Hoops Shifts Venue, Dreams Stay

Hoops fever hits Guyana as the 19th National School Basketball Festival kicks off with a venue switch — no more Cliff Anderson Sports Hall, now the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue! All dates and schedule stay intact, with the action running June 28 to July 5 under the rallying cry “One Game, One Dream, One Festival.” Opening day features powerhouse matchups like President’s College vs JC Chandisingh and Queen’s College vs Hururu. The Girls and Under-16s hit quarter-finals on June 29, while Under-14s and Under-18s dive into prelims on June 30. All-Star games light up July 3, semi-finals July 4, and championship finals explode on July 5 — starting with Under-14s, then Girls, Under-16s, and Under-18s. Powered by sponsors like Edward B Beharry and G-Boats Guyana, with backing from the Ministry of Education and Culture, Youth and Sport — this is basketball at its most competitive, passionate, and packed with school pride.
