Red Deer, November 4, 2023 - The Red Deer Polytechnic Kings scored 30-plus points in the first and fourth quarters to walk away with a victory over the NAIT Ooks on Saturday night.

The Kings would open up their matchup with the Ooks on fire from downtown with 12 of their 20 points six minutes into the quarter being scored from beyond the arc. Guard Bernardo Moller (Business Diploma) was a perfect three-for-three from downtown in the opening quarter. Following the Kings sixth three-pointer in the first seven minutes of the game, NAIT would call a timeout. At the end of the first, the Kings found themselves up 32-18.

After a much closer quarter with the Ooks just holding the Kings to 21 points while scoring 16, the Polytechnic would take a 53-34 lead into the second half. Forward Owen Weaver (Academic Upgrading) finished the first 20 minutes with 13 points while the Kings were led by Moller who did not even play in the second quarter and still had the team lead with nine points.

It was all Ooks to start the second half in a very close and low-scoring quarter. In the first four minutes of the quarter, the visitors held the hosts to just seven points while scoring 12 of their own to make it just a 14-point lead for the Kings. NAIT continued to dominate the third quarter as they outscored the Kings 25-14 in the third quarter to close the gap and make it an eight-point game going into the fourth.

The Kings managed to bounce back in the fourth quarter and outscored their opponent 31-12 to take home a 98-71 victory over the Ooks.

The players of the game were awarded to guard Owen Weaver and guard Eduardo Crespo who finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds while Weaver had an outstanding night underneath the net with 15 rebounds. He also was second in team scoring with 13 points.

The Ooks will have a rare Sunday game tomorrow afternoon when they head down to Olds College to take on the Broncos while the Kings will have next weekend off with their next game coming against the Concordia University Thunder on November 17.

Players of the game: Owen Weaver (Ooks) and Eduardo Crespo (Kings)
