MONTEGO BAY, St James – GRANVILLE Jaguars and Boys Club Warriors will take a one-game lead into Saturday’s second game of the best-of-three semi-finals in the Western Basketball Association’s Men’s Invitational League, against Cricket Club Knights and Catherine Hall All-Stars, respectively, at Montego Bay Cricket Club.

After the first games were rained out last Saturday, fourth-ranked Granville Jaguars beat number one-ranked Cricket Club Knights 71-65 on Sunday while third-ranked Boys Club Warriors got by second-ranked Catherine Hall 73-64 that same day.
