ALCOBENDAS - Moses Tree-Vanne of Belize is the Samsung Shootout champion after getting the better of his three opponents in the Final at the FIBA 3x3 U18 World Championships.

Tree-Vanne had the hot hand as he scored 8 points in the Final, twice as much as the 4 managed by second-place Monika Naczk from Poland.

Lithuania's Justinas Gecas finished third with 3 points and Elisa Penna of Italy rounded out the field.

"It's a great feeling to win this event," Tree-Vanne said afterwards.

"My team-mates were behind me and encouraged me. This was the result of hard work putting up shots."

Tree-Vanne was rewarded for his fine shooting display with a prize of a latest general Samsung digital camera.
