Royalty In Week 9
It was a Douglas Royals sweep for Athlete of the Week
The PACWEST is proud to announce the basketball Athletes of the Week following a very intense and nail-biting week across the Conference.
Female Athlete of the Week
Karalee Antoine - Douglas Royals
In two exciting and extremely close games, where the lead changed or was tied numerous times, Karalee Antoine led the Douglas Royals to a sweep of the Okanagan Coyotes. In Friday night’s win, with under two minutes left in the game and Douglas up by a pair, Karalee had a steal, an assist and scored four of the team’s last six points including two pressure free-throws, to secure the emotional two-point win. In all she scored 12 points, added four assists, three rebounds and two steals, including four-for-four from the free-throw line. In Saturday afternoon’s dramatic rematch, she picked up where she left off, scoring a team high 18 points, including three-three’s and added five rebounds and three assists.
Male Athlete of the Week
Jeevan Sidhu - Douglas Royals
He averaged 24.5 points, six rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game leading the Douglas Royals to a sweep of the visiting Okanagan Coyotes. He shot a combined 13 for 23 from downtown, including a big three with seven seconds left to cement the Saturday afternoon win. Additionally, he was a key factor in directing Douglas’ zone defense which stifled the Okanogan shooters over the weekend, and was a perfect six-for-six from the free throw line.
