Men's Basketball Rewind

Capilano Blues 79
Douglas Royals 69

It was a crazy Friday night tilt between the Blues and Royals that the visitors eventually won. 

The quarter-by-quarter scoring was very strange.  The Blues won the first quarter 19-8, the Royals the second frame 26-9, before the Blues won the third 30-23 and then the final frame 21-12.

Overall, the Blues shot 43% from the field and connected on 10-three pointers.  Russell Curley continues his hot shooting finishing the game with 16 points and 13 rebounds.  Kash Lang had a team high 18 points and David Featherston Jr chipped in with 16 as well.

The Royals shot the ball well at 37% but just fell short in the game led by Scottie Austin and his game high 19 points.

These two schools will meet again on Saturday at 7:00pm | WATCH HERE

Langara Falcons 82
CBC Bearcats 80

The game was in doubt until Patrick Robinson knocked down a three-pointer with 44 seconds left and then Cameron Vaughn blocked the Bearcats last attempt at the buzzer to secure the two-point victory in a wild finish.

The Falcons shot 43% in the ball game and Robinson came off the bench to give his club a spark with 22 points including the game winning three.  Kadyn Brown was a force with 15 points and nine boards while Vaughn added 14 points.  It was the Falcons third straight win.

For the Bearcats it was their fourth loss in their last five games.  They shot 42% but couldn’t find the final basket in the last 44 seconds.  Before Robinson hit the game winning shot, the Bearcats allowed several offensive opportunities for the Falcons, not being able to grab the defensive board and it cost them dearly.   On the other end Favour Igbinyemi led their offensive push with 18 points and Levi Van Egdom added 16 in the setback.

VIU Mariners 116
Okanagan Coyotes 69

After a very entertaining and fast paced first quarter which saw the Mariners lead by five, the game become very lopsided in a hurry as the visitors scored their second straight win.

They shot 58% and nailed 15-three pointers reaching the 100-point plateau for the seventh time.  Each player on their roster scored and contributed led by Kameron Bender and his 25 points and Kai Leighton added 19.

The Coyotes shot 36% in the lopsided loss with Cam Sale leading them offensively with 15 points.

They will meet for the final time this season on Saturday at 2:00pm.  WATCH HERE
