08 -09 Season Overview

January 17th

In the New Year and new semester the Titans have started off on a 3 game winning streak. On the 4th of January the Titans held off the hot shooting Outlaws as they game away with an 88 to 55 victory. Cliff DeMastus had a career high 25 points and rookie Jeremy Cockrill stepped up with a 17 point performance. Andrew Dawn also produced a double double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. On January 11th the Titans controlled a well fought out game by outlasting Lights Out in the fourth quarter. Graeme Horton came back to his usual form with 26 points. On the 17th the Titans won yet again with an 83 to 68 victory. Caleb Borthistle had a quality game with 11 points and G. Horton exploded for 38 points including a 9 point unanswered streak of three 3 pointers.

December 14, 2008

This marked the last game of the first semester for the Titans in which they suffered a humbling 113 to 71 loss to the Wolfpack. The Titans were short a few players as some had already left for the holidays so the quick pace of the team did not hold up. The duo of James Baturin and Cliff DeMastus led the team in scoring each with 18 points.

November 30, 2008

The winning streak extends to 2 games as the Titans defeated Lights Out on November 30! This was the closest game the Titans have been in and it came down to the last minute of the game. Lead changes were common as each team battled back and forth, but in the end the Titans got the victory with a 97 to 92 victory. Graeme Horton continued his stellar offense performance with a 27 point day including shooting well from behind the arc. Caleb Borthistle contributed well to the victory playing a solid game with hard nosed defense and rebounding.

November 23, 2008

The Titans came away with another victory on November 23 with a blowout performance over the Outlaws. Discipline and teamwork came to be leading factors that led the Titans to their second W of the year. The Titans scored a season high 95 points and held the Outlaws to only 66. Four players reached double figures for the second straight game as the Titans were able to successfully share the rock on offense.

November 16, 2008

On the 16th of November the Titans took on last years 2nd place team The School. After the first half the Titans were leading 51 to 50 in an offensive battle. The second half left proved to be less fruitful as The School came away with a 75 to 100 victory. Despite the loss, the Titans were proud of their first half performance and look to build on that in the following weeks. Graeme Horton came back from his injured ankle to lead the team with 22 points; Cliff DeMastus followed with 16.

November 9, 2008

The Titans pulled off their first victory of the season on November 9, the third week of the season. In a hard fought battle with the KT Shooters, the Titans were awarded the W with a 68 to 57 score. The game was close for all four quarters until Andrew Dawn went for 6 unanswered points with two minutes left in the game to give the Titans the lead they needed. Dawn had struggled earlier in the game with foul trouble, but persevered with 3 clutch jumpers down the stretch. Dan Fama and Brent Beugelink led the team with 10 and 11 points respectively. It was an all around team effort as three other players each had 8 points.

November 2, 2008

The Titans continued their season on November 2nd with a clash with The Force. The Titans battled with The Force for 2 ½ quarters keeping it close, but The Force were able to make a commanding run resulting in a 90 to 69 loss. James consistently put up another 12 points leading the team in scoring. Andrew Dawn seemed to find a rhythm stuffing the stats with 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. The Titans leading scorer, Graeme Horton, went down in the second quarter with an ankle injury. The teams hopes to heal up from the physical loss and look to rebound next week.

October 26, 2008

October 26th was the first league game for the TWU Titans in which they faced the Wolfpack. The Titans could not keep up with the sharp shooting of the Wolfpack, and registered their first game with a loss. The team improved from the week before, but defense is something that will need some work. Graeme Horton continued to establish himself as a high profile player in the league by putting up 19 points. James Baturin also logged in a solid game by hitting some perimeter shots resulting in 12 points.

October 19, 2008

On the 19th the Titans had an exhibition game before the league officially starts. Graeme Horton, last years leading scorer, had a solid off season and looked sharp in the opener. The new young talent shows a lot of promise as well. Morgan Hayduk had some sweet hits from the perimeter. The Titans look forward to this year’s season and improving from last year’s team. Their first official game will be on Sunday, October 26 at CBC.
