ARAWAK BRAVES SECRET WEAPON. SHANE WORRELL

He joined the team when he was about sixteen years old. A young boy form the remote district of Indian Ground which has the amazing site of a phone booth in the middle of a pasture were the cows lime. He played for Braves in the Tang Tournament  and was always a person of little words it appeared. It was said that he was a footballer who played basketball but he joined the senior team the next season.

He not only joined the basketball team to play ball but he also accepted various post in the executive over the years. he was always very dependable and never turned down any position offered or task given.

His importance to the basketball team was something that has evolved over time. I never realize that when players fail to perform at various positions i would instinctively put Shane to play until the team settled back down.  He has become a utility player. He has played form the center position to point guard. When he can’t make a game i feel out of sorts. I once asked him if he is always in that quiet mood and told me emphatically no that he will speak when there is reason to. Whenever i have asked him for an opinion he has never fail to give me a well thoughtout response. What i enjoy most though is his defence on court. Over the last three years he has surprised me with the types of block shots he is able to execute.  I have seen him block balls from some very imposible positions.

He is very highly respected by everyone in the team especially by the younger players. They always speak highly of him and he tends to get the best out of them.

Shane is now about to graduate to another important phase of his life. I have no doubt that he will do a wonderfull job and i know it will demand a vast amount of his time and attention.

I would like to use this forum at this time to say thanks for your support over the years.  You will never know how much help, joy and encouragement you have gaven me and the team. These memories will always be with me for as long as i live.  Good luck to you and yours as you start on your lifes journey. God bless.

DAMIAN BOVELL AND DEMARIO PRESCOD TO LEAD BRAVES U21

Damian Bovell is the Captain of the Arawak braves Basketball team and Demario Prescod is his deputy. They were elected by the team on Tuesday 22nd July 2008.

Damian is currently playing in the division three team where he is performing very well. Check his stats in the “roster ” in the bball section of the website.  His leadership skills were seen very early. He leads from among and is always willing to help players who are struggling.  He is very approachable.  He enjoys playing bball and gets very depress when issues occur that have a negative impact on a player or the team.  He is among the top performers in the senior team. 

Demario Prescod is also playing in the senior team and his basketball is improving with every game. He is a very vocal and outspoken person who will call a spade a spade. When you get to know him thought you would find that he is a very organized person who will listen to you and would take advice. he would tell you that he is not a runner.  He normally work well with Damian and is very keen on playing U21. He is looking forward to more playing time i suppose.

He has the opportunity to assist in leading a fairly good looking team and i hope they are up to the challenge.  I WISH THEM ALL THE BEST.

A HURRICANE TIP.

In this season of high winds and fload threats it is a good idea to look after your lawns.  NEVER FAIL TO KEEP YOUR LAWN MOWED. Avoid regret.
