Men's basketball maintains win streak beating Redeemer 113-65

The Humber Hawks men’s basketball team remains undefeated after a dominant win over the Redeemer Royals on Wednesday night.

With the 113-65 victory, the Hawks have won six straight games. The team is now ranked fifth nationally with a potential championship in sight. Redeemer, meanwhile, suffered its fourth loss of the season.

Point guard Jalen Menzies started the scoring with a three-point jumper in the first quarter, creating the overall mood for Humber's overwhelming performance. 

"I thought it was a good way to start the game, and my first three-pointer that I made was kind of early in the game," he said. 

Menzies has become an outstanding player for the Hawks, often coming up with crucial shots and defensive plays. 

He has shown an impressive amount of skill and determination this season compared to previous years. Menzies scored 23 points by the fourth quarter.

The Hawks overcame the Royals in strength and skill throughout the game, showing excellent teamwork and smart play. 

Menzies finished the first quarter with 18 points, as forward Malik Grant scored seven points.

The Royals found it difficult to keep up with Humber's offensive plays and strong defence. 

Redeemer made every effort to catch up, but every quarter saw them fall further behind. By halftime, the Hawks had a big lead of 48 points, which kept growing throughout the third and fourth quarters. The game provided Redeemer with a difficult reminder of how competitive the field is this season.

The lopsided score of 113-65 also highlights Humber's roster's depth and adaptability. Menzies finished the second quarter with seven points, while Grant scored 10 in the first quarter.

To keep pressure on the Royals while allowing starters to rest, the Hawks bench also saw a lot of action from players like Christian Desjardins, who netted 12 points, Dwayne Burke, who scored 10, and Victoire Ndongo, who recorded eight rebounds and nine points.
