By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net WHILE there were talks to get all of the leagues back under one umbrella, Freedom Farm founder Greg Burrows said a conscious decision was made to rejoin the Bahamas Baseball Association. The move came after the dismantling of the Bahamas Baseball Federation, an organisation that Burrows helped to form more than two decades ago to provide an alternative to the BBA. “When this move came about to bring all of the leagues back under the BBA, we were the last ones to make a decision, but it was a no brainer for me as the leader to rejoin the BBA,” Burrows told The Tribune over the weekend in Grand Bahama. “We felt that it was in the best interest of the sport to rejoin the BBA, hence Freedom Farm is here to play in the Nationals. Baseball, in my mind, is the fastest and the largest and most successful sport in the country today and so we wanted to ensure that we do our part to further push the sport along.” After skipping the trip to Grand Bahama last year to participate in the Nationals, Freedom Farm returned over the weekend and made their presence felt at the Emera Baseball Complex. They won the 14-andunder division and had teams competing in the final of the 8-and-under, 10-and-under and 12-andunder divisions. The latter three divisions, along with the 16-and-under, were not completed because of the rain. But the BBA made a decision to award Freedom

he visiting Truman State University Bulldogs men’s basketball team out of Missouri was a little too much for the Bahamas’ International Basketball Academy (IBA) Elite to handle at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium last night. While they showed their offensive prowess in a 102-76 victory over the Star Sports Basketball team in the opener of the Bahamas Basketball Federation’s Summer of Thunder on Tuesday night, the Bulldogs turned it up a notch defensively as they stifled the Elite Basketball 90-43. Brodric Thomas, who contributed 14 points, eight steals, six rebounds and two blocked shots for the Bulldogs, said it was good to get another victory against the second straight Bahamian team they faced on their road trip. “It was a big step up from yesterday. We controlled the ball a lot more and I felt like we moved it and put a lot more pressure on them defensively,” Thomas said. “I think that was what got us going today.” Aside from enjoying some vacation in the “sun,” Thomas said they couldn’t ask for some exciting basketball games with good sportsmanship from the local teams they played so far. “The competition is real good. Coming here we didn’t know what to expect,” he said. “I’m really surprised at how well the guys are playing. They have given us some really good competition.” Cade McKnight led the attack for the Bulldogs, coached by Jeff Horner, with 18 points and nine rebounds. Tanner Zeil, the top scorer in the opener, had 14, while Collin Hill finished with 10. Taurin Hughes had just two points, but dished out nine assists. The Bulldogs opened a 22-11 first-quarter lead that they extended to 21 (39-18) at the half. By the end of the third, they were in full control with a 65-31 advantage and they poured it on in the

IBA didn’t have a player in double figures as Dwight Wheatley led the way with nine points and four rebounds. Tevin Hudson, their most experienced player, helped out with six points. Jefferson Oliver had five points and both Malachi McCoy and Shontin Pratt chipped in with four points.

The IBA Elites, a mixture of high school players mainly in grade 10 and 11 and one or two in college, gave it their best shot, but coach Denykco Bowles said he couldn’t ask for anything more. “I think we played very well on defence, but that team shot the ball very well,” he stated. “They had excellent ball movement and

‘College Bound’: HO Nash summer camp in its 19th year By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net COACH Patricia ‘Pattie’ Johnson has been a household name on the local high school scene, instructing many young girls and boys the basic skills of playing sports, particularly basketball and volleyball. Today, she continues to make her contribution through the staging of the HO Nash Summer Camp where the youngsters also

spend time in the classroom as they concentrate on their studies at the same time. Johnson said this year’s camp has taken on a new twist and has been dubbed “College Bound” as they work on developing the skills of the campers for the future. Now into its 19th consecutive year, Johnson said they have seen an influx of campers from both the public and private schools, although the emphasis was in the inner city communities. Johnson, however, stated that whoever comes out to participate, they won’t turn them away because the aim of the camp is to assist as many youngsters as possible. “Every morning after we do our devotions, we take them through the various drills of the sports,” Johnson said. “This week is ball handling as they work on their dribbling, catching and passing. “Also during the morning session, we have classes set up for them to go and do some school work because we feel it’s important for them to get as much learning as possible.” Once they are done at HO Nash, Johnson said around 4pm

She thanked principal Harcourt McCoy for the assistance he has provided in that regard. By the time they are finished at the end of July, Johnson said she hopes that the campers will be well-rounded student-athletes. The camp will close out with the

awards presentation with the assistance from the various sponsors helping her out. For the most part, many of the campers seem to be enjoying themselves and have expressed that they attend the camp on a regular basis because of the valuable lessons that they receive from Johnson on and off the court. “It’s a good programme, I love

the sport of basketball and she’s a great coach,” said Calvanique Spence, a 15-year-old student of St John’s College who has been attending the camp since the age of five. “I’ve learnt the basic skills of basketball, shoot and dribble, just about every skill there is. It’s a great sport to play and I would prefer coach Johnson to work with than any other coach because she’s a great coach who takes her time with you.” Kylah Marshall, another 15-year-old student of St John’s College, said she too has attended the camp for at least 10 years and she has no regrets because it has helped to make her a better person. “I’ve loved how to shoot, dribble and pass the ball, everything that you should be doing with the basketball,” she said. “I think we have a very sincere coach who is willing to help you to achieve all of the goals that you desire.” Since he was five, Collin Storr has made the HO Nash Camp his destination and now at age 17, the 6-foot, 3-inch student of Bahamas

OOPS, TIMES 8: WORLD CUP SETS NEW RECORD FOR OWN-GOALS MOSCOW (AP) — Mexico defender Edson Alvarez’s 74th-minute own-goal against Sweden yesterday was the seventh time at this year’s World Cup that a player has sent the ball into his team’s net — a tournament record — and Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer made it eight on an unlucky bounce. And there are still 20 more matches to be played. As with many of the earlier miscues, Alvarez was trying to clear a cross in the box. But it bounced off of him and inside the left goalpost as ‘keeper Guillermo Ochoa watched helplessly. Sommer found a more creative way to calamity: He scored the tying goal for Costa Rica deep in injury time when Bryan Ruiz’s penalty kick hit the crossbar and ricocheted off the back of his head and into the net, prompting a rueful smile. Mexico lost 3-0 and Switzerland drew 2-2 but Alvarez and Sommer can take heart — Mexico, Switzerland and the host Russians are the only teams so far to make it out of their groups after scoring on themselves.

PORTUGAL WARY OF URUGUAY’S DEFENCE, NOT ONLY SUAREZ, CAVANI By TALES AZZONI AP Sports Writer SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo has scored four goals at this year’s World Cup. Uruguay has conceded none. That’s going to make for an interesting match when Portugal faces the two-time champions on Saturday in the round of 16. Uruguay is best known for its forward line, specifically Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani, but it has thrived defensively both in Russia and in the lead-up to the tournament. It’s the only team at the World Cup yet to allow a goal all year. “We know that in 2018 they haven’t lost any of their six games and didn’t concede any goals,” Portugal right back Cedric Soares said yesterday.

“That is something to pay attention. It’s a team that has quality.” The last time Uruguay allowed a goal was in a 4-2 victory over Bolivia in World Cup qualifying. That match was in October 2017. In Russia, Uruguay won Group A after defeating Egypt and Saudi Arabia 1-0 and the host nation 3-0. The South American team didn’t falter on defence even when regular starting central defender Jose Maria Gimenez couldn’t play against Russia because of a muscle injury. Sebastian Coates played in the middle of the defence against the hosts, but Uruguay’s team doctor said yesterday that Gimenez has a good chance of returning for Saturday’s match in Sochi. He is expected

are optimistic that he will be among those available to play (against Portugal),”

Uruguay doctor Alberto Pan said. Gimenez is a key part of the Uruguayan defence that will try to stop Ronaldo. He and Diego Godin play for Atletico Madrid and know Ronaldo well from their many matches against Real Madrid in Spain. Ronaldo got off to a great start in Russia, scoring a hat trick against Spain and the winner against Morocco, but he struggled in the 1-1 draw against Iran, when he missed a penalty kick. Gimenez and Godin are also important for Uruguay in set pieces. Gimenez scored the late winner against Egypt with a header, and it was Godin who helped disrupt goalkeeper Mohammed Alowais as Suarez got the winning goal against Saudi Arabia. Godin also

was involved in the team’s third goal against Russia, when Cavani took advantage of a rebound following the defender’s close-range header. “We have to know that every play will be dangerous,” Soares said. “We will have to be very focused every time there’s a set piece.” Portugal and Spain finished with five points each in Group B but the Portuguese ended second because if had fewer goals scored. “Our biggest goal so far was to advance from the group stage. Now we can focus on this next game against Uruguay, which we know is a great team,” Soares said. “We are the European champions and we have shown many times that we have quality.”

Who’s in and who’s out at the big dance MOSCOW (AP) — Fourteen teams have secured spots in the knockout stage at the World Cup, leaving just two more up for grabs today and a 1-2 finish to be sorted out in the final group. • Here’s a look at who’s in, who’s out and possible scenarios: GROUP A Uruguay won all three of its group matches and will play Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal. The host Russians won their first two to finish second and will take on Spain. Egypt and Saudi Arabia have been eliminated.

GROUP B Spain and Portugal tied with five points each and had the same plus-one goal differential, but Spain won the group because it scored one more goal over the three matches. Spain’s reward: playing the Russians in Moscow’s main stadium. Portugal will play Uruguay in the round of 16. Morocco and Iran have been eliminated. GROUP C France won the group and will meet Lionel Messi and Argentina to start the knockout stage. Denmark nabbed the second spot and

plays Croatia. Australia and Peru were eliminated. GROUP D Croatia won the group easily and will play Denmark in the round of 16. Second-place Argentina moves on to play France. Nigeria and Iceland were eliminated. GROUP E Brazil took the top spot with a 2-0 win Wednesday over Serbia, which could have advanced with a victory. Brazil will play Mexico in the knockout stage. Switzerland’s 2-2 draw with Costa Rica was

enough to lock up second place and a knockout-stage match with Sweden. Serbia and Costa Rica were eliminated. GROUP F Defending champion Germany staggered out of the tournament Wednesday with a 2-0 loss to South Korea. Sweden beat Mexico 3-0 to win the group and gets Switzerland to start the knockout stage. Mexico backed into the round of 16 courtesy of South Korea’s shocking win over Germany and will next play Brazil. Germany and South Korea were eliminated.

GROUP G Belgium and England meet in Thursday’s late pairings to determine which team wins the group and which finishes second. Tunisia and Panama play the other late game but are out of contention. GROUP H Japan and Senegal lead the group with four points apiece. Colombia has three and would advance if it beats Senegal, and both could go through with a draw if Japan loses. In addition, Poland is out of contention.

‘Dark day for German football’ after World Cup elimination By SAMUEL PETREQUIN AP Sports Writer KAZAN, Russia (AP) — Everyone was waiting for Germany to score another late World Cupsaving goal. It never came. Instead, the Germans have become the fourth defending champions in the last five tournaments to be eliminated in the group stage following a 2-0 loss to South Korea yesterday. The four-time champions allowed a pair of injurytime goals while knowing a 1-0 victory would have been enough to advance because of the result in the other group match. “It’s very, very hard to put it into words,” said Germany defender Mats Hummels, a member of the team that won in Brazil four years ago. “We believed until the end today. Even when it was 0-1, I think we kept trying to turn it all around.” Germany ended up last in Group F while Sweden and Mexico advanced to the round of 16. South Korea was also eliminated despite the victory. It was the first time Germany has been knocked out in the first round since 1938, though the team was not allowed to enter the 1950 tournament. “It’s a dark day for German football,” Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said. Even in Yekaterinburg, nearly 500 miles away, the Mexican fans expected Germany to score. They were still in position to advance despite trailing Sweden, but they were waiting — some with tears in their eyes — for Germany to do the inevitable and ruin their chances of moving on. That’s when South Korea stepped up. Kim Young-gwon scored the first goal in the third minute of injury time, a goal that sent the Koreans cheering in Kazan and the Mexicans delirious in Yekaterinburg. Originally

called out for offside, the goal was given after video review. Son Heung-min made it 2-0 in the sixth minute of stoppage time after Neuer came up the field to help his teammates outside the South Korea box. Son tapped the ball into an empty net after a long pass from Ju Se-jong. Besides Germany this year, France in 2002, Italy in 2010 and Spain in 2014 were the previous defending champions to get eliminated in the group stage. “We deserved to be eliminated,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said. “For us, this is a huge disappointment. But we have young players who are talented and have the potential to go forward. It happened to other nations before. We need to draw the right conclusions.” All four teams in the group had a chance to advance in games that were being played simultaneously, but Sweden’s 3-0 lead over Mexico put Germany in prime position to move on as well -- if the Germans could score against the South Koreans. That was the problem, for Germany. Loew had changed his line-up to mix youth with experience, calling back Hummels, Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil while also fielding Niklas Suele and new Bayern signing Leon Goretzka. Suele made his first World Cup appearance as a replacement for Jerome Boateng. Germany made a nervous start, playing slower than it usually does to avoid being vulnerable on the break. But the strategy did not bring much success in the first half. The Germans kept peppering the South Korea box with harmless crosses and it was their opponents that came close to scoring from a set piece in the 19th minute after Neuer failed to control a 25-metre free kick from Jung Woo-young.

(AP Photo/Lee Jin-man) The Germany keeper bobbled the ball and needed to swipe the rebound away from the attackers after a spectacular dive. The Germans continued at the same pedestrian pace after halftime and Ozil had another poor display, with many of his passes uncompleted. Loew brought on substitutes Mario Gomez and Thomas Mueller on either side of the 60-minute mark but his players kept giving the ball away, with most of their attacking combinations lacking precision and speed. Gomez had a decent header stopped by goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo in

the 68th minute and could not properly connect with a low cross from Joshua Kimmich in the 72nd as Germany’s hopes vanished. “We did not deserve to be winning the title once again,” Loew said. GROUP DYNAMICS Germany ended up last in a group it expected to win. But the team never really seemed to recover from its opening 1-0 loss to Mexico. South Korea lost its opening two matches but still entered the game with a chance to advance. It did its part by beating Germany, but Sweden’s 3-0 victory over Mexico allowed the Swedes to win

the group ahead of the second-place Mexicans. HISTORY Germany had made it to the quarter-finals at the past nine World Cups, and reached at least to the semi-finals at every tournament since 2002. LOEW’S FUTURE Loew, who guided Germany to the title at the 2014 World Cup after a routing host Brazil 7-1 in the semi-finals, said it was too early to talk about his future with the national team. “We need a couple of hours to see things clearly,” Loew said. “The disappointment is deep inside me.”

Brazil tops Serbia 2-0, advances to round of 16 By FRANK GRIFFITHS Associated Press MOSCOW (AP) — Worried no more, Brazil is through at the World Cup. Paulinho and Thiago Silva scored a goal each yesterday to give the five-time champions a 2-0 victory over Serbia and first place in their group. Brazil struggled in its opening two matches, first held to a 1-1 draw and then needing late goals to win the other. But they controlled this one. Paulinho gave his team the lead when he met a lofted ball from Philippe Coutinho in the 36th minute. The defensive midfielder let the ball bounce in front of him near the penalty spot and kicked his right leg in the air to tap it over the goalkeeper’s fingertips. Silva later scored with a powerful header in the 68th from Neymar’s corner. Brazil finished first in Group E and will next face Mexico in the round of 16 on Monday in Samara. Serbia was eliminated, finishing third in the group behind Switzerland. Both of Brazil’s goals came when Serbia threatened to get back into the match. The Serbs nearly scored in the 61st when Brazil goalkeeper Alisson pushed the ball into the path of forward Aleksandar Mitrovic, whose shot bounced off the keeper and was bound for goal before being cleared by Silva. For most of the first half, Brazil couldn’t break through Serbia’s compact back line. But the player that coach Tite calls his “secret weapon” lived up to his name by scoring the first goal at Spartak Stadium. Brazil had an early setback when left back Marcelo was substituted

(AP Photo/Andre Penner) in the 10th minute, limping off the field. Filipe Luis, who is playing at his first World Cup after failing to be selected in 2010 and 2014, was brought on to replace him. The Brazilian soccer confederation later said Marcelo only had a back spasm and was fine. This was a more assured performance from Brazil compared to its first two group matches. There was patient buildup play and the Brazilians sometimes rested in possession, exchanging

short passes in their own half to slow down play. Brazil did what it had to do to win, making sure it wasn’t the second big team to exit the tournament after 2014 champion Germany was knocked out by South Korea. GROUP DYNAMICS Brazil needed only a draw to advance, while Serbia needed to stop Neymar and go for the win. The victory was good for first place. Switzerland also advanced

after a 2-2 draw with Costa Rica and will next face Sweden on Tuesday in St Petersburg. KEY TO SUCCESS Silva popped up just at the right time for Brazil, and not only in defence. Mitrovic’s shot had gone behind Alisson and was heading toward goal, but Silva got there in time to clear it away. He then jumped above Serbia’s defence from a corner for Brazil’s second goal.

NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia (AP) — Switzerland is through to a knockout game against Sweden at the World Cup. Half of its starting defence isn’t. Switzerland qualified second in Group E behind Brazil despite twice losing the lead in a 2-2 draw with Costa Rica last night. The riveting game culminated with an injury-time penalty from Costa Rica captain Bryan Ruiz that hit the crossbar and went in off Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer’s head. Despite the late drama, a draw was enough to send Switzerland through to the knockout stage. But the bad news for the Swiss: Yellow cards for captain Stephan Lichtsteiner and fellow defender Fabian Schaer — their second of the tournament — meant they’ll be suspended for the Sweden match in St Petersburg. Their absence leaves two gaping holes to be filled at the back as Switzerland chases a place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time since 1954. Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic’s gamble to play the two key defenders while they were already on yellow cards backfired in a game where the team only needed a draw to progress. As it turned out, Switzerland could have lost to already-eliminated Costa Rica and still gone through because Brazil beat Serbia 2-0.

SWEDEN DOMINATES MEXICO 3-0, BUT BOTH HEAD TO KNOCKOUT ROUND By KYLE HIGHTOWER AP Sports Writer YEKATERINBURG, Russia (AP) — Sweden was so dominant against Mexico at the World Cup that the best Mexican plays of the night were made 600 miles away by South Koreans. The Swedes rolled to a 3-0 rout yesterday, never challenged in the second half, overtaking Mexico to win Group F just four nights after a gut-wrenching lastminute loss to Germany. The result, combined with South Korea’s 2-0 upset of the Germans, meant Sweden and Mexico — the group runner-up — advanced. The defending champions from Germany go home early. Sweden makes its first appearance in the knockout stage since 2006. Mexico plays in the round of 16 for the seventh straight World Cup, with its fans desperate for its first quarter-final appearance in 32 years — the elusive “quinto partido,” or fifth game. Sweden didn’t want to focus on getting revenge by helping eliminate Germany, which got some favourable calls in a tense 2-1 victory over the Swedes on Saturday night. “We grew another little bit,” Sweden coach Janne Andersson said. “I am not going to sit here and gloat having won a match or boast about a win. We don’t want to stir things up too much.” Ludwig Augustinsson volleyed a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa from close range five minutes into the second half, and captain Andreas Granqvist converted a penalty kick to help Sweden take control. Mexico’s Edson Alvarez had an own goal in the 74th minute to put the game out of reach at 3-0.

IN THE NBA: ADAM SILVER GETS 5-YEAR EXTENSION

NEW York Yankees’ Luis Severino pitches during the fourth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum)

By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has received a five-year contract extension, a reward for accomplishments that include rapid growth in the value of franchises and attendance records around the league being set annually. Board of Governors Chairman Larry Tanenbaum of the Toronto Raptors announced the deal, one that keeps Silver under contract through the 2024 NBA Finals. Financial terms were not disclosed. Silver, 56, led a very smooth series of negotiations with the NBA players union on the way to a new collective bargaining agreement in 2016 — one where salaries around the league soared thanks to a $24.1 billion, nine-year television and media rights deal that he helped strike with Disney and Turner Sports two years earlier.

SEVERINO EARNS 12TH WIN AS YANKEES BEAT PHILLIES 6-0 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Luis Severino became the majors’ first 12-game winner, Aaron Hicks and Didi Gregorius homered and the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 Tuesday night. Severino (12-2) struck out nine in seven dominant innings, lowering his ERA to 2.10. The ace has allowed three runs or less in 16 of 17 starts.

LOUIS (AP) — Matt Carpenter homered twice, matched a career best with five hits and helped chase Corey Kluber in the shortest start of the righthander’s career. Carpenter scored a career-best five runs and also drove in three. Kluber (11-4) allowed six runs in 1 2/3 innings and has lost two of his past three decisions. He gave up six hits, including homers to Carpenter and Jose Martinez, and walked one on 48 pitches. RED SOX 9, ANGELS 1 BOSTON (AP) - Mookie Betts homered on John Lamb’s first pitch of the game, and J.D. Martinez hit his major league-leading 24th home run to back

David Price’s six strong innings. Jackie Bradley Jr. had four RBIs and three hits, including a home run, and Christian Vazquez also homered to help Boston win for the fourth time in its last five games.

PADRES 3, RANGERS 2 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Wil Myers and Hunter Renfroe hit runscoring doubles in San Diego’s three-run eighth inning, helping the Padres rally for a win over the Rangers. Shin-Soo Choo singled with two outs in the ninth to extend his major leagueleading streak of reaching base to 39 games before Brad Hand got Nomar Mazara to fly out with two runners on for his 22nd save. Four of six San Diego hitters reached against Jake Diekman (1-1). After Myers ended the Texas shutout, Christian Villanueva lifted a tying sacrifice fly to left before Renfroe’s go-ahead liner. ATHLETICS 9, TIGERS 7 DETROIT (AP) — Jed Lowrie drove in the tiebreaking run in the top of the ninth inning for a second straight game, and the Athletics rallied from six runs down to hand the Tigers their seventh straight loss.

Detroit led 6-0 after three innings, but Oakland came back to tie it at 7-all in the seventh. Lowrie singled home Matt Joyce in the ninth for his fourth hit of the night. Joyce doubled off Shane Greene (2-5) to lead off the ninth. Lowrie also came in to score an insurance run on a single by pinch-hitter Dustin Fowler. ASTROS 7, BLUE JAYS 0 HOUSTON (AP) — Charlie Morton struck out 13 in seven stellar innings, Jake Marisnick hit a threerun homer in the eighth after preserving the shutout with a big defensive play in the sixth.

Marisnick padded the lead with his shot to left field with one out in the eighth. Alex Bregman, who tied a career-high with four hits, added a two-run homer. MARINERS 3, ORIOLES 2 BALTIMORE (AP) — Kyle Seager homered and hit a pivotal two-run single in the eighth inning to back a fine pitching performance by James Paxton and help the Mariners beat the Orioles. Paxton (7-2) struck out 10 over seven innings, allowing two runs and six hits. Seattle trailed 2-1 before rallying against the weary Baltimore bullpen. Dee Gordon led off the eighth with a double and Jean Segura got his third hit of the game on a bunt down the third-base line. Orioles reliever Darren O’Day (0-2) hurt himself trying to field the ball and was replaced by Tanner Scott, who walked Mitch Haniger before Seager hit a liner to center.

push. I expect that we will get better. It was just good for them to see this level of competition and what they have to work on.” Bowles said whenever they play again in August, he anticipates that they will have a much better showing. The BBF has adjusted the schedule and will allow Truman State to take the day off to relax and enjoy themselves before they return on Friday night to play their final game in the series against the New Providence Basketball Association’s All Stars at 7pm.

EL SEGUNDO, California (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers have extended a $5.6 million qualifying offer to forward Julius Randle, making him a restricted free agent. The Lakers made the move yesterday, ensuring they can match any offer sheet from another team signed by Randle starting on July 8. The 23-year-old Randle is coming off his best season with the Lakers, who chose him with the seventh overall pick in 2014. He averaged a career-high 16.1 points with 8.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists while playing in all 82 games. But the Lakers hope to be a major player in free agency next month, so it’s unclear whether they will retain Randle. They might need to renounce Randle’s rights or otherwise move him to clear salary cap space for two superstars.

‘College Bound’: HO Nash summer camp in 19th year FROM PAGE 1 Elite Sports Academy has developed to the point that he has been invited to attend a tournament in California. “The camp has taught me some life skills, manners and respect and that has stuck with me,” he said. “This has helped me to become a better person and I know it’s done the same for others because I have seen the change in them.” Storr, who will be heading to California on July 9 for the tournament, said he hopes that he can see many more players develop their skills so that they can be recognised.

The other gold medals went to the Junior Baseball League of Nassau in the 10-and-under and Grand Bahama in the 16-and-under. Grand Bahama also outright won the 18-and-under gold. Burrows, whose Freedom Farm dominated the competition the last time they played two years ago, said they intend to hold the BBA’s feet to the fire and will be watching them carefully how they move the sport forward. “I don’t see no reason for us to revert to forming another body as we did when we formed the federation,” he pointed out. “All of the principals now have to be adults and the ego that a lot of us, including me, are set aside for the management of the association. “More of our fight is at the league level where we want to have bragging rights as to which organisation is the best. But I think all of the leaders of these

One of those campers is Jumu Miller. This is just the first year that the 13-yearold graduate of HO Nash has attended the camp. But she likes what she has seen and is encouraging others to get involved. “It’s been a lot of fun so far and I’m enjoying myself,” said Miller, who played under coach Johnson for the HO Nash junior girls’ basketball team. “Coach J works you hard, but I want to be able to leave my name here as one of those players who made a difference.” So far, coach Johnson has made an impact on so many youngsters and she continues to do so year after year with the staging of the summer camp.

leagues want to see the sport go forward and that is why we are all here today. “Our presentation of our kids have been stellar and if that is the only separation, then that is pretty good. But as far as the management of the association, they have to now prove to us as leaders that they can handle the affairs of the sport at the top.” Don’t look for another split, but Burrows said he and the other leaders who had formed the federation will be ensuring that the sport is properly governed. “We have all come together for the good of the sport and we hope that when the election is called and we are all given a chance to cast our vote that we will be able to put a cohesive team in place that will comprise of all of the leagues that are actively involved in the sport,” he stated. “This can’t be a family thing. If you want a family thing, then start your own thing. This has to be nationally based and so we expect that the entire country will be involved in the decision making process as executives whenever the elections are held.” As one of the architects, Burrows said they will

also be watching to see how quickly the Bahamas Government will move on completing the new national baseball stadium that was started under Deputy Prime Minister Philip ‘Brave’ Davis and the Progressive Liberal Party before the Free National Movement took over. “There is a lot of opportunity for us to take this sport to a much higher level and this government and the BBA can do a lot with that when that stadium is completed,” Burrows stated. “Somebody said how we are going to pay for the stadium, but I want to say that the baseball games are not supposed to pay for the stadium. “In my mind, we have a responsibility as a country to develop these facilities for our young people to develop their skills.” Looking at the talent that was on display over the weekend in Grand Bahama, Burrows said it’s incumbent on the government to provide the venue for the players to be able to enhance their skills as they advance from the junior to the senior ranks and ultimately join the more than 20 players in the professional ranks.

DAY 4: ANDY MURRAY BEATEN BY FELLOW BRITON EDMUND AT EASTBOURNE EASTBOURNE, England (AP) — Andy Murray remains well below his best with Wimbledon less than a week away. The 31-year-old Scot lost 6-4, 6-4 to second-seeded Kyle Edmund in an allBritish clash in the second round of the Eastbourne International yesterday. It was Murray’s second defeat in three matches since his return from longterm hip problems that sidelined him for almost a year. Edmund, who took over as Britain’s No. 1 while Murray was injured, broke serve and then saved three break points to take the opening set. The 23-year-old righthander then broke again to seize a 3-2 lead in the second set at the end of a grueling 15-minute game when Murray double-faulted. Edmund broke once more to leave him serving for the match and, although Murray broke back, it merely delayed the inevitable.

The quarter-finals will pit Edmund against Kazahkstan’s Mikhail Kukushkin, who saved seven break points to beat sixth-seeded David Ferrer 6-2, 6-0. Top-seeded Diego Schwartzman was upset by Lukas Lacko, who triumphed 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 to claim the biggest win of his career. The Slovakian next faces wild card Cameron Norrie, who beat fellow Briton Jay Clarke 6-4, 6-3. Other seeds to crash out were Steve Johnson of the United States and Argentine Leonardo Mayer. Third-seeded Denis Shapovalov progressed after the Canadian teenager hit 11 aces to beat Jared Donaldson of the United States 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. Fourth-seeded Marco Cecchinato of Italy recorded the first grasscourt win of his career, 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 against 2015 finalist Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan. In the women’s draw, topseeded Caroline Wozniacki reached the quarter-finals

by beating Johanna Konta 4-6, 6-1, 6-3. Konta had not dropped a set against Wozniacki in their two previous meetings at the 2017 Australian Open and the final of last year’s Miami Open. Konta broke the world No. 2 in the opening game before the British No. 1 responded to dropping her own serve by breaking again to go 4-3 up and eventually taking the set. But Wozniacki responded impressively by racing through the next two sets and sealed victory with an ace on her second match point. The Danish player next faces eighth-seeded Ashleigh Barty. Second-seeded Karolina Pliskova made light work of No. 14 Barbora Strycova, dispatching her fellow Czech 6-3, 6-4. The defending champion next plays Aryna Sabalenka after the Belarusian beat Elise Mertens. Fourth-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany beat Danielle Collins of
