Clarke drains 41 points in Durham's first win of the year


NORTH BAY, Ont. – The Durham College men's basketball team earned their first conference win of the year on Saturday as they defeated the Canadore Panthers 94-87 in North Bay.
 
Ajahmo Clarke (Ajax, Ont.) had a huge afternoon for the green and gold as he scored a season high 41 points while adding 15 rebounds and eight steals to his totals. Clarke is averaging 26.8 points per game which is second in OCAA scoring.
 
North Bay has proven to be a tough place to play for opponents as the Panthers were 2-0 at home heading into Saturday's game. One reason why is the performance of Christian Casimier, who managed to record a team high 25 points and 14 rebounds for the home team in the loss.
 
With the win, Durham puts an end to their four-game losing streak to start the season.
 
The Lords next action will be on Friday, November 15 in Oshawa when they host the Centennial Colts (3-1), which will be a rematch of the David Stewart Tip-Off tournament finals. Game time is 8 p.m. at the CRWC.
