Kevin Davis - RSEQ 1st Team

Our February run came to an end last night. Very disappointing, but proud of how hard our guys played and the resilience they showed throughout the year. There were plenty of opportunities to quit, but they did not relent.

Concordia got off to hot start as they opened the game with a flurry of 3 point shooting…they made 6 in the first quarter. We did defend better as the half progressed, but we never did get into a real rhythm offensively as we shot 35% for the half.  We found ourselves down 9 at the break and it could have been worse.

Abdul Kamane - RSEQ 2nd Team

We came out strong to start the 2^nd half and managed to cut the lead to 3 by the end of the 3^rd Q.  We carried our momentum into the 4^th taking a 4 point lead before a 4 minute scoring drought did us in between the 7:00 and 3:00 minute mark. In recent games we had been able to score at the rim to get back on track. We missed some good shots and had a couple of costly turnovers. Conversely, ConU hit a couple of tough 3’s at the end of the shot clock and that was the difference in the game. Valiant effort, but we were not good enough down the stretch to get the win this night.

Nervens Demosthene led us in scoring with 20 points. The 2^nd year guard stepped up in the game and has the potential to be a very special player. Joany Castor Thadal missed some great looks early in the game, but made shots in the 4^th to bring us back and to keep us within striking distance later in the 4^th. Jo had 17 pts. Abdul Kamane had 11 points and 8 rebounds. Kevin Davis had 9 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists & 3 steals. 4^th year forward Yassin Naji had 8 points and 5 rebounds.

Duncan Lambert - Ken Shields' Award

In other news, the RSEQ League Awards were announced Tuesday. Kevin Davis was named to the RSEQ 1^st All Star team. Abdul Kamane was named to the 2^nd All Star team. Duncan Lambert received the Ken Shields’ Award for Community Leadership, Academics and Athletics. Very nice and deserved honour for one of our graduating captains.
