Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, February 6, 2023 – After securing the Champion title for the Inter-High Football Championships two years in a row, the Marjorie Basden High School (MBHS) are Inter-High Girls Softball Champions.
The two-day Championship weekend took place in Grand Turk, the home of last year’s champions from January 26-27, 2024. In the semi-finals, the HJ Robinson High School (HJRHS) defeated the British West Indies Collegiate (BWIC) to advance to finals with an edge of 16 – 15. In an extremely competitive semi-final, Marjorie Basden High School came out victorious over last year’s second-place team the Wesley Methodist School (WM).
The energy at the Parade Grounds, was unmatched as the long-lasting rivalry between MBHS and HJRHS was fuelled in the Championship game.
The Marjorie Basden Lady Knights came out victorious over last year’s champions with a seemingly easy win 13 – 4. Equally as entertaining, the Wesley Methodist School displayed their dominance against the British West Indies Spartans, scoring 12 runs while BWIC scored zero.
