COLTS COMEBACK TO DEFEAT GRIZZLIES
Tyler Vanessen made his long awaited return to the Grizzlies lineup and scored 13 points but the Colts came back to defeat the Grizzlies
The Georgian Grizzlies men's basketball team opened up the second half of the regular season on Wednesday night when they travelled to face the Centennial Colts in Toronto, ON.
The Grizzlies came out to a solid start, leading to a five point lead at halftime.
In the second half Georgian's shooting went cold and they were unable to get out of it, shooting just 25.6% in the second half.
The Colts took advantage and were able to pull away with a 77-67 win over the Grizzlies.
Carter Dunlop (Manitowaning) led the team with 14 points coming off the bench. Tyler Vanessen (Whitby) made a significant return to the Georgian lineup after missing most of the first half due to injury and scored 13 points.
The loss drops the Grizzlies to 6-5 on the season as they currently sit in fifth place in the OCAA east division standings.
The men's team will play their first home game of the New Year this coming Saturday, Jan. 20 when they host the Fleming Knights at the Georgian Athletic Centre at 1 p.m.
Tickets to all home games are available at the doors for $5.
