The island’s premier basketball team, the San Pedro Tiger Sharks, extended their winning streak after securing their fifth victory in the Belize Premier Basketball League (BPBL) on June 14th. In a tightly contested match, the Tiger Sharks edged out the Western Ballaz with a final score of 80-75.
The game proved to be a tough test for the Tiger Sharks, who faced one of the strongest teams in the tournament. The island team struggled to gain momentum early on and could not close the gap in the first quarter. By halftime, the Western Ballaz held a 40-32 lead.
However, the Tiger Sharks mounted a strong comeback in the second half. Led by Keon Rowland and Malik Hunt, San Pedro intensified their offensive efforts and began to break through the Ballaz’s defense. The team evened the score in the third quarter and pulled ahead in the final minutes of the fourth.
Despite a resilient effort from the Western Ballaz, the Tiger Sharks held on to their lead and sealed the win in one of the most intense matches of the BPBL season. San Pedro emerged victorious at the final buzzer, maintaining their undefeated record with a hard-fought 80-75 triumph.
