Fort McMurray wasn't kind to the Griffins over the weekend as they dropped a pair to Keyano College as they failed to stop a balanced attack from the fifth-placed Huskies, losing the first 87-71 and the second 95-93.
The Griffins offence looked overwhelmed by the potent backcourt tandem of Lance Wesolowski and Yonas Berhe. Berhe, a Toronto native, scored a game-high 23 points with 11 assists in the first game, earning ACAC athlete of the week honours. Wesolowski finished the weekend shooting 58.6% (17-29).
Keith Gerdes would score 22 points in both contests, a season-high, and was by far the most efficient scorer in the Griffins offence at Keyano. Gerdes shot a sparkling 70.3% (19-27) combined for both games and has found a home as the go-to player in the paint in recent weeks, it is only now that he's boasted his scoring prowess. He is 73.1% from the field this season.
After being held relatively quiet in his first game (10 points), Alain Mony'ele would explode with a 36 point effort in latter of the two games at Keyano College. He'd shoot 6-10 from beyond the arc and 13-20 overall in that game. He now leads the team with 18.7 points per game.
The Griffins now sit in 10th place with a 6-9 record, good for 6th best among ACAC north teams.
