HUSKIES BASKETBALL CELEBRATE GOLDEN ERA, SWEEP CENTENNIAL ON HERITAGE NIGHT

HUSKIES BASKETBALL CELEBRATE GOLDEN ERA, SWEEP CENTENNIAL ON HERITAGE NIGHT

Outfitted in retro 70's jerseys from the golden era of Huskies basketball, George Brown earned a pair of impressive wins on Wednesday night. The program took home two convincing victories over Centennial to improve to a combined 10-0 on the season, having yet to lose a game nearly a month into the regular season.

The women's team (4-0, 1st east) were in control from the opening tip in a 87-64 win over the visiting Colts. With the victory, the Huskies moved into a first-place tie with Seneca and are the eastern division's highest scoring outfit.

Tianna Sullivan continued her torrid scoring pace, pouring in a team-high 19 points on 7-for-15 shooting while earning six trips to the line. Point guard Aprille Deus was her usual solid self, finishing with 18 points and adding a season-high 13 helpers in the win.

The Huskies continued what is becoming a trend, with the Colts unable to handle George Brown's pressure; George Brown forced 22 turnovers on the night. Deus led the way with six steals, while ever-improving forward Sherral Wilson had five.

George Brown outscored Centennial every quarter but the fourth (losing by one), and dominated across nearly every category.

The men's team (6-0, 1st east) continued to cruise with a 75-60 win, and have now gone over a calendar year without a regular season loss.

Adam Costanzo was dominant, putting together a double-double of 22 points and 13 rebounds on 7-for-14 shooting. The 6'5" wing is quickly establishing himself among the OCAA's best two-way players, a major presence on both ends of the court.

Dejazmatch James also continues what has been a spectacular stretch as of late, scoring 22 points on over 50% shooting. James has now scored 83 points in his last four outings, and has continually tortured smaller guards on the block.

Alex Petronis and Matt Bukovec both hit double-figures with 11 points apiece.

Next up for the Huskies they will visit Georgian on Tuesday, November 14 in Barrie. Follow @GBC_Huskies on twitter for updates throughout.
