    Told you how Tortola always trying to cheat. If league is from 9-13 why not leave it that way. Why add one 14 year old per team. Just make another league 14-16.

    Only four teams, that's very laughable. There should be more done for the youth. Also did someone declare this guy mister basketball of Tortola? He didn't even represent our national team and the players that did can't get nay support for their programs, don't figure.
