McAdam vs. Fundy

In the first league tilt of the season the the Mariners found the cozy confines of the McAdam Warriors less than inviting. The boys dropped the contest 77-59 to drop their overall record to 2-1 and their league record to 0-1.

It was a game of 2 halves where in the first 1/2 play was frenetic and wide open with Mcadam pushing to a 50-39 half time lead. The second half was a complete turn around with neither team mounting much offense.

Fundy hurt themselves again at the free throw line going 10-29 and by putting Mcadam there 35 times. The Mariners played hard but couldn't keep the string of McAdam big men out of the middle and off the glass for extended periods of time.

Leading the way for the Mariners again were Billy Muxworthy 18 and Jarred Weston 12.

The Mariners shot 5-20 from the foul line.Fundy generated a number of turnovers through pace of play and tenacious pressure. The held ESA's leading scorer J. Karemangingo to a season low 6 points.

Canterbury Game

Well the boys had their first taste of the New "AA" league and they liked it.

In our first game of the year the boys game out with a big time effort early on and made sure to take advantage of their opportunities. It was clear early on that CHS was not going to be able to contain the boys strength and athleticism.

With a 1st Quarter score of 27-7 and a halftime lead of 58-8 by the time the boys went to the locker room the contest was decided. Out of a respect to the hosts who had done them a favour by replacing a game on their schedule the boys came out in the second half and made sure the game didn't get out of hand. They took the air out of ball chewing up clock on offense and working on set ways to score.

10 of 11 Mariners scored. 4 Mariners ended up in double digits (Reese Gaudett, Jarred Weston, Billy Muxworthy, Mark Dwyer). The team shot 8-11 from the free throw line in a noted improvement from an area of concern last season. The final was 81-21.

Overall it was a strong performance effort wise and a good opportunity for everyone to work on execution. The boys next game is Wednesday at home against ESA.
