Mavericks beat the Spurs for ESHS bragging rights!
As part of the Exam requirements, the 12 ESHS Students planned, developed and executed the tournament featuring basketball teams from the 4th and 5th Forms, with Tournament Director, Shoniqua Fahie very pleased with the way the event unfolded.
She had received great support from her hard working team, including Mia Francis, Secretary; Donneisha George, Asst. Sec; Akia Periera, first aid; Tyrel Pringles, equipment manager; Nakisha Bell, scorer; Rafael Savoury, clock man; Deraun Noel, referee; Jared Lewis, referee and Kevin Vanterpool and Llewelyn Dasent who kept the stats.
The hardest job of all was carried out by Khalisha Hodge, who took on the roles of reporter and photographer.
