Golden Arrowhead squads set to fly high in Santo Domingo on August 1
GEORGETOWN, Guyana – July 28, 2026 – The Guyana Basketball Federation has officially confirmed the men’s and women’s 3×3 basketball rosters set to represent the Golden Arrowhead at the prestigious XXV Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games. The highly anticipated tournament tips off on Saturday, August 1, 2026, at the Malecón Deportivo in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Team Guyana will field two determined squads, each brimming with local talent and international experience, as they gear up to challenge some of the region’s most formidable basketball nations.
The Women’s Squad – Pool D
The Guyana Women are ready to make their mark in Pool D, where they face a stern test against Caribbean rivals Jamaica and hosts Dominican Republic. The roster features a dynamic mix of athleticism and basketball IQ:
– Ruth Adams
– Anaya Clemons
– DeAngelique Waithe
– Jamaicy Ogle
The Men’s Squad – Pool A
The Men’s team will fly the flag in Pool A, going head-to-head with Puerto Rico and Haiti in what promises to be a physical and fast-paced group-stage battle. The selected quartet includes:
– Travis Burnett
– Akil Hughes
– Nikkoli Smith
– Christian Hinckson
GBF Technical Director said, “We have been putting in the work behind the scenes, and these athletes have shown tremendous commitment. The 3×3 format is unforgiving; it requires speed, endurance, and sharp decision-making. We know Puerto Rico and Haiti are tough opponents, but we are coming to Santo Domingo to compete and put Guyana on the map. The goal is to advance from our pool and make noise in the knockout rounds.”
Similarly to the men, the women expressed confidence in their unit, highlighting the balanced dynamic of the four-woman roster. With a blend of veteran presence and youthful energy, we are eager to upset the odds against Jamaica and the host nation, who will have the advantage of a partisan crowd.
The XXV CAC Games represents a crucial milestone for Guyana’s basketball development, offering invaluable exposure against high-caliber opposition. Both teams are scheduled to take the court at the Malecón Deportivo, a premier beachfront sports complex that will serve as the battleground for the region’s best 3×3 players.
As the countdown to August 1 continues, the Guyana Basketball Federation is calling on all Guyanese at home and across the diaspora to rally behind the teams. The Golden Arrowhead will be flying high, and the nation’s support will serve as the ultimate sixth man.
