Philipsburg, St. Maarten — March 24, 2025 — 3×3 St. Maarten is proud to announce that Team Philipsburg will be representing the island at the prestigious One Guyana 3×3 Quest, taking place on April 5th and 6th in Georgetown, Guyana.
The One Guyana 3×3 Quest is a new, yet premier basketball event in the region, bringing together 20 top teams from across the Caribbean and Americas, as well as elite teams from Europe to compete for international ranking points and the coveted qualification to a World Tour event – the highest level of 3×3 competition. The 2025 World Tour event allocated to this Quest is the Edmonton Master in Edmonton, Canada. This appearance marks another key milestone in 3×3 St. Maarten’s mission to grow the sport and showcase local talent on major stages.
Team Philipsburg, consisting of Dajour Boasman, Franklyn Carty, Kofi Hamilton and Miguel Morgan will compete against some of the best teams in the region, and zone (Americas) aiming to make a statement and continue building St. Maarten’s presence on the international 3×3 basketball scene.
“Our players have been putting in the work both on and off the court for this moment,” said Paul Bell, President of 3×3 St. Maarten. “This tournament represents another incredible opportunity to gain exposure, compete at a high level, and represent St. Maarten with pride. FIBA 3×3 basketball provides smaller countries with the opportunity to compete on larger stages – stages that we otherwise would not have the chance to play on. We’re excited to see our very own compete with heart and determination.”
The players are equally excited and motivated to step onto the court and represent their island:
“When it’s all said and done, I want the world to know that there is talent throughout the entire Caribbean, and Sint Maarten to be exact. I’m grateful to 3×3 St. Maarten for selecting me and putting their faith and trust in me to lead this team”, said Kofi Hamilton.
Miguel Morgan echoed the excitement and purpose behind the team’s mission: “This is more than just a tournament – it’s a chance to show what St. Maarten is capable of. It’s an honor to be apart of Team Philipsburg, representing St. Maarten at this tournament. Moreover, we hope to build a bridge of opportunity in 3×3 basketball and help lay a foundation so that others can showcase the talent of our island.”
