Durham College Athletics

Anthony Batchelor played five seasons at Durham College between 2004 and 2009. Upon graduating and finishing his collegiate career, he was the all-time leading scorer in Canadian Collegiate basketball history.
 
As of 2023, Batchelor and his 1,833 career points are still top three in the history of the OCAA and at the top of the Durham College record book. Leaving his mark on the basketball program and the Durham College community, Batchelor had his number retired in 2012.
 
Well decorated from start to finish, Batchelor earned team MVP honours all five years, as well as team rookie of the year at the 2005 athletic banquet.
 
Batchelor was named a CCAA All-Canadian in 2007-08. The year prior, he was the OCAA men's basketball scoring champion, averaging 25.3 points per game. In the classroom, Batchelor won a number of OCAA All-Academic awards, a CCAA Academic All-Canadian, and the Dr. Gary Polonsky leadership award.
 
In the following months after his college career had finished, the Toronto Raptors had called upon Batchelor for a couple of tryouts ahead of their 2009 NBA Draft.
