The PACWEST are pleased to announce the Athletes of the Week following the 2018 basketball championships last weekend.
Female Basketball Athlete of the Week
Carmelle M’Bikata – Capilano Blues
She was virtually unstoppable helping the Blues to a PACWEST gold medal and their first berth in the CCAA National Championship since 2011. She dropped in a game high 26 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in the gold medal game against the Camosun Chargers. The day before in the semi-final she broke a 57-57 tie at the free throw line knocking down one out of two in the final 20 seconds. Just moments later she blocked a shot at the final buzzer propelling the Blues into the gold medal game.
Male Basketball Athlete of the Week
Grant Campbell – Douglas Royals
He made his final PACWEST game a memorable one helping the Royals secure a gold medal for the first time since 2008. In the title game the fifth year senior led the charge with 24 points, four rebounds, five assists and four steals putting his team on his back despite playing in his third game in three days. Over the course of the championship he tallied 59 points, 19 rebounds, 15 assists and nine steals.
