Clement Howell High School are Double TCISS Inter-High Boys Basketball Champions 2023/24
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, February 6, 2024 – Two years in a row, the Clement Howell High School (CHHS) have dominated the TCISS Inter-High Boys Basketball Championships, losing zero games all season. The Championship weekend took place February 2-3, 2024.
The season lasted four months starting in November, splitting thirteen schools into Groups A and B.
The Semi-final 1 saw Clement Howell High School (CHHS) Eagles meet the British West Indies Collegiate (BWIC) Spartans for the first time this season as they were in separate groups. The Eagles flew to a 40-point lead by the end of the game, winning 94 – 54. In Semi-final 2, HJ Robinson High School (HJRHS) Stallions also met the Wesley Methodist School for the first time this season, winning the game 62 – 46.
Leading up to the semi-finals, the Stingrays had only lost one game which was to the Eagles. The Stallions had also remained undefeated all season until they finally faced CHHS. This tumultuous game resulted in a blowout in CHHS’ favour 103 – 62.
The third-place playoff game between WM Stingrays and BWIC Spartans was arguably the game of the night. This game went into double overtime, with BWIC edging over the Stingrays in the result of 82 – 80.
All teams fought to the finish, wearing their school’s name with pride. We look forward to next year’s Championships where all teams will have CHHS on their sights to dethrone.
