MacEachern and Moss take Athlete of the Week honours
Basketball players Emily MacEachern and Donathan Moss have been named the Holland Hurricanes Athletes of the Week for the week ending March 7.
MacEachern takes the award after being selected as an ACAA second team all-star at the 2010 ACAA Basketball Championships hosted by NSAC. MacEachern had a great season for the Hurricanes, leading them in scoring and rebounding on the season.
On the court over the weekend, MacEachern and the ‘Canes struggled losing 55-23 to the Mount Allison Mounties in quarterfinal action. The loss marked Emily's last game in a Hurricanes uniform.
The Charlottetown native will graduate this spring from the Human Services program at Holland College.
Moss was spectacular for the men's basketball team, leading them to a silver medal, losing in the 2010 ACAA Championship game 72-55 to Mount Saint Vincent.
In Saturday's 80-76 overtime win over St. Thomas, Moss single-handedly changed the game for the Hurricanes erupting in the first half with big plays on both ends of the floor. The half was highlighted by an amazing alley-oop dunk of a lob pass from Aaron Brown. Donathan finished the semi-final game with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
George Morrison, Head Coach for the Hurricanes admitted he was impressed in Moss' performance.
"In over 30 years of coaching I have to say that was one of the first times I've ever seen a player totally shake a team. In the first-half against STU, he had them totally shook. They really didn't know how to handle them. They couldn't stop him and he was shutting down their best shooter. You could see it in their face, they didn't have an answer for him," said Morrison.
He came up big again in Sunday's title game, getting his team back in the game after falling behind early. Throughout the game he proved to be the only ‘Cane having much success scoring the ball. Donathan finished with 21 points, leading his team for the second consecutive day.
Moss, a first-year student in the Tourism and Travel management program is from Nassau, Bahamas.
