11/05/2011 - It was fitting that Nathan Obrigewitsch drain a three pointer to put the host Keyano Huskies over the century mark last night in a 102-59 victory against the visiting Briercrest Clippers in a Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference game at the Syncrude Sports & Wellness Centre.

Obrigewitsch, a 6-foot-4 rookie from hometown Fort McMurray, had just scored his first ACAC basket a few minutes prior.

Despite the high score it was a slow start for the 3-2 Huskies as they held a 20-14 first quarter lead. The first quarter started with two quick inside hoops by Huskies  6-foot-9 Jesse Denscombe who had missed the last two games with an injury.

Huskies displayed an offense with a muscle and a defence with a hustle in the second period outscoring the winless Clippers 30-10 for a 50-24 halftime advantage.

Zach Waldher led the Huskies attack with 23 points and seven assists. Demaine Nelson had 17 points and eight rebounds in only 19 minutes on the floor.

Head coach Mike Connolly was able to get all 12 players into the game with 11 hitting the score sheet.

Huskies host the Medicine Hat Rattlers at 8 p.m. today at Westwood Community High School.
