ALL-STAR FIVE
Despite the disappointment of missing out on the CentroBasket Championships, Jamaica left with something to celebrate as point-guard Tiffany Reynolds was named in the tournament's All-Star Five team.
Reynolds was one of the team's brightest performers as she averaged 17.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game, leading the Jamaican team in all three statistics.
The tournament's MVP Anisha George of the US Virgin Islands, the Bahamas' Valerie Nesbitt and the Guyanese pair of Amisha Ramlall and Joy Brown completed the All-Stars Five.
As of the tournament's results, the US Virgin Islands, Bahamas and Guyana will join Mexico, El Salvador, and Nicaragua who have already secured their place in the the CentroBasket Championships.
