highest among all scorers but it was all in vain as he ended on
the losing side. The winners had Jayvon Gilbert and Sherman
Clement with 11 and 10 points respectively as their leading
scorers.
Josh Noel the coach of Grenada was still not satisfied despite
the win. “This team can perform much better than playing for 5th
place. We had good starts in all our games and at some point
after playing hard they tend to relax and allow the other teams
to catch up. When this happens the blame game set it and our
entire game plan just goes through the door.
Coach Olsen Joseph of Antigua did not hide his disappointment
“We were our own worst enemy committing too many errors service
errors in particular and that caused us to lose momentum.
Meanwhile the opponents were racking up points. Although we
played a much better game overall it was too much to overcome in
the end”, he claimed. |
