Weekes smashes three-point record

Less than a month after Humroy Wright of Anjo’s Wholesale created history by scoring 24 three-pointers in a single game, Kennedy’s Lincoln Weekes proved that records are meant to be broken as the youngster scored a staggering 27 three-point bombers on Wednesday night. This occured in the Cool and Smooth Antigua and Barbuda Basketball Association (ABBA) Business league.
Weekes, who netted 8 three-pointers in the first half, left JSC in a frenzy making it rain in the second half with a remarkable 19 threes.

Kennedys also etched their name into the history books as the team recorded the highest points ever in a single game winning the match, 141-35 against Rackaman Cleaners.
