New champions Regulators rout Cybots 100-81 for title

t was a dominant performance over the course of the last three games of the series as the Mr Ship It Regulators unseated the twotime defending champions to take the New Providence Basketball Association Division I title.

The Regulators closed out the best-of-seven series with a 100-81 win over the Mail Boat Cybots in game six at the AF Adderley Gymnasium last night.

The Regulators were led by Brian Bain who had a game-high 27 points and seven rebounds.

Four Regulators reached double figures - Gameliel Rose had 23 points and eight rebounds, Eugene had 19 points and eight rebounds and Miguel Mackey finished with 13 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.

Livingston Munnins had 23 points and a game-high 18 rebounds to lead the Cybots.

Lerecus Armbrister scored 18 points, Ernest Saunders scored 17 and Delvonne Duncombe added 10 points and eight rebounds.

After the Cybots took an early 2-1 lead in the series, the Regulators won the final three games of the series by an average margin of 18 points per game.

After an early 4-0 lead, the game was tied early at four and once again at eight within the first two minutes. Brian Bain drilled a three from the wing and on the following trip upcourt Mackey made a layup to give the Regulators a 13-8 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The Regulators broke the game

open in the second with a timely 6-0 run to go ahead by double figures. After Munnings scored the first basket of the quarter, the Regulators followed with a jumper from Mackey, layups from Rose and Missick and another score from Mackey to take a 21-10 lead with under seven minutes left in the half. Armbrister stopped the run for the Cybots with his jumper. The Regulators pushed the lead back to 10 when Patrick Brice made the second of two free throws to make the score 28-18 at the 3:38 mark. After a Munnings score, Brice would make a three-pointer to maintain the double figures advantage. Bain would score the next four for the Regulators and Brice just beat the buzzer with a layup for a 3723 lead at the half.

Cruz Simon and Armbrister traded three-pointers on the opening possessions of the third but the Regulators were able to stretch the lead to 19 on a Brian Bain jumper for a 48-29 advantage. The Regulators maintained a double-digit lead for the most of the period until Armbrister made a pair of free throws with less than one minute left to play to trim the deficit, 60-52. Mackey and Brian Bain scored the last four points of the quarter to give their team a 64-52 lead into the fourth.

The lead hovered in the 8-12 point range for much of the fourth quarter. Armbrister’s three-pointers trimmed it to just six with under seven minutes left to play but Mackey responded immediately with a three-point play. The Cybots would come within six again when Darrio Seymour made a pair at the line but the Regulators responded with a

In game two, the Regulators scored four points in the final 1:30 to surge ahead for the 78-77 win and Mackey’s jumper with 34 seconds left to play proved to be the go-ahead score. The Cybots were unable to convert on their final possessions and regain the lead in the final seconds.

Game three came down to a

last-second thriller.

Armbrister made just two field goals all game but his floater just beat the buzzer at the end of regulation and lifted the Cybots to an 84-83 win and a 2-1 series lead.

The Regulators would close it out by winning the final three games of the series in dominant fashion.

In game four, they took a 9674 behind the frontcourt duo of Rose and Bain.

The pair was again a force in the paint for the Regulators and sparked the 101-88 win in game five.

BUDDY Hield ended the Sacramento Kings’ first season in the Golden 1 Centre by giving the fanbase a glimpse of what the franchise can expect from the rising star.

Hield set a new career high scoring mark for the third time in a Kings uniform, on a night where he received his second KIA NBA Rookie of the Month award and one the franchise dedicated to fan appreciation.

Hield scored 30 points in the his team’s 129-104 win over the Phoenix Suns in the Kings’ home finale of the 2016-17 season. He shot 12-20 from the field, including 4-8 from threepoint range. He improved to 9th all time in three pointers made by a rookie with 146 heading into tonight’s matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Hield scored 15 of his 30 in the fourth quarter. “We just wanted to go out with a huge impression, something to look forward to next season. The energy felt real good, like opening night again,” he said, “I just can’t wait to work this summer and get better, get to know the guys better, the coaching staff, so we can all connect.”

Kings coach Dave Joerger addressed the growth in Hield’s game during the second half of the season.

“What Buddy is going to learn is to pick and choose his spots. To compare and contrast [on one possession you saw him] come down no pass look for your own shot – and he can make tough shots – versus one where he fakes the pass, fake shot, pops out, rescreens and he pops out again and drills a catch and shoot three where his feet are set. Most pros shoot alot better without the dribble,” he said. “That’s just a glimpse of how experience can help him as he gets better and better and these guys are helping him to get to those opportunities.”

Hield, the former No.6 pick of the New Orleans Pelicans, was one of the principals in a trade, packaged along with Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, a future 2017 firstround and second-round pick to Sacramento in exchange for All-Star centre DeMarcus Cousins and Omri Casspi in February.

The rookie guard has garnered national attention for his overall improvement since being traded to the Kings.

Since joining his new franchise, Hield’s field goal percentage increased from 39 per cent to 47 per cent and his three-point percentage in-

BTC CARIFTA Swimming Championships this weekend

By RENALDO DORSETT Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE Bahamas hopes to regain its CARIFTA Swimming title as the country hosts the top junior swimmers from around the region this weekend.

The 2017 BTC CARIFTA Swim Championships take place April 15-18 at the Betty Kelly Kenning Aquatic Centre.

The Bahamas will field a 36-member team for the event, which will feature hundreds of athletes representing 26 countries.

The swimming competition will start at 9am on Saturday (April 15) and continue with the evening session 6pm daily at the aforementioned venue.

The open water segment, cov-

ering a 5-kilometre course, will be held on Long Wharf Beach at 8am on Wednesday, April 19.

Travano McPhee will coach the team along with Jorge Rodriquez.

During team preparation last month, McPhee told The Tribune that a well-balanced squad should performed inspired before the home crowd.

“The strength all across the board will see us filling all of the gaps that we had last year,” he said. “This is definitely a stronger team than we had last year.”

McPhee highlighted the Higgs sisters (Albury and Lilly), who will lead the girls’ 15-17, Izaak Bastian and Alec Sands in the boys’ division, Rachel Lundy and Nigel Forbes in the girls and boys 11-12 and Anya MacPhail and DeVante Carey in the 13-14 categories.

The Bahamas has been one of the top teams at the CARIFTA level with consistent finishes over the past few editions.

At the 2016 event in Fort-deFrance, Martinique, the Bahamas finished in second place, just 21.5 points behind the winners.

Guadeloupe rebounded from a fifth place finish in 2015 to win this year’s meet with 796 points while the Bahamas was second with 774.5 points. Host country Martinique was third with 586.5 points, Barbados was fourth with 538.5 points and Trinidad and Tobago finished fifth with 437.5 points.

The last time the Bahamas hosted was in 2012 when they finished second with 657 points and 49 medals.

At the 2013 meet in Kingston, Jamaica, the Bahamas finished

fifth in the team scoring with 509 points and was sixth in the medal count with 29, including eight gold, 10 silver and 11 bronze.

In 2014, the Bahamas topped the standings for the first time in Savaneta, Aruba.

The 36-member team finished with a total of 736.50 points and 55 medals, including 23 gold, 22 silver and 10 bronze.

In 2015, the Bahamas won the meet again with a total of 756.50 points, more than 100 points ahead of the host team Barbados, who was second with 642.50 points.

Trinidad and Tobago finished third with 494.50 points, Guadeloupe was fourth with 478 points, while Jamaica rounded out the top five with 456 points.

The Bahamas claimed 54 medals en route to the win, includ-

ing 29 gold, 17 silver and eight bronze.

CARIFTA swimming began as its own event in 1989 organised by the Amateur Swimming Associations.

Due to the lack of 50 metre facilities in the region, CARIFTA ranged from a meet in yards to short course to 50 metre in the early beginnings.

During this time a decision was made that the meet should be alternated between countries in the north and south of the Caribbean. In 1985 the inaugural meet was held in the 20-yard pool at the Ursuline Convent in Barbados. The Championship was broadened to include disciplines of water polo and synchronised swimming beginning in 2002.

Open water swimming was added 2014.

Freedom Baptist Academy Warriors are honoured for outstanding performances

By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net IT was a day of celebrations for the Freedom Baptist Academy Warriors as their sporting teams were honoured for their outstanding performances this year.

At a special ceremony yesterday outside of their campus in Palmdale, their primary boys and girls and junior and senior girls basketball teams were recognised for their achievements in the Father Marcian Peters Basketball Tournament, Akhepran Academy Basketball Jamboree, Bahamas Scholastic Athletic Association and the HOYTES Geneva Rutherford Basketball Classic in Grand Bahama.

Their volleyball teams and several track and field athletes were also highlighted during the assembly that had motivator Wayne Johnson as its special guest speaker.

In his address, Johnson encouraged the students to be the best that they can be and try to find their own identity. He added that he hopes to see some more Buddy Hield coming out of the school in the future.

Among the success of the Warriors this year were the following: • Akpheran Tournament primary boys champions • BSAA junior girls basketball champions •BSAA senior girls basketball champions • BSAA primary boys basketball runners-up • HOYTES Geneva Rutherford senior girls runners-up Principal Talcina Major said the student athletes made her very proud.

“I think the performances of the kids were very good,” she said. “I would like to thank the public who sponsored all of the boys and girls during the season, especially for the trip to Grand Bahama.

“We are looking forward to coming back next year and doing the same thing again.”

Senior girls’ coach Tabethia Major said they had a very good season.

“I felt that in Freeport, we could have done better. When they play the level teams, they play harder, but when they play the harder teams, they play lower than their ability,” she said.

“But overall this year, the junior girls did an excellent job and the senior girls played very well in our first year in that division.”

Norleen Henfield reiterated the sentiments of Major in expressing her gratitude to the players for their performances.

“We knew that they could do better, but overall, we came out with some good performances from the primary boys, junior girls and senior girls.

“Overall, Freedom Baptist had a very good basketball season this year and we are going on again to come back with more championships in the primary boys and girls and junior and senior girls.”

Josiah Major, coach of the primary boys’ team, was just as elated as his female counterparts.

“At the beginning of the season, a lot of our guys were injured and after we had Hurricane Matthew, we didn’t have the full team in place,” he said.

“But the boys did well. We won our opening game. That was the first time we did that since we had a primary team. So I just want to thank God for what we were able to do. I’m really passionate about what I do with them.

I want them to develop their character and their skills in the sport of basketball.”

In over the 30 games they played during the year, Major said he couldn’t ask for a better effort from all of the players, not just the boys, but also the girls.

At least two of the girls expressed their delight in being a part of their team’s success.

Aaliya Henfield, the most valuable player (MVP) of both the junior and senior girls teams, came from Carlton E Francis Primary School where she played on their basketball team.

“At Freedom Academy, I got better, I got to control the ball more and I got a lot more confidence in myself,” she said. “I want to thank my coaches for helping me and pushing me further in academics.”

The eighth grader said she had some of the best teammates ever to play with.

“We may row or whatever, but we still worked together as a team and played smart ball,” she said. “I want to thank my teammates for helping us as well to play as well as we did.”

And Kevonne McClausky, an 11th grader, said she expected a lot more from their senior girls’ team.

“We played good, but I know we could do much better,” she stated. “I have faith in them that they can do better. Hopefully next year we will win all of the championships we play in.”

BUDDY HIELD SCORES CAREER HIGH 3O IN WIN OVER SUNS FROM PAGE 1 creased from 37 per cent to 42 per cent. He has also seen an increase in playing more time at nearly 10 more minutes per game.

According to bballbreakdown. com, a further look at the analytics suggest increased opportunities have led to his produc-

tivity: “During his time with the Pelicans, Hield’s 28.9 touches per game ranked ninth amongst rookies (below such illustrious names as Isaiah Whitehead and Wade Baldwin IV). In Sacramento he’s nearly doubled that number to 41.9 touches per game.”

Prior to the trade, Hield had a scoring high of 21 points in 57 games with the Pelicans this season. He has since equalled or sur-

passed that mark four times since being traded to the Kings.

With the Pelicans, he originally scored 21 points in a 102-95 January win over the Indiana Pacers.

As a member of the Kings, Hield finished with 21 points in the Kings’ 116-98 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on March 22.

Two days later he set a then career high in scoring with 22 points in a 114-100 loss to the Golden

State Warriors.

He then tied that career high on April 1 with 22 points in his team’s 123-117 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Kings.com writer Benedict Tagle charted Hield’s shooting progress since joining the Kings through advanced analytics.

“Taking a look at advanced statistics, his numbers become even more impressive. His effective

field goal percentage is 59.7 per cent and his true shooting percentage is an astronomical 62.3 per cent. His baskets are coming at approximately an equal ratio of assisted and unassisted attempts.

Exactly 49.5 per cent of his made field goals are assisted, while 50.5 per cent come unassisted. The uncertainty of how to defend the rookie guard is leading to open baskets.”

Ronaldo landmark as Madrid wins 2-1, ends Bayern record run

By CIARAN FAHEY Associated Press MUNICH (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice for Real Madrid to beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final yesterday, ending the German side’s tournament record of 16 straight wins at home.

Ronaldo’s second-half goals saw him become the first player to score 100 goals in European club competition. The Portuguese star ensured Madrid came from behind — after Arturo Vidal’s 25th-minute header for Bayern — to put the defending champions on course to reach the semifinals for a seventh successive year. The second leg takes place in Madrid on Tuesday.

“We are still alive,” said Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti after losing to his former side.

Also yesterday, Antoine Griezmann converted a first-half penalty for Atletico Madrid to beat Leicester 1-0 at home, and Borussia

Dortmund lost 3-2 at home to Monaco in the quarterfinal that was rescheduled from Tuesday, when three explosions targeted the German team’s bus.

Bayern was without club top-scorer Robert Lewandowski after he failed to recover from a knock to his right shoulder. But it had not been beaten at home in the competition since April 2014, when it lost 4-0 to Ancelotti’s Madrid in the semi-finals. Madrid went on to win the title.

Ancelotti’s successor at Madrid, Zinedine Zidane, is bidding to become the first coach to lead a side to back-to-back titles in the Champions League era.

“We suffered here but all-in-all it’s not easy to play here. They have a great team and great players,” Zidane said. “We needed patience to decide the match.

I think it’s a good result for us. The key was patience.”

Bayern forced several corners early on and the sixth finally paid off when Vidal headed home through Keylor Navas’ fingers.

REAL Madrid’s Sergio Ramos, right, celebrates with his teammates yesterday after their side’s 2nd goal during the Champions League quarter-final first leg soccer match against FC Bayern Munich.

(Andreas Gebert/dpa via AP) Madrid displayed none of the initiative shown by Bayern in the first half. While Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, David Alaba and Thiago Alcantara were running and forcing the game, the visitors appeared static, waiting for chances to present themselves. They weren’t forthcoming.

Bayern should have been

2-0 up at the break, but Vidal sent his penalty well over the bar after Dani Carvajal was adjudged to have handled the ball. The Madrid defender was booked though TV replays showed Ribery’s shot had hit his upper body.

“It happens in football.

It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last,” Ancelotti

said of the missed penalty, calling it one of the “small details” which decided the game.

Ronaldo scored two minutes after the break with one touch to Carvajal’s cross. It ensured Madrid extended its Spanish record of scoring in 53 consecutive games.

Zidane had evidently

made good use of the interval as Madrid appeared a different side in the second half. Bayern was dealt a blow with a half-hour to play when Javi Martinez was sent off with two yellow cards within three minutes for fouls on Ronaldo.

“The sending off was the turning point,” Bayern captain Philipp Lahm said.

But Madrid had already forced the home side back.

Navas had little to do and Manuel Neuer was by far the busier ‘keeper. “Their goalkeeper saved lots of chances. A lot,” Zidane said of Germany’s top ‘keeper.

Marco Asensio’s introduction for Gareth Bale also invigorated the visitors.

Neuer denied Karim Benzema, then Ronaldo from point blank, but he couldn’t stop the ball from squirming between his legs from Ronaldo’s shot after Asensio crossed in the 77th to give Madrid the clear advantage.

It could have been worse for Bayern — Sergio Ramos had a goal ruled out late for offside.
