Leading the way again was team Captain Nashorn Maynard. He was also the tournament’s MVP. Dario Esdaille was the recipient of a plaque for the most assists for the tournament.
This was a very successful tournament for the Championship SKN team which won all three of their games.
The National team was ably managed by Wendell Pemberton. Head Coach John Spezia and Assistant coaches Sheldon Pemberton and Dalton Esdaille must be commended for their tireless work over the past six months in adequately preparing this team for the said tournament.
The SKNABA also wishes to thank the Government of St Kitts and Nevis and the St Kitts and Nevis Olympic Committee for making this trip possible.
We look forward to defending our Championship in 2024.
