Falcons swat Lions away in basketball

Heading into Lion's den at Lambton, the Fanshawe Falcon's men's basketball team looked to continue their perfect season and improve to 7-0.

“Tonight the guys need to come out and show good movement with the ball and their feet, finish on offence and get those rebounds,” said Falcons head coach Glenn Johnston. “Also I'd like to see the guys stay committed at the free throw line. This season we haven't been able to find our groove so this will be a big help. Lastly, I'd like to see the guys learn from their mistakes otherwise known as the fundamentals of the game. Every team will make mistakes but it's how the players learn from these mistakes that will pay off on the court.”

Than the damage began from three-point land as the Falcon's lit the building up with hot shooting from all players. Even power forward Pat Wright was getting his share of three pointers. The Falcon's also took advantage of poor fouls taken by Lambton and had a solid free throw percentage.

Lambton played very poor defense with no outside coverage that Fanshawe took advantage of. Fanshawe kept a tight zone defense and forced Lambton to make poor shots. The frustration was easily visible on the Lions bench.

Standout players of the game were Will Bradbury lighting it up, Manny Campbell setting up some unreal plays while putting up some end to end run and guns and Pat Wright putting in some points for his home town crowd. The men finished the game strong with a 94- 62 win and now are looking to go into the holiday break to get some well deserved rest and come out for the second half of the season and continue their winning streak.
