Bayside Blazers again!

For the Championship game in the open division, the senior Bayside Blazers show that in whatever basketball league they participate in, the team remains a force to be reckoned with.

They defeated some three teams for a clean sweep leading up to the Championship and walked away with the Big Prize of $1200.00 cash.

On Saturday, Bayside Blazers superstar player Killven M. Samuel got injured to the nose and could not play on Sunday, leading to him being replaced by Dwayne M. Stoutt.  The other Bayside Blazers super team players were Tavon J. Phillip, Louie A. R. Poblete, and Nathaniel J. Malone. The team was coach by Eustance C. Freeman aka “Boss.”

Bayside Blazers is owned and managed by Julian Willock and was sponsored by Nagico, Caribbean Cellars, Bank of Asia and Anchor Designs.
