Last Sunday, saw two Round Six matches in the Lucozade Sport Men's Basketball Championship continue; the thrills and excitement that this competition is knowing for was not lacking either.

In the first game, the Granville Wolfpack took their high powered offense to the Railway Tigers with hopes of avenging their first round loss to these very opponents. Wolfpack have been idle for some three weeks due to Boys Club Warriors suspension and the resumption of the All-Island Parish League which is running simultaneously. Tigers on the other hand, still smarting from their Round Five loss to Vipers, they wanted to get off to a better start.

The first quarter was very close and Tigers took a slim 13-12 lead. In the second term, the both teams continued their great shooting accuracy but Tigers still held to a 23-20 lead at halftime.

The game changed in third quarter, Granville became vulnerable couldn't make inroads on the deficit, in fact, Railway were very aggressive offensively and superb on defense. Dominating in the paint they outscore their opponents 18-4 and extending their lead to 41-24 going to the final quarter.

Wolfpack wasn't about to roller over and play dead in doing so they picked up their scoring in the last quarter, but couldn’t make up any of the deficit. Kevin "Caddy" Morrison led his team with 15 points and nine rebounds.

For the victors, Tammy Davis top scored for the Tigers with 17 points and 17 boards his third double-double of the season. Point Guard Anthony Christie made 16 points.

Wolfpack will hope to rebound today when they face the winless Innercity Jnr. Avalanche at 6pm. On the other hand, Railway Tigers will be inactive for a week.
