It was a team effort so to
speak.
Godwin got an unselfish assist pass from Jimmy for the buzzer beating
two pointer that lifted Ochoi to a 28-27 victory over Zorro in the championship
game of the 2007 Jailhouse Rock 3-on-3 basketball tournament yesterday
May 7 at the Koror jail.
This match was supposed to be played last Friday May 4 in celebration
of senior citizens day but due to the rains it had been moved to
yesterday.
Ochois other players were Nioch, Jayson, Iyar and Liverio.
Earlier on Thursday May 3, Ochoi advanced to the championship match via
technicality despite losing the semifinal game against Bloes.
The Bloes won that game, 31-19, but Ochoi protested the former for fielding
ineligible players.
Also on May 3, Zorro outlasted Blue Corner, 27-23, in overtime in their
semifinal encounter.
Zorro recovered from a 4-7 first half deficit and forced the game into
overtime with the regulation scored ended at 21-21.
Then, Zorro limited Blue Corner to just two points while scoring six for
the win.
PNOC, though its outreach program, helped organized the tournament.
Vice President and Justice Minister Elias Camsek Chin showed up to award
the championship trophy.
Meanwhile, the inmates donated $50 dollars for the senior citizens.
