Cascades stomp Thunderwolves on hard court

The Fraser Valley Cascades have the Lakehead Thunderwolves number.

The B.C. basketball squad took it to the Wolves early and often on Friday night, coasting to an 88-70 pre-season win in Abbotsford, B.C.
Kyle Grewal led all scorers with 31 points.

Alex Robichaud and Anthony McIntosh led LU with 12 and 14 points respectively, a game that saw the Wolves play without starting pivot Yoosrie Salhia, sixth-man Joseph Jones and Ryan Thomson, who sat out the entire second half with injury.

"We were a shorthanded team that ran into a talented starting five that was really feeling it tonight. I was disappointed in our game plan execution to start the game and second half. When you play a top ten team missing two starters you have no choice but to execute the game plan to near perfection.

At the same time I was quite pleased with the effort of our young bench who played even with UFV's starters for the last 15 minutes of the game,” said Lakehead coach Scott Morrison in a release.

The Wolves take on UBC on Saturday, their seventh game in 10 days, to wrap up preseason play.
