After Friday night\u0027s gut\u002Dwrenching loss, Derouin says it\u0027s important to focus on the opportunity that a Canadian professional league offers
Just the same, with a different spin of the basketball here or a foul call going the other way down the stretch late Friday night, the BlackJacks could very well be gearing up for a CEBL championship game Sunday afternoon at TD Place.
“Not to be corny, but I’m thrilled that if it had to be somebody, I would rather it be Caleb,” Derouin said. With the home crowd screaming at him, aiming for the right words or noise to throw him off, he missed his first shot. “It’s about the league and all these teams and the opportunities that they’re getting and I think that gets missed a lot,” he said.
“I know somebody has to win and I know we’re always obsessed with the winning and losing, but I think everyone is winning here. It’s a showcase for these kids. It was a great environment for a great game today and I’m excited to see what comes next.”Article contentJohnny Berhanemeskel, an Ottawa native and another former Gee-Gees star, had given some life to the BlackJacks late season surge after signing in July.
