St George's College will face Herbert Morrison in the Under-19 final at 5 p.m., while defending champions Ardenne meet Jamaica College in the Under-16 final set for 3 p.m., as the ISSA/KFC all-island schoolboy basketball champions will be decided at the National Stadium courts today.

In the Under-16 category, Ardenne got the better of Kingston College, 56-48, to book their place in the final, and Jamaica College defeated the St George's juniors, 67-57.

The Under-19 finalists had contrasting wins in Tuesday's semi-finals. While Herbert Morrison slipped by Wolmer's, 71-69, at the Montego Bay Cricket Club, St George's devastated Cornwall, 104-51, at the National Stadium court.

North Street team

Odane Cranston led the North Street team with 22 points and 17 rebounds and Stefano Leslie had 21 points 11 rebounds in a game which was decided after the first period with St George's leading 31-7 at the end of the first quarter, before going on to lead 56-19 by half-time.

Adolex Grant top scored for Cornwall with 19 points.

"The guys really want this title. It has been a while since we have won the national championship at the Under-19 level," said St George's coach, Clifford Brown.

"We are looking to break that trend and I think the guys came out and executed well and we are looking forward to the final," Brown added.

Western Conference

However, having already seen off the better of two more fancied Southern Conference opponents this season, Herbert Morrison, who finished third in the Western Conference, will not be short on confidence.

"We have confidence. Remember we beat Ardenne and they are the Southern Conference champions, so the guys are really pumped up for this final," said Herbert Morrison's coach, Dave Black.

"We will be a bit affected I think not being on our home floor but it is the final, we will put that behind us and come out with all guns blazing," he added.

In Tuesday's encounter Jamoy Richardson and Jervis Hamilton both had 18 points for the St James school and they are expected to lead the charge for the title.
