(Week 15) Jakob Poulton

Male Basketball Athlete of the Week
Jakob Poulton – VIU Mariners

He was a sparkplug off the bench in Week 15 in two Island Rivalry showdowns with the Camosun Chargers. On Friday, with starters in foul trouble, Poulton played the entire fourth quarter, scoring six points along with grabbing two rebounds and had two steals as his club’s comeback effort fell short. On Saturday, he was on point as the Mariners flipped Friday’s script. He shot 64% from the field including 50% from beyond the arc as the Mariners rebounded with a 26-point win. In the second quarter, alone he outscored the entire Chargers roster 12-9 as they took a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. In addition to his 17 points on the day, he distributed a game-high six assists and added three rebounds and two steals.
