Learn From Your Mistakes. NOT!!



Carleton came into Dodge last night and it was a slaughter at the KH Gym. The Rams started out strong with Josh Budd hitting a couple of big shots - now if he would just hit the books with that kind of determination. Boris Bakovic got in on the act early joining Budd with a basket of his own, but if truth be known it wasn't a clean one with the ball bouncing around the rim b4 going in. Maybe if it had gone in clean Boris would have got the vibe he needed on this night. Josh ended up with 14 points and Boris had 23 after that the crew dropped off considerably. Stuart Turnbull had 23 for the Ravens and the much improved post, Kevin McCleery had 18 & 9 boards. 

Over three hundred at the game. Our biggest turnout of the year. Sorry to disappoint. We were in sync and playing modestly well, as our 14 turnovers indicate. The problem was that that was not good enough against this opponent. It was like taking a Ford Focus and racing it against a Lamborghini. The Focus can do everything right and it still is not going to win the race. We're definitely going to have to retune in time for the playoffs. Actually, it would probably be good to retune for tonight as we take on the #3 ranked Ottawa Gee Gees. Pfft, done. More to come on that. 

Akin Brown, 6'3", F, Brampton made his Ryerson debut. As a matter of fact it was his all time debut period, as he had never played post secondary ball. He muscled in for 5 pts, 1 steal, 1 bound and 17 minutes of solid defense.... Brandon Krupa, 2004-2008 was honoured on Seniors Night for his contributions to the program as a co-captain and solid combo guard with exceptional perimeter shooting skills. His parents Ed & Bev (same last name) were there as they were everytime over Brandon's four year career. Some of his former teammates also showed including Pete Crack, Sanel, Geoff Proctor, Duane Benjamin and  Brady.... Thanks to high school coaches Branko Samsa, Mel Stein & Brian French for coming out to the game and bringing some of their star players.  

Big Up to B Lo who I understand had some bad heart palpitations  the other day. Bill hope you are feeling better. Probably a good thing you weren't at this game. Yes you are right Hell does not freeze over.
