Brampton A’s Pick Up 2nd Road Win
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia. – The Brampton A's return from their trip out east with a 2-0 record and an
early share of 1st place in the Central Division of the NBL Canada, after a 99-91 victory over the Halifax
Rainmen.
Both teams started slowly and tied after the first quarter, with a score of 18-18. The 2nd period started
well for The A's before a cold stretch and some hot shooting by the Rainmen, who took a 11-0 run into
half time with a score of 42-38 in their favour.
Disappointed with his team's 34% shooting average and being held
to 38 points, Coach Magley challenged them to, “stick to the
offense and be patient,” assuring them that it would all work out.
The A's responded in the second half with 61 points while
continuing to play solid defense & holding the Rainmen to 49.
Cavell Johnson had a monster game with 28 points, 11 rebounds,
and 6 block shots. Jameson Tipping put up impressive numbers
as well with 10 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists. Rounding out
the other players in double figure scoring were Cedric Moodie
with 18 points and 10 rebounds (his second consecutive
double/double game) and Evaldas Zabas with 17 points and 4
steals.
Coach Magley was pleased to see The A’s rebound after a slow start, "the Rainmen have not had a great
pre-season and we knew Coach Terrell would have his guys ready to compete, and they were tough as
nails, especially since they only suited up 8 guys (4 new players are clearing FIBA this week & will be
joining them). As the game went on we started wearing them down and we definitely played more solid
at the end. I was pleased with Jameson's play as a rookie, and was comforted that my veterans really
showed up when called upon. Cavell, Evaldas, and Cedric were very good and Kevin Francis and Melvin
Council were solid when we needed them."
The A's return to the GTA this Tuesday, November 5th to play at the Hershey Centre against the
Mississauga Power at 7:00 PM. Then after a 10-day layoff they play the Power a second time in front of
their Brampton fans at the Powerade Centre at 7:00 PM on November 15th, for their home opener! For
tickets contact Owen King at [email protected].
The A’s goal is simple, PACK THE POWERADE and show our fans what professional basketball looks like up
close, personal, and at a reasonable value. All games can be seen LIVE on the Brampton A's website,
