Freshmen Freakout

A couple of Freshmen brought their "A" Game to Kerr Hall on Saturday night in a win against the Laurentian Voyageurs, 104-83. First off, the Northern Transplant, starting point guard Josh Budd (Timmins) had a solid night with 7 boards, 6 assists, 3 steals and 9 pts in only 19 minutes of play due to foul trouble. Secondly, in a classic display of herky, jerky, stop and go moves that had the opposition falling all over him Afeworki Gebrekerestos (Ottawa) dropped a career high 21 pts to go with 5 rebs and 3 thefts. Not to be outdone sophomore Chris Blouin (Ottawa) threw down his first dunk of the season as he put together a solid night's work on the frontline. Also having some fun out there was junior co-captain Ryan McNeilly (Thornhill) with 12 pts, 4 dimes and 7 boards. At one point in his game high 38 minutes he took control on three consecutive possessions dribbling the ball up court against considerable pressure. At 9-10 FT senior Joey Imbrogno (Toronto) was almost perfect from the charity stripe, which helped him top out at 15 pts to go with 6 rebs and 3 blocks. As has come to be expected Boris Bakovic (Toronto) potted 35, including 14-15 free throws, and 9 boards. Two of those free throws came as a result of a shoulder tackle enroute to what would have been a breakaway slam. A very dangerous play and we held our collective breath as we tried to fathom WHY. 

Third game in a row were scored over the century mark. How long will this trend last?

Hey, I want to give a big shout out to Molly Sebastian and her son Joseph who came and attended the game. During the week Molly and I are work colleagues and her coming out to support the team is a tremendous testament to her belief in my monologue. By the way, good shot Joseph (he won a prize during half time festivities).
