ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Rashid Cann’s 21 points led the BVI to a 71-63 win over St. Vincent and the Grenadines, despite a late onslaught by the Vincy, which had the hearts fluttering in the last match of group play at the XXI CBC Championships being held in the Bahamas.

Strong first and third quarters were enough to give the BVI Team a sufficient cushion to withstand the late onslaught from the Vincy in the 4th when they were outscored by 11 points to reduce the arrears from 19 at the end of the third quarter.

The BVI got off to a flyer in the 1st quarter leading by 22-13 and held onto lead 36-26 at the half. A strong 3rd saw the lead increase to 58 – 39 before the Vincy scored 24 points in the 4th to leave the BVI clinging on to win by 12 points.

Rashid Cann played 31 minutes and scored 21 points along with 4 steals and 2 rebounds. Kennedy Bass was on court for 32 minutes and scored 15 with 2 steals and 7 rebounds. Norville Carey scored 12 and Randy “Chino” George added 9 as the BVI hit 50% of 2 point efforts, 77% of free throws and out rebounded their opponents 32 -25.

In today’s semifinals, the BVI will face USVI with the other semi final being the Jamaica against the Bahamas. The USVI beat Jamaica 86-61 in their last group match to secure top spot in group A.
