Samuel de Champlain

Sam de Cham game Tuesday Night was cancelled. The game on Wednesday at home went ahead though.

The Mariners jumped out to an early lead thanks to some hot shooting hitting 3 of their first 4 threes. While the offense continued to have success, some questionable defensive rotation allowed the visiting Jaguars to stay in the game. The score at the end of the first was 24-18 for the Mariners.

The second quarter was more of the same with an early jump out for the Mariners, followed by some sloppy play late. The lead at half time was 39-31.

The 3rd quarter was almost a disaster for Mariners who only managed 6 points in the entire frame. Battling foul trouble and poor decision making, the Mariners defense held the Jaguars to 10 points in the quarter to only be down 1 heading into the final frame.

The opening minutes of the last frame were back and forth the teams exchanging hoops. Finally in the last five minutes the Mariners regained their early form to go on a quick 12 -2 run over a 3 minutes span to put the game away. The final was 69-58.

Leading scorers for the Mariners Eric Young with 15, and Ryan Gallagher and Jarred Weston each with 14. SDC responded with 12 points each from Dominic Beaulieu and Eric Ringuette.
