He was supported by Joeel Baptiste, who contributed 14 points and 7 steals before fouling out in the final quarter. On Wednesday, the Golden Knights narrowly edged out the Titans 12-11 in the Under-16 Division, despite an incredible defensive effort from the Titans’ Aaden Dennie, who recorded 15 steals. Thursday’s action, which followed rain delays earlier in the week, featured an Under-12 thriller between the Grinches and the Seagulls.
