Richards leads X to Invitational Title

Join the booster club!

The 1400 fans at last evening's contest at the Oland Centre were treated to a pre-season game that had the intensity of a playoff game as X hosted arch-rival Cape Breton Capers in the final of the Pizza Delight/Nike Invitational. The X-Men came away with a 78-75 victory in what turned out to be a barn burner.  The teams traded leads in the early going, but CBU carried the edge in play in the latter part of the half and took a 44-32 lead to the locker room. 

Garry Gallimore and Tyler Richards led a furious charge to start the second half as X scored the first 10 points to close to within 2, 44-42 about 5 minutes in.  The game was tight, but X built an eight point lead with a few minutes to play.  The Capers chipped away. and got to within 3 with 4 seconds remaining.  The Capers attempted a 3 on their last possession but came away empty.

X was led by Tyler Richards (27 points, 9-16 shooting) and Garry Gallimore (16 points, 6 boards).  Neil MacDonald made his presence felt with 9 points and 5 blocks.  Rookie Terrence Taylor played very well and contributed 9 points (including a big '3' to get the X comeback started in the second half) and 5 boards in 20 minutes.  Christian Upshaw distributed 6 assists.  The Capers were led by Blake (27 points) and Breland (15 points, 13 rebounds). 

For the game, the X-Men shot 53% but  were outrebounded by the larger Caper squad 34-23.
