ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Pulling off back to back shock victories, the Senior Boys team from Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS) have reached the final of the Ivanna Eudora Kean High School (IEKHS) Basketball Tournament, but are still awaiting their opponent for the Championship game, which will be streamed live, today, Sunday February 22, 2015.

On Friday the ESHS Boys overcame Antilles High School, from St Thomas, 49-34, using a 16 to nil third quarter run to put the game to bed after being 23-21 down at the half way point.

The Virgin Islands Bench rotation proved the key as they outscored their opponents 21-10 in crucial passages of play.

A big upset in the IEKHS high school basketball tournament then followed as the Rams defeated the home team, IEKHS, 53-44.

Jacoy Walwyn led the way with 17points, Akeem Nibbs with 10 points and Eral Penn, who notched a big double with 10 points 12 rebounds and 5 blocks.

ESHS defeated St Peter and Paul 62-31 to go to 3-0, on the back of 12 points and 4 blocks from Walwyn, 10 points from Eral Penn and 8 each from Nibbs and Vedal Penn.

The ESHS Rams then defeated Charlotte Amarlie High School, 47-46, to go 4-0 and advance to the IEKHS high school tournament final.

“I must say I’m proud to be an ESHS rams right now. BVI Proud… you guys don’t understand where this team came from a few weeks ago, hard work paying off,” commented Coach, Steve E. Parillon.

    Turn up the USVI the real way E.S.H.S!!!!! Our youth will prosper once we encourage them and hold them accountable academically and socially. Instead of feeding the political inferno, let's throw our support behind our next generation and let them know that the entire territory is looking at them - being hopeful.

    That's good news. But was just informed that none of the power teams was in tournament. Really no gratification in beating a bunch of turkey teams.

    there were decent teams there. Too much one on one play and not listening to coach is what got them blown out.
