Your Brookwood Bullets headed into this past weekend's Express Tournament, looking to avenge last years Finals loss against Dawson. They fell short in the semi-finals against Dawson, in what was an up and down weekend of game play.
They started their weekend off Friday night, against Henri-Bourassa. Brookwood started out very slow and were down by 10 at the end of the 1st qtr. Brookwood showed up in the 2nd qtr and narrowed the gap to 1 point by half time. They continued their momentum in the second half and eventually won the hard fought battle, 69-57. Leading the team in scoring was Youri Wadestrandt with 27pts, followed by Rasheed Oliver with 13pts. Cyrus Senior & Wilson Kennedy also chipped in with 10pts.
Their 2nd game was against the home team, Saint-Laurent Express. Brookwood controlled from the start as they faced off against young competition. Final score was 67-32 for Brookwood. Leading the scorers was Cyrus as he scored 14 pts & fellow guards Marshall Lobo had 13 pts & Youri had 12 pts.
Their final round robin game came against Nicolas-gatineau. Brookwood looked to move the ball very well in this game as many players got good scoring chances. Brookwood showed a strong 2nd half press defense as they dictated the pace of the game. Leading Brookwood to a 74-37 victory was Wilson, scoring 19 pts. Youri scored 17pts while Cyrus had 10pts and Marshall had 9pts.
Going into the Semi-Final game, it was a rematch of the previous years tournament final. No difference between the two games as Dawson showed their strength and desire to win as they set the tone with strong, aggressive defense, leaving brookwood to settle for bad shots and plenty of turnovers. Brookwood was outplayed on both sides of the court as they fell by a final score of 62-37. Leading scorers were Cyrus with 14pts, Youri with 8pts & Rasheed with 7pts.
Brookwood looks to get back into the winning column this weekend as they have a double header. 1st game is a rematch of the league finals as Brookwood takes on Parc X, at Parc X, 2pm. They return to Riverdale Sunday as they take on Lasalle at 3:15pm. Hope to have all of you come and support.
