‘We have lost a legend’

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net

T

he local sailing community lost one of the most iconic names of the sport when Eleazor Johnson died Wednesday morning. He was 79 years old.

Johnson, affectionately called “Barber J” or “The Sailing Barber”, was nationally renowned for his promotional and organisational prowess, aimed at the development of sloop sailing throughout the Bahamas.

Friends, family, and members of the local sailing community reflected on Johnson’s contributions to the sport.

“Our father was a mentor to so many,” Eleazor Johnson Jr said.

“For me our earliest memories go way back to when he first took me sailing. His influence also got

Whenever he called

me to organise the St Valentine’s Day Regatta, I considered it a privilege to do it. He was often the one that would help to drive me and keep me inspired.”

“Barber J” grew up in Acklins and began his foray into sloop sailing on “The Avenger.” He established his well-known barber shops in the Cordeaux Avenue and Fox Hill areas.

He will perhaps always be most closely associated with the Lady Nathalie and his signature event, the “Catch Me If You Can St Valentine’s Day Massacre” regatta.

The race started in 1987 as a challenge with his Lady Nathalie taking on some of the other boats in friendly competition on Sundays when there wasn’t anything to do from December to April in Montagu Bay and it then developed into a full blown ‘Catch Me

Minor leaguers D’Shawn, Kristian on ‘most underhyped prospect’ list

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net

BAHAMIAN minor league baseball players continue to get recognition from acclaimed media outlets for their projected progression through the league.

Bleacher Report sought out to identify each Major League Baseball team’s “most underhyped prospect” for the upcoming 2019 campaign.

D’Shawn Knowles (Los Angeles Angels) and Kristian Robinson (Arizona Diamondbacks) were both selected to the list for their respective clubs.

Knowles, who celebrated his 18th birthday yesterday, progressed from the Arizona Rookie League to the Pioneer League in just 30 games last season.

“The Bahamas has become a prospect hotbed in recent years with the likes of Kristian Robinson, Jazz Chisholm and Lucius Fox making a name for themselves,” said the Bleacher Report analysis.

“Knowles looks destined to follow the path they’ve forged after hitting .311/.391/.464 with 21 extra-base hits and nine steals in 58 rookie-ball games,” the Bleacher Report analysis said.

“If everything goes right, he has the profile of an everyday centre fielder who hits for a solid average, steals some bases and develops good gap power. The Angels will need to be patient, but he has the tools to prove worth the wait.”

After 30 games in the Arizona League, Knowles received his first promotion within the Los Angeles Angels farm system.

Through 30 games in the AZL, Knowles hit .301 with a .385 OBP, .765 OPS with 14 RBI, 19 runs scored, seven stolen bases and one home run.

He was assigned to the Orem Owlz of the Pioneer League and continued his production for the

With the Owlz, he appeared in 28 games and hit .321 with a .398 OBP, .949 OPS with 15 RBI, 27 runs scored, two stolen bases and four home runs.

Robinson, 18, is one of three Bahamian prospects in the Arizona Diamondbacks organisation alongside Jazz Chisholm and DJ Collie.

“If you’re not familiar with Robinson, get ready to see his

name all over top-100 lists this spring,” the Bleacher Report analysis said. “Making his US debut as a 17-year-old, he hit .279/.363/.428 with 12 doubles, seven home runs and 41 RBI in 57 games spanning two different rookie-ball stops, and he’s just scratching the surface.

“With the potential for 60-grade hit and power tools and the speed to steal double-digit bases and stick in centre field defensively, he looks like a star in the making.

His $2.5 million bonus as part of

the 2017 international class could prove to be the best money the D-backs have ever spent.”

He missed the playoff run with the team he spent the bulk of his rookie season with, but his progression in the Diamondbacks farm system provided a new opportunity late in the season.

In 40 AZL games, he hit .272 with a .754 OPS, .341 OBP, 31 RBI, four home runs, 11 doubles, seven stolen bases and scored 35 runs.

Robinson was then assigned to the Missoula Osprey of the Pioneer League.

With the Ospreys, it took just seven games for Robinson to record the first multi home-run game of his professional career.

In 17 games with the Ospreys he hit .300 with an .886 OPS, .419 OBP, 10 RBI, three home runs, five stolen bases and scored 13 runs.

His promotion to the Ospreys began with a head-to-head matchup against D’Shawn Knowles and the Owlz. Robinson finished 1-4 with one run and one RBI while Knowles was 2-4 with three runs scored in a 7-3 win for the Owlz.

Following the conclusion of training camp in March, Robinson, listed as the No.12 prospect in the Diamondbacks organisation, was invited to extended spring training prior to the regular season. Along with Collie, Robinson helped the AZL D-backs to clinch its first-ever playoff berth in the Arizona Rookie League.

The Pioneer League operates in the Rocky Mountain region and in the past, it also operated in adjoining portions of Canada.

It is classified as a rookie league, and is staffed with mostly first and second year players in a short-season league operating from June to early September.

Robinson is hitting 2.73 through seven games with six hits, seven runs, six RBI, three stolen bases, slugging .591 with a 1.019 OPS.

NPWBA: SAINTS TOP CHEETAHS 70-39, DESTROYERS STOP CONNECTORS 60-44

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE New Providence Women’s Basketball Association’s top seeds were in action Tuesday night with the last undefeated team adding another win and the second place team attempting to keep pace.

Saints – 70 Cheetahs – 39 The Saints improved to 5-2 on the season and remain in second place in the standings. Leandra Armbrister scored a game high 23 points on an efficient 10-14 shooting from the field. Shadell Williams finished with 10 points,

eight rebounds and four steals while Tanica Joseph grabbed a game high 10 rebounds and Vernisha Moss added nine points and seven rebounds.

Amir Thompson was the lone Saints player to reach double figures with 12 points and 10 rebounds while Trenice Comarcho had four points and nine rebounds.

The Cheetahs scored on the opening possession but the Saints quickly took the lead for good and took a 14-9 lead at the end of the first. They took a 10-point lead in the second quarter on a Taniel Poitier layup for a 23-13 lead with 3:31 left in the half. The

Saints limited the Cheetahs to single-digit scoring in both the first (nine) and second (eight) quarters and took a 27-17 lead into the half. They took a 45-28 lead into the fourth quarter and the lead grew to as much as 31 points.

The Saints shot 53 per cent from the field while they limited the Cheetahs to just 20 per cent. They recorded 20 assists on their 29 made field goals. They also outscored the Cheetahs by 10 points in the paint and 20 on bench points.

Bees Trucking Destroyers – 60 Connectors – 44 The league leaders remain undefeated on the season and

improved to 7-0 with another lopsided win.

A balanced scoring effort from the Destroyers was led by Rudy Simms and her 14 points with eight rebounds.

Sherelle Cash had six points and 10 rebounds, Britenique Harrison had eight points and nine rebounds while Ashley Moss had six points and a game high 11 rebounds.

A shorthanded Connectors team got 10 points from both Denisha Dean and Tiffany Wildgoose.

Christine Sinclair finished with nine points and nine rebounds with five assists while Kristenique

Moss had seven points and 10 rebounds. The Destroyers limited the Connectors to just 12 points in the first half. It was a quick 15-8 lead after the first quarter and they allowed just four points in the second half en route to a 26-12 halftime lead.

The Connectors staged a comeback effort in the third when they outscored the Saints 20-8. They opened the quarter on a 12-2 run and a Wildgoose layup brought them within two (28-26).

The Destroyers took a slim 34-32 lead into the fourth but responded with their highest scoring quarter in the fourth (26) to put the game away.

ECASC president leads federations at joint meeting in Colombia BURKET Dorsett, the president of the English Speaking Softball Confederation, led the ECASC federations in a collaborative effort with the federations of Latin America, the Spanish-Speaking Caribbean Canada, the United States and all members of WBSC Americas softball for a joint meeting in Cartagena, Colombia.

Dianne Miller was appointed as secretary general of ECASC to complete the term of former secretary general, the late Greg Christie.

Other appointments included Glenford Murdoro of the British Virgin Islands who was appointed director of umpires and Shomara Penn, also of the BVI, as a statistician in the office of the president working with Paula Stubbs, special assistant to the president.

Discussions were also held on how countries can access the solidarity funds from PASO to assist in their developments of official players, coaches, administration and equipment.

Each federation had a one-on-one meeting with the WBSC to express their needs.

Ted Miller, president of the Bahamas Softball Federation, represented the Bahamas and conveyed their needs to the WBSC. In compliance with the new WBSC softball policy, softball and baseball will merge in several countries.

“We have lost a legend, one who has committed himself to the advancement of sloop sailing in our country. One who has turned sailing around through his promotion throughout the length and breadth of the Bahamas.

“Eleazor went to just about every island and had tremendous relationships with the fathers of sailing. His contribution is prominent in bringing sloop sailing to where it is today and we will celebrate his homegoing. This is a time to highlight the positiveness of his contributions and may his soul rest in peace.”

Warriors rout Nuggets after NBA-record 51 in first quarter

By The Associated Press DENVER (AP) — Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson each scored 31 points as the Golden State Warriors, propelled by an NBA-record, 51-point first quarter, regained the top spot in the Western Conference by routing the Denver Nuggets 142-111 on Tuesday night.

Golden State cruised to a fifth straight win to move a half-game in front of the Nuggets, who had their 12-game home winning streak snapped.

The showdown between the top two teams in the conference proved a little too big for the Nuggets, with Curry and Company putting on a shooting exhibition all night long. The clinic began early with the Warriors erupting for 51 points in the opening quarter, breaking the old mark of 50 held by several teams.

The last time it happened was also against Denver when Phoenix scored 50 on November 10, 1990.

Golden State shot a blistering 60 per cent from the field, had 38 assists and hit 21 3-pointers in leading wire-to-wire. Kevin Durant finished with 27 points and Draymond Green was a plus-41 as he had 13 assists to go with four points.

Malik Beasley finished with 22 points for the Nuggets. Big man Nikola Jokic struggled with early foul trouble, finishing with 17 points and eight assists in 23 minutes.

76ERS 149, TIMBERWOLVES 107 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Embiid had 31 points and 13 rebounds, and Philadelphia scored 83 points in the first half in a thrashing of Minnesota in Jimmy Butler’s first game against his former team.

The Golden State Warriors were the only team to

score more first-half points in a game this season when they dropped 92 on the Chicago Bulls on October 29. The Sixers hit a teamrecord 21 3-pointers and reached their highest point total in the 22-year history of the Wells Fargo Center.

Butler scored 19 points in the first meeting with Minnesota since it sent him to the 76ers in a package deal that brought forwards Robert Covington and Dario Saric in return.

Covington and Saric were popular core pieces of Philadelphia’s Trust the Process rebuild and both received massive ovations from an appreciative crowd in tribute videos.

HAWKS 142, THUNDER 126 ATLANTA (AP) — Trae Young had 24 points and 11 assists to win the showdown of past and former Atlanta point guards, leading the Hawks over Oklahoma City.

Former Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder scored 21 points in his return to Atlanta. Schroder struggled early but had 14 points in the third period when the Thunder outscored the Hawks 41-27 to reclaim the lead.

Atlanta was similarly dominant in the second period, outscoring Oklahoma City 45-30 to match its high mark for any quarter this season. After holding a big lead of 15 points, the last time at 70-55, the Hawks led 70-59 at halftime.

John Collins made 12 of 14 shots from the field and led Atlanta with 26 points.

Alex Len had 24 points and 11 rebounds.

The Hawks were 18 of 37 on 3-pointers.

Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with 31 points and 11 assists. Paul George had 24 points and Jerami Grant added 21.

Eric Bledsoe had 17 points and Malcolm Brogdon added 16 for Milwaukee, which has won 13 of 16 dating to December 14. The Bucks improved to 31-12, second-best in the NBA. Justise Winslow and Hassan Whiteside had 19 points apiece for Miami, which fell to 21-21.

PACERS 131, SUNS 97 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Bojan Bogdanovic scored 20 points in Indiana’s easy victory over Phoenix.

Myles Turner returned for the first time in four games to finish with 18 points and six rebounds.

Turner was nursing a sore right shoulder over the last week.

Indiana got off to a hot start thanks to Bogdanovic, who scored the Pacers’ first 10 points. The Pacers doubled the Suns’ total in the first quarter, leading 38-19 at the end of the period.

Indiana limited Devin Booker to eight points in 26 minutes. Rookie Deandre Ayton finished with 14 points and eight rebounds.

T.J. Warren led Phoenix with 18 points and Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 16 points off the bench.

LAKERS 107, BULLS 100 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lonzo Ball scored 19 points, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 17 and Los Angeles won for just the fourth time since LeBron James’ groin injury, beating reeling Chicago.

Ball, who also had eight rebounds and six assists, scored 13 points during the second half as Los Angeles was able to break open what was a close game for the first 28 minutes.

Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma scored 16 apiece.

The Lakers are 4-7 since James was injured in a December 25 game at Golden State.

Jabari Parker scored 18 points and Lauri Markkanen added 17 for Chicago.

The Bulls have dropped eight straight.

Big flex: Youngsters Tiafoe, Fritz stun seeds in Australia

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Frances Tiafoe rolled up his white shirt’s right sleeve, flexed his biceps and slapped the muscle five times. Then he pounded his chest and yelled, “Yeah! Let’s go!

Let’s go! Come on!”

Forgive the young American’s exuberance. This was, after all, the biggest victory of his nascent career.

Down a set and 3-0 in the second, the 20-year-old Tiafoe came back to stun two-time Grand Slam finalist and No. 5 seed Kevin Anderson of South Africa 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 yesterday in the Australian Open’s second round.

“I went to a different place. I dug insanely deep,” the 39th-ranked Tiafoe said. “It’s all about competing. Guys are so good. It’s just about how badly you want it. I want it real bad.”

He was joined in the third round by another kid from the US who’d never been that far at Melbourne Park, 21-year-old Taylor Fritz, who saved 12 of the 13 break points he faced while dispatching No. 30 seed Gael Monfils of France 6-3, 6-7 (8), 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5).

Next for Fritz is a matchup against Roger Federer, the two-time defending champion in Australia and owner of 20 Grand Slam titles.

“I grew up watching a lot of the guys I play today.

I can’t tell you how many times I watched Monfils’ highlight reel on YouTube, just growing up. ‘Fed,’ obviously, my whole life growing up, he was always the best, winning everything,” Fritz said. “So it’s really cool being able to step on the court with him again.”

A day after American men went 1-5, the country’s contingent produced those two upsets and threw a couple of scares into other seeded players, too, but couldn’t pull off the wins.

Mackenzie McDonald pushed No. 6 Marin Cilic before losing 7-5, 6-7 (9), 6-4, 6-4, and Denis Kudla went to a fifth set before bowing out 6-4, 7-5, 3-6, 6-7 (6), 6-4 against No. 18 Diego Schwartzman. Reilly Opelka, a 21-year-old who eliminated No. 9 John Isner in an all-US firstround showdown, held a 67-2 ace advantage — and a 15-inch (38-centimetre) height advantage — against Thomas Fabbiano but lost to the Italian 6-7 (15), 6-2, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (5).

“This group (of Americans) really deserves the hype, I guess, because I think everyone’s good,” Fritz said.

Cilic was the 2014 US Open champion and the runner-up at Melbourne Park to Federer last year.

Against McDonald, an NCAA champion in singles and doubles at UCLA who is 23 years old and ranked 81st, Cilic delivered 25 aces,

(AP Photo/Andy Brownbill) including on each of the last two points.

“It was a much tougher match than I expected,” Cilic said. “I didn’t know much about him.”

For Tiafoe, it helped that Anderson’s best attribute, his intimidating serve, slowed down along the way because of problems with his right arm. Anderson was repeatedly visited by a trainer during changeovers and he lost pace on his first serves as the match wore on.

Anderson was the runner-up at Wimbledon last year and at the US Open in 2017 and had won all three

previous matchups against Tiafoe.

But Tiafoe ended a sixmatch losing streak against top-10 opponents and is now into the third round at a major for the second time, equalling his best showing.

“These are the matches where they kind of define you and help you feel more and more comfortable to keep winning matches like that,” Tiafoe said. “So, yeah, I’m definitely going to remember this one.”

As for his postmatch flex, Tiafoe said: “I hope the crowd liked it.”

Defeat Andreas Seppi of Italy next, and Tiafoe

would make his debut in the second week of a Grand Slam.

He turns 21 on Sunday and said: “If I’m playing on that day and beat somebody, that’s the best present I can get.”

Federer, seeking a record seventh Australian Open title and third in a row, beat Dan Evans 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3), 6-3, and 2009 champion Rafael Nadal set up a thirdround showdown against 19-year-old Australian Alex de Minaur with a straightset victory of his own.

“I couldn’t pull away early in the match,” said Federer, who actually was

two points from dropping the opening set.

The defending women’s champion, Caroline Wozniacki, also advanced in straight sets, beating Johanna Larsson 6-1, 6-3, and will face Maria Sharapova next. Sharapova, whose five major titles include the 2008 Australian Open, had a 6-2, 6-1 win over Rebecca Peterson in Wednesday’s last match.

Three-time major champion Angelique Kerber moved on with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over qualifier Beatriz Haddad Maia. No. 5 Sloane Stephens opened the day in Rod Laver Arena with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over her junior doubles partner Timea Babos.

Stephens, the 2017 US Open champion, reached the third round of the Australian Open for the first time since 2014. “I’m kind of conquering all the places where I’ve been terrible,” Stephens said.

Four seeded women were sent home, including No. 24 Lesia Tsurenko, a 6-0, 6-2 loser against 17-yearold American Amanda Anisimova.

No. 9 Kiki Bertens, No. 20 Anett Kontaveit and No. 29 Donna Vekic also exited.

Vekic lost 6-4, 4-6, 6-1 to Kimberly Birrell, a 20-yearold Australian ranked 240th who got into the field as a wild card.

“It is so surreal,” Birrell said.“That was just such a blur. I get to play again. It’s crazy.”
