Campion College Basketball: Campionites end season on high, trouncing Tarrant

Date: 31/01/08 [56-10] {Record: 3-5} Venue: Radley Reid Arena (Campion College)
[Home: 3-1][Away: 0-4]

Campion College finished their season in the same manner in which they started it - with a win - as action continued in the Southern Zone of the ISSA/KFC/Pepsi Basketball Competition. Campion soundly beat the lowly Tarrant High to complete and cap off a better than average (and expected) season. Though playing slopely, possibly due to their season having being over AND/OR the fact that they knew Tarrant was winless, the Campionites still managed to demolish their opponents 56-10.

Impressive Home Record

Though a sloppy match, the Campionites ended their season with an impressive home record of 3 wins and just one loss. The fans obviously playing a factor with this year being the only year in recent times that Campion fans came out in their numbers and actually outnumbered opponents. All-in-all, it was a great sending off for the Campionites with all but one of their members playing their last year of basketball with the school.

Campion College Basketball: Campionites season comes to an end, with loss to St. Catherine

Date: 24/01/08 [44-58] {Record: 2-5} Venue: Radley Reid Arena (Campion College)
[Home: 2-1][Away: 0-4]

St. Catherine High officially put an end to Campion College's bid for a playoff/quarterfinal spot as action continued in the Southern Zone of the ISSA/KFC/Pepsi Basketball Competition. The Campionites, who came into this match needing to win, went down in a match that was for the most part closely contested. At halftime the score was 17-26 and the Campionites looked a bt shaky. However they made great efforts in their comeback and drew close to St. Catherine team before finally allowing the match and hence their season, to slip away. The match eventually ended 58 - 44.


SLIPPED AWAY
As the match came down to the final five minutes Campion had drawn withint two points of their opponents. However, offensive blunders turned into easy fast break points which allowed St. Catherine to balloon back the lead to double digits. As the match came to a close, they knew that their spirited season was over.

FIRST HOME LOSS
This match was the first home loss for the Campionites who had previously been undefeated (2 - 0). (Though the loss to Calabar came at their home, it was scheduled and is still regarded as an away encounter).

ONE MATCH TO GO
They still have one match to go against Tarrant and the team is hoping to end their season on a high, not only due to pride but also the fact that most of these players are also seniors meaning this is their last year of high school basketball.

Campion College Basketball: Season begins with victory!

Date: 30/11/07 [64-24] {Record: 1-0} VENUE: Radley Reid Arena (Campion College)

For the first time in many years Campion Under-19(Senior/Varsity) AND Under-16(Junior) teams won their first match of the season in the KFC ISSA Basketball Competition (Southern Zone). The matches against their Innswood counterparts both ended in blowouts as Campion strolled to victory.

Under 19 game review:


Q uarter 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Final
Campion College 7 19 18 20 64
Innswood High 2 18 4 0 24

Points leader: Russel Thompson (28)
Rebound leader: Xavier Thompson (12)
Assists leader: James Deane (10)

Noticeable Stats:
Russell Monteith: 28 points 3 assists
James Deane: 15 points 10 assists
Xavier Thompson: 9 points 12 rebounds



Xavier Thompson had his biggest OFFICIAL game of his career:
As you would remember last year he had 8 pts (tieing a career high) and 14 boards (career high)...However that match was forfeited from the beginning so though the teams (Campion & Jose Marti) did play the stats were not registered/recorded officially. Today Thompson had 9 points - 7 of which came in the second half - (a new career high) and 12 rebounds (OFFICIAL career high) and also set a new career high in amount of shots taken as he had 14 shots.

Russel Thompson (no relation to Xavier) also had a career night racking up 28 points. He caught fire in the 2nd Half scoring on a variety of shots. He is expected to be the teams' leading scorer as he was last year.

James Deane though not starting was the only player with a double double as he came on a few minutes into the first quarter and controlled the game, scoring and assisting with ease. His leadership is crucial to the team and its progress and expect him to consistently play great baskeball.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURE PLAYER:

We begin our look at the individual's on the team by starting with the teams Forward/Center,
Xavier Thompson:


Points: 9
Rebounds: 12
Assists: 3
Blocks: 2
Steals: 2
Turnovers: 3
Fouls: 0
Shots scored: 4
Shots taken: 14
Free throws scored: 1
Free throws taken: 2
3 pointer scored: 0
3 pointers taken: 0
Minutes played: 40 minutes (the whole game)

Note (NB): The Rebounds were not accurately recorder and it is estimated that Thompson had about 16-18 rebounds in all.

He showed great tenacity and hustle play and his performance was only outshun by leading scorer Russel Thompson and James Deane.


After the game Xavier Thompson had this to say:
"It feels great to finally win an official match. It was just a rejuvenating and wonderful experience, one i probably won't ever forget. I just hope that we can continue to play good basketball. I realized that I missed some shots that I shouldn't have but overall I was pleased with my shot selection and I definately will be more mindful of techniques to ensure I score easy buckets. Right now we have to gather ourselves and play well on Monday as Innswood is the only team persons probably expected us to beat (and I'm sure some didn't think we could) so if we want to prove the masses wrong, we have to win more matches. So even though we played a pretty good game, we have to refocus and think about the rest of our opponents."

We will continue this feature with Russel Thompson on Decemeber 13, 2007.
