletes were on display in two days of fierce competition at the Mariposa Winter Horse Show, held last weekend at Mariposa Stables in western New Providence. The show marked the third leg of the equestrian horse show season, and dozens of junior riders met to test their skills in varying classes of competition. Classes ranged from the very beginner “Leadline” classes, featuring competitors as young as five years old, to more technically demanding classes in the Jumper and Equitation Divisions. Saturday featured the Equitation classes, which are judged on the elegance and effectiveness of the rider over a series of ‘tests’. Carisa Brogden, aged 15, was the star of the day, riding Mrs Kim Johnson’s Sterling Silver to win the qualifying class of the Bahamas Junior Classic. The Bahamas Junior Classic is a national

event featuring the country’s best junior riders. Qualifier rounds are held throughout the horse show season, and riders must amass 10 or more points in order to qualify for the Classic Final, which this year will be held in March. On Sunday the watching crowd cheered excitedly for the Jumper events, which are based on the ability of horse and rider to clear a course of jumps in the fastest time. “Jumper events, or showjumping, is the Olympic discipline that people may be used to seeing on television,” commented Cathy Ramsingh-Pierre, president of Equestrian Bahamas. “Showjumping is easier for the spectator to follow, because the winner is the one who clears the course in the fastest time, and knocks down the fewest jumps. “In reality, however, a showjumping course is far more difficult to ride. Equitation classes, like the ones held on Saturday,

CARISA BROGDEN and Sterling Silver in the Bahamas Junior Classic. serve as the technical preparation needed for young riders to compete in the Jumper ring. Equestrian Bahamas is committed not only to providing competitive opportunities through horse shows,

but to developing technical excellence in the sport so that our riders can successfully compete abroad.” In Sunday’s Jumper classes, top honours were shared by Carisa

Brogden, on Sterling Silver, and Siena Holowesko, riding Erika Adderley’s Gandolfe. Brogden and Holowesko were co-champions in the Hopeful Jumpers Division. The guest judge of the event was Jill MacRae of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. MacRae is an accomplished rider, coach and judge, having trained horses and riders for many years. She was the team manager and leader for the Canadian Equestrian Team at major international competitions, including past Olympic, Pan Am and World Equestrian Games. MacRae was impressed by the level of riding on display, and at the close of the show encouraged all riders and their trainers to continue their efforts to excellence. The next competition on the Equestrian Bahamas calendar will be held at Camperdown Equestrian Centre February 1112. Admission is free and all are invited.

Bolt resigned to losing relay gold, but not holding grudges MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Usain Bolt says he is resigned to the fact that he’s lost one of his nine Olympic gold medals, but isn’t holding any grudges against drug-tainted Jamaican relay teammate Nesta Carter. Carter has said he will appeal after re-analysis of his sample from the 2008 Beijing Games using more advanced scientific methods returned a positive test to the prohibited stimulant methylhexaneamine. The result announced by the International Olympic Committee last week meant Jamaica was stripped of the 4x100-metre relay gold, one of Bolt’s unprecedented three gold medals at three consecutive Olympics at Beijing, London in 2012 and Rio de Janeiro last year. Bolt and fellow Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell arrived in Melbourne yesterday for a Nitro Athletics meet which begins Saturday. “Initially (I was) disappointed, of course,” Bolt said at Melbourne airport. “But in life, things happen ... I’m not sad, I’m waiting to see if Nesta is going to appeal or whatever,” Bolt added. “So right now I’m just waiting

to see what’s going to happen. But I gave up my medal.” Carter teamed with Bolt on three straight world championship relaywinning teams, from 2011 through 2015. He also took an individual bronze in the 100 in 2013 in Moscow, behind Bolt and Justin Gatlin of the United States. Carter, who did not compete at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics last year, faces a ban from the IAAF. Bolt, Powell and Michael Frater, the fourth member of the relay team which crossed the line in a world record time of 37.1 seconds at the Beijing Games, are all in Melbourne to compete in the Nitro Athletics series. The meet held over three nights will feature six teams of 24 track and field athletes — 12 women and 12 men — from Australia, an international team representing the Bolt All-Stars, China, England, Japan, and New Zealand. Organisers say the team-based competition “combines strength, endurance, power and extreme energy” and includes sprint, distance, field and para-athletic events. The series continues February 9 and 11, also at Melbourne’s Lakeside Stadium.

Russia loses 2012 Olympic silver in women’s 4x400 LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Russia has been stripped of an Olympic silver medal from the women’s 4x400-metre relay at the 2012 London Games for doping. Antonina Krivoshapka tested positive for the anabolic steroid turinabol in reanalysis of samples from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, the IOC said yesterday. Russia previously lost its women’s 4x400 silver from the 2008 Beijing Olympics in a separate doping case. The IOC has yet to decide if medals will be reallocated. Jamaica was third in the London relay, which was won by the United States. Ukraine was fourth. The IOC also disqualified Krivoshapka from her sixth-place finish in the individual 400 in London. Krivoshapka now faces being banned by the IAAF, a move that could threaten

JAMAICA’s 4x100m team members Usain Bolt, left, and Nesta Carter show their gold medals during the Beijing 2008 Olympics August 23. (AP) Former 100-metre world record holder Powell also served a doping ban in 2014 after testing positive to the stimulant oxilofrine, although his sanction was reduced from 18 months to six following a successful appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The IOC announced two more doping cases yesterday, lifting the London total to 40 athletes caught, including 13 from Russia. Russian discus thrower Vera Ganeeva and Turkish boxer Adem Kilicci also tested positive for turinabol, the IOC said. Ganeeva placed 23rd and Kilicci was fifth in the middleweight class.

THE TRIBUNE

Barcelona beats Atletico 2-1 in Copa del Rey semi-finals

JESUS LIGHTS UP CITY WITH GOAL ON 1ST LEAGUE START

By TALES AZZONI AP Sports Writer

LONDON (AP) — Gabriel Jesus marked his full Premier League debut with a goal and an assist as Manchester City’s new-generation attacking machine tore through West Ham in a ruthless 4-0 Premier League victory yesterday. The 19-year-old Brazilian prodigy flaunted his speedy talents to devastating effect against a disjointed West Ham, showing he has quickly adapted to English football by laying on the opener for Kevin De Bruyne and then scoring City’s third. “He helps a lot with the high pressing, he’s so intense, he’s so aggressive,” City manager Pep Guardiola said. “He is able to keep going, to fight against guys who are taller than him.” Only one area needs some work — his discipline — after waving an imaginary card at the referee and being shown the real thing in yellow. Aside from that lapse, he slipped into a thrilling triumvirate up front with 22-year-old Raheem Sterling and 21-yearold Leroy Sane. Guardiola sees them as the “future of the club” and their teammates were also beaming in east London. “They are very sharp, these guys,” De Bruyne said. “They are so quick, it’s almost impossible for us to follow them in the midfield. They have great energy.” Their challenge now is to turn City into title -contenders again, with Guardiola’s side remaining fifth. Eradicating the four-point gap from the Champions League places is the priority, and that’s where experience could count. The 31-year-old midfielder David Silva also netted at the Olympic Stadium and the rout was completed by City’s oldest outfield player in the second half when the 33-year-old Yaya Toure converted a penalty. And the 25-year-old De Bruyne bridges the generations, pulling the strings from midfield and instigating attacks — just as he did for the opener. Setting the tone for an inept performance by 11thplace West Ham, Aaron Creswell’s poor pass on the halfway line allowed De Bruyne to seize possession and launch a counterattack. The Belgium international carried the ball forward

MADRID (AP) — Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi scored two superb first-half goals to guide Barcelona to a 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal yesterday. Suarez scored after a run from almost the halfway line in the seventh minute, and Messi added to the lead with a powerful shot from outside the area in the 33rd. Antoine Griezmann pulled a goal back for Atletico with a 59th-minute header, and the hosts pressured for the rest of the match at a packed Vicente Calderon Stadium. But Barcelona held on for a win that puts it in a good position to reach the Copa final for the fourth straight season after next week’s second leg at Camp Nou. It has won the trophy three times in the last five seasons. Celta Vigo hosts Alaves in the first leg of the other semifinal today. Celta eliminated Real Madrid in the quarterfinals. Barcelona’s first goal came after Griezmann lost possession, allowing Suarez to start his remarkable run. The Uruguay striker brilliantly cleared defender Stefan Savic with one touch to open a clear path toward the goal and outran the other defenders before finding the net with a low strike from inside the area. Messi scored his 11th goal in 12 matches with an unstoppable left-foot drive from just outside the box, hitting a midheight shot that struck the left post before going in. Messi and Suarez each have scored seven goals in nine matches this year. Griezmann kept Atletico alive with his header early in the second half, igniting the crowd at the Vicente Calderon. Three minutes later he almost equalized with a closerange shot that was blocked by Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen on the line. Messi then struck the post from a free kick in the 75th. Neymar is suspended from the return match after being shown a yellow card early in the second half. Atletico will be without veteran defensive midfielder Gabi Fernandez for the same reason. Barcelona played without midfielders Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta because of injuries.

WESTERN CONFERENCE

a career-high 14 assists and the Cleveland Cavaliers, coming off a losing record in January, defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 125-97 on Wednesday night. Cleveland, which went 7-8 last month, began February looking like the defending NBA champions. The Cavaliers held a three-point halftime lead and took control midway through the third quarter. James’ three-point play gave the Cavaliers a 90-70 lead. Cleveland All-Star forward Kevin Love missed his second straight game because of back spasms, but the Cavaliers had five players in double figures in scoring. James was 11 of 14 from the field, and Irving scored 14 points. Kyle Korver, who has struggled since being acquired from Atlanta last month, scored 20 points, going 8 of 11 from the field and hitting four 3-pointers. Tristan Thompson had 18 points and 14 rebounds. Karl-Anthony Towns led Minnesota with 26 points and Andrew Wiggins added 23 for the Timberwolves, who won five of six to finish January. CELTICS 109, RAPTORS 104 BOSTON (AP) — Isaiah Thomas scored 19 of his 44 points in the final quarter to lift the Boston Celtics over the Toronto Raptors in a showdown for first place in the Atlantic Division. It was the fifth straight win for Boston, which moved 1 ½ games ahead of the Raptors in the division and holds the Eastern Conference’s No. 2 seed. Kyle Lowry led Toronto with 32 points, former Celtic Jared Sullinger had 13 and Norman Powell added 12. The Raptors have lost seven of nine. In a final quarter that rivaled playoff intensity, Celtics forward Jaylen Brown was fouled on a breakaway attempt and walked over and had words with Lowry — before a few others player joined in and had to be separated by the officials. Boston’s Terry Rozier and the Raptors’ DeMarre Carroll were each given a technical. HEAT 116, HAWKS 93 MIAMI (AP) — Goran Dragic scored 27 points, Dion Waiters added 20 and the Miami Heat pushed the NBA’s longest current winning streak to nine games by easing past the Atlanta Hawks.

Hassan Whiteside scored 18 points and grabbed 18 rebounds for the Heat, who hadn’t won nine straight since November 2013. James Johnson scored 16 before getting ejected in the fourth quarter for Miami. Kent Bazemore scored 14 and Dennis Schroder scored 12 for the Hawks. Atlanta’s Taurean Prince was ejected midway through the fourth quarter for pulling Whiteside down from behind and being assessed a flagrant-2. James Johnson retaliated in Whiteside’s defense, and was ejected after getting a technical. PISTONS 118, PELICANS 98 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored a career-high 38 points, leading the Detroit Pistons over the New Orleans Pelicans. Tobias Harris added 19 points and Andre Drummond 17 for the Pistons, who ended an eight-game losing streak to New Orleans. Detroit had lost three in a row overall. New Orleans blew a nine-point lead in the third quarter and lost its third straight and fourth in five games. Anthony Davis, who scored a career-high 59 points last February at Detroit, had 31 points and 12 rebounds, while Jrue Holliday added 22 points and 11 assists. KNICKS 95, NETS 90 NEW YORK (AP) — Kristaps Porzingis had 19 points and 12 rebounds, and joined a group of mostly substitutes who led a big fourth-quarter turnaround that carried the New York Knicks over the Brooklyn Nets. Carmelo Anthony had 15 points for the Knicks, but he was on the bench for the entire fourth quarter after shooting 6 for 22 from the field. Instead, the Knicks rallied behind Willy Hernangomez, who had 16 points and 16 rebounds, and Sasha Vujacic, who made team history by converting a pair of four-point plays in the game. The only other starter on the floor for the comeback was Brandon Jennings — and he was only starting because point guard Derrick Rose remained out with a sprained ankle. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 16 for the Nets, who lost their seventh straight and fell to 0-9 against Atlantic Division opponents this season.

through the center of pitch unchallenged before rolling it out to Gabriel Jesus on the right flank. As De Bruyne advanced, Gabriel Jesus squared a pass back to the midfielder who coolly swept a shot into the bottom corner in the 17th minute. On De Bruyne’s 50th Premier League appearance, this was his 11th goal, and he was the creator of City’s second four minutes later. A throughball to Sane allowed the German to dribble in from the left before laying off the cutback for Silva to tap-in. Gabriel Jesus’ shining moment came six minutes before halftime, completing a move that started with more sloppiness from West Ham. Pedro Obiang conceded possession and Sane exploited the carelessness before threading the ball through to Sterling. The England winger picked out Gabriel Jesus to slot home. Few goals will be easier in the Premier League for the 2016 Olympic gold medalist but few teams will roll over as meekly as a West Ham side reeling from the January transfer window departure of Dimitri Payet, its brightest of midfield talents. The loss of one player, however gifted, cannot account for such a capitulation but West Ham was coming up against a Manchester City side attacking with abandon. It was exemplified by high quality passes such as the one De Bruyne threaded through to Sterling in the second half. Sterling couldn’t continue his advance on goal as he was tripped by January recruit Jose Fonte, but Toure did convert from the spot in the 67th minute. On a night when City provided a glimpse of the promising future, Toure and Silva were the only two players in the starting lineup who also started the game that clinched the team’s first Premier League title five years ago. Roberto Mancini, City’s 2012 title-winning manager, was in the east London stands on Wednesday to watch this fresh generation in action under Guardiola’s command. So too was Sergio Aguero, whose stoppage-time goal against Rangers clinched that title, with the 28-year-old striker forced to watch from the bench until replacing Sterling in the 2nd half.

PACERS 98, MAGIC 88 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — C.J. Miles scored 16 points, Glenn Robinson III added 14 and the Indiana Pacers held on to beat the Orlando Magic.
