Albert Jackson scored 30 points last week with 15 rebounds in Anastasia's game against Sayago. The final score was 110 to 85.
In the same game, Jackson's teammate Marcus Sikes almost hit 30 points. He fell just short, registering 29 in the contest.
Anastasia will need a whole lot more of the same from Jackson and Sikes to move up the standings in the Uruguayan basketball league. They've been playing .500 basketball so far this season, and that has the team 2 spots from the bottom of the 15-team league.

Marcus Sikes Hits Triple, Forces Overtime
But it was not to be for Anastasia* last night as they lost a heart-breaker to Montevideo.
After being down the entire game, Anastasia tied the game with just 1.5 seconds remaining in overtime. Marcus Sikes was the temporary hero of the game, hitting from long range to knot the contest at 87.
However, in overtime, Montevideo was able to take control. The final score was 108 to 97.
*As readers of the Blog know, Anastasia features former UGA players Marcus Sikes and Ajax (Albert Jackson).

Albert Jackson playing in Uruguay
Albert Jackson has signed to play with the team Anastasia in Uruguay. He arrived at terms with the team back toward the beginning of August and has been scoring and rebounding the ball very well so far.
Anastasia is a team that plays in Tacuarembo, in the north of Uruguay.
For those who want to know, Tacuarembo is a town of just over 50,000. The majority of the population in Uruguay lives in the capital, Montevideo, which is a good distance away from where Jackson is playing. Tacuarembo is closer to southern Brazil.
As it turns out, Albert is on the same team as Marcus Sikes, who played at Georgia before transferring to finish his collegiate career at Cincinnati.
I'll be giving more information later on how Ajax is performing down in Uruguay.
In the meantime, congrats, Ajax!

Marcus Sikes
Former UGA player, Marcus Sikes, has left Brazil. He was playing in the town of Limeira (in the state of Sao Paolo, and famous for its lime trees and sugar cane).
Sikes accepted an offer to go to Cyprus. He is now playing for the team, Omonia Nicosia. Nicosia is the capital and largest city in Cyprus.
Nicosia is sometimes the center of international attention, since the city is split in half into Greek and Turkish sectors. On occasion, skirmishes break out that some worry will bring Greece and Turkey to war.
