Bay City Lions 65 Trelawny Tornadoes 63
The Trelawny Tornadoes traveled to face the Bay City lions on Friday in their Men's Basketball League match up. They were looking to continue their fine form that saw them pick up two victories in their last three matches. While the Lions are healing after a snarling 62-45 defeat last week at the hands of the City Knights. Lions were hoping to turn things around at home in this one and did just that after holding on for the thrilling two point win.

In the first term it was the visiting Tornadoes who made the most of their scoring opportunities taking a 13-9 lead. Lions’ shooting slightly improved in the second term, but the Tornadoes extended their lead thanks in part to a superior rebounding edge. Leading by 3 at halftime (23-20), the Tornadoes slowed down in the third while the Lions exploded for 18 points, on 13 made field goals to creep within two points (40-38).

Lions took the lead midway the final term for the first time and never relinquished the advantage. Tornadoes gave a good fight down to the wire, but the Lions were too strong making 27 points while hampering the Tornadoes to only 23 points.

For the home side Lions, veteran Don Cameron proved that he still got it when he top scored with 20 points, while Floyd Dixon added 15 points, 8 rebounds and three assists. Christopher Sterling rounded out the scorers with 10 points, 7 rebounds and two blocked-shots.

Tornadoes' Huntley Dehaney was in fine form despite the loss with a 16 points, 17 rebounds double-double effort. Orville Ennis added 15 points and 3 rebounds.

Both Lions and Tornadoes are locked on six points, two behind league leaders City Knights with eight, while the Marchtown Spartans are trailing with four.
