Gee What Happened G?

We had our chances, but truth be known we just didn't know how to take advantage of those opportunities. Heck, we had it down to six in the 4th quarter when we let Freshman, Warren Ward sling two consecutive treys to the glee of his camera toting Dad. Now we are 12 down. Here's how the game went, tied the first quarter, lost the 2nd by 15, won the 3rd by 4 and lost the final stanza by 8. We're almost there, but not quite. Now we have less than three weeks to get there. Playoffs are just around the corner.

The game ended 89-70 in favour of the Ottawa Gee Gees. It was an exciting game with a number of dunks, dunk blocks and long distance shooting. One memorable play was 6'3" Akin Brown blocking 6'8" Dax Dessureault's attempted dunk at the end of the 1st half. Another was Josh Budd's spin dribble in the paint that led to a reverse layin. I am sure the Gee Gees had some highlight reels also, but I can't seem to able to bring them readily forward in my memory bank. Boris had 26 & 9. Josh and N'Krumah both had a dozen. JGB had 23, 6 dimes and 4 steals for the enemy. Ward, the Brampton fella, playing in front of his fam for the first time this season had 18. Dax also had 18.

Scott Belasco, Godfrey Hunte, Duane Quashie and Ricky Gairey were former Rams seen in the crowd of a little over two hundred. My former bone crusher, Dr. David Lee, was also in amongst the masses attending the game. 

Three games to go with Laurentian, York and U of T in that batting order. Then, whether we finish 3rd or 4th we will host a first round playoff game on Wednesday, February 25. 

Big Up to Greg Francis for getting the coaching headship at University of Alberta. My money says he'll do a great job out there. Another product of the GTA in a head coaching position in the CIS. The others: Dave DeVeiro, Ottawa (Harvey); Ross Quackenbush, St. Mary's (Thistletown); Mike Katz, Toronto (Vaughan Road); Keith Vassel, Brandon (Mother Teresa); Glenn Taylor, Ryerson (Brampton Centennial).
