Great pics! Just wondering though, how is it that Carapichaima East Secondary won the Big five in the championship division and didn’t feature in one pic, but teams that they beat are highlighted more than once?
Simple. We selected based on quality of the shots. We just did not get anything from the Carapichaima game to rival these photos. For instance, we have Diego Martin North in here. That’s not to say they were one of the best schools this year. It was just a great photo.
“A mysterious Malick Secondary playmaker (right)–his name was incorrectly written as Shaquille Mayers on the team list”
Is Christmas, Wired868! Why allyuh trying to stir up trouble? That apart, a tasteful reminder of a season that had few high points really – except at the end where a certain college with a reputation for fairplay managed to keep its place in the top flight in spite of the best efforts of the now bitterly disappointed CIC crew at Wired868. Hahaha!
Thanks for the stories, guys. Not forgetting the gals.
