FREDERICTON, NB - The Crandall Chargers Men's Basketball team had their season come to an en during the semi-finals of the ACAA Championship after falling to top-seed, Holland College 74-90.

Holland proved to be Crandall's Achilles heel, as the lone team the Chargers failed to record a win against during the regular season. The matchup between the two teams would pit the Hurricanes' top offense against the top defense of the Chargers.

The opening minutes saw Holland jump out to a 5-point lead but the Chargers would answer right back with a 9-point run of their own. At the end of the first Crandall was within a single point of Holland but the Hurricanes would double the Chargers scoring in the second quarter 22 to 11, a deficit that could not be recovered.

In his last performance as a Crandall Charger, Brett Curtis (Harvey, NB) put up 15 points, scoring from beyond the arc 5 times over the game including a pair back-to-back to open the second half.

James French (Moncton, NB) will end his 5 years of eligibility with a performance that earned him the Player-of-the-game award. Going 10/18 from the field with a trio of 3's, 10 rebounds and turn away block.

Tyray Cooper (Baltimore, MD) had an extended role as the sixth man coming off the bench to square off against his former teammates. Going 5 of 7 and muscling his way through the defense Cooper would account for 10 total points and high pointing 7 rebounds.

Holland had a game plan to not let Chargers leader Devon Glenn (Woodstock, VA) or the player of the game vs UKC, Gabriel Cormier (Moncton, NB) take over the game as both have proven capable all season long. With Glenn hardly getting a clean shot off he was forced to the line 7 times, of which he made 5 and accounted for 13 total points.

With the 2022-23 season now in the books for the Chargers Head Coach, Todd McKillop is expected to have the majority of players return for next year and will continue to develop and build for the future.
