Two wins and a perfect start was how Kid Rock Blazers began their hunt but Retrieve Raiders and Victory Valley Royals had mixed fortunes when the Kevin Joseph Under-23 basketball competition began last weekend at the Retrieve Community Hard Court.
The next day, Retrieve Raiders scored a 42-37 win against the Kings behind 26 points by Neil Marks (Jr.) as Shamar Savoury contributed 13 and Jamal Semple with 12 points was the top scorer for the Kings.
Kid Rock Blazers then won for the second time beating Victory Valley Royals 51-48 with Jennis Benjamin getting a game-high 23 points and Leon Benjamin and Tieshawn Kitt each netting 10 points.
