Keenan Miller, Keyano Huskies, Men's Basketball
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Keenan Miller had a exceptional weekend for the Keyano Huskies Men's Basketball team as they captured their first Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) National Championship in Keyano College's history.
Over the Huskies' three games in the tournament, Miller scored 43 points, adding 18 rebounds, 11 assists, three steals and one block. He was subsequently recognized as the Tournament's Most Valuable Player.
“Unbelievable weekend,” Head Coach Jeremy Wielenga commented of Miller. “He really came on strong for us here down the stretch. His defence has been absolutely essential for us to win a championship.
“In the SAIT game, the St. Mary’s game, we kept giving him bigger and bigger tasks as we went into Camosun, Humber, and George Brown."
In Wednesday's CCAA quarter-final, Miller went seven-for-11 from the field, making six three-point shots as he scored 22 points in a 75-50 win against the Camosun Chargers. In Thursday's semifinal against the Humber Hawks, he was held to eight points, but also contributed five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block.
In Saturday's Championship win, a 68-55 victory over the George Brown College Huskies, Miller had 12 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two steals.
