West Indies Under-19 captain Ramaal Lewis, and Eltham High all-rounder Ramone Francis, were the stars of the show on Tuesday at the annual ISSA/ GraceKennedy Awards ceremony held at the Mona Visitor's Lodge, University of the West Indies.

Lewis was responsible for leading St Elizabeth Technical (STETHS) to the podium on three occasions, after guiding them to the coveted high-school treble of the rural-area Headley Cup, the rural-area knockout, and the all-island Spalding Cup.

He also took to the stage to collect one of the top individual accolades, the Carlton Alexander Award, which is awarded to the player who demonstrates the highest level of sportsmanship, leadership and discipline throughout the season.

His teammate, Kevon Williams, was also among the top awardees after copping the Douglas Orane Shield for outstanding performance and academic excellence. This award has a scholarship value that is tenable at any local university.

Francis, in the meanwhile, was among members of the Eltham team, which collected awards for winning the Under-19 Grace Shield and knockout titles.

He was also the recipient of four personal awards for pocketing the Grace Shield's top all-rounder award, and for scoring three centuries.

The most disciplined team award was won by STETHS, while the top coach prize, which carries with it the Raphael Diaz Trophy and a monetary value of $50,000 went to Clive Ledgister, the coach of STETHS.

Other marquee awards went to Excelsior High (urban-area Under-16 and Under-14 titles); Clarendon College (rural-area and all-island Under-14 titles), and Manchester High (rural-area and all-island Under-16 titles).
