Lamontagne has done a lot for the Basketballers in St.Lucia for the past years he has been president. Its great to see that everyone is seeing that and kept their trust in him.

Congrats to Lamontagne. Here is an issue i have with the sport of Basketball and a lot of other sports. Why only 9 affiliated members through out the country when almost every community and secondary school has a court where the sport could be practiced and played. It is so sad that we have competitions among the schools and there are no Basketball clubs in the communities out there to pick them up so they can continue to playing and be part of the national federation. With the number of facilities available every district on the island should have a basketball club affilliated to the national federation. It is a shame on the adults in the communities that this is not done. The federation has its role to assist but the responsibilities lies with the organisations in the communities who have failed the youth. It's crying shame in stlucia that when sportmen and athletes leave secondary school there a few sporting organisations in the communities who pick them up and bring them up to another level. We in the communities have failed our youth and we continue to blame them for societies ills when we have nothing to cater for their energies. What a shame in stlucia
