Jettie McLaughlin-Sakaki – Douglas Royals

In Friday’s entertaining game, where the lead changed eight times and the score was tied seven times, fifth year forward Jettie McLaughlin-Sakaki led the Douglas Royals. She finished with a double-double, including 12 rebounds and 12 points, as the Royals upset the top seeded Capilano Blues. Defensively she chipped in two steals, one of which came in the last minute of play, helping to fend off Capilano’s late rally.   Then in Saturday’s rematch, she continued her dominant play, grabbing 14 rebounds and a career high 21 points as her back-to-back double-doubles propelled the Royals to their sweep of the Blues.
