\u0027I wish the result was different, but it’s fun putting the jersey on and hearing the fans. I hope any pro guy gets to experience this because it’s priceless\u0027
In a perfect world, Johnny Berhanemeskel would have wanted to celebrate the start of his third tour of duty with the Ottawa BlackJacks with a victory.
“But it’s fun putting the jersey on and hearing the fans. I hope any pro guy gets to experience this because it’s priceless; the feeling and sensation I get coming on the court, seeing people I grew up with, people I trained with when I was younger and my parents.” The BlackJacks have now lost their past four games, leaving them with a 5-12 record, eighth among the CEBL’s 10 squads. The latest loss, to a Growlers team that is dead last with a 3-13 record, was a showcase of poor shooting, lackadaisical defence and all-around inconsistency.
“I think it does a little bit and I would be lying if I said anything different, but at the same time, it’s up to us to grow from these losses, from an experience like ,” he said. “You definitely have to have a short term memory in any sport, but especially with this unique opportunity, because it’s two games with a quick turnaround and if you come together at the right moment, you can beat anyone in this league.
After finishing up a three-game road trip Sunday in Victoria, Derouin believes jet lag contributed to the poor display. Berhanemeskel was one of several newcomers thrown into the mix, but the whole team looked out of sync. The BlackJacks actually opened the game on a 7-0 run, but the shooting went cold and the Growlers led 27-20 after the first quarter.
