Gabe Mannes is lighting it up, but his team is still searching for its first win.
The GW Graham grad poured in another 25 points for his Columbia Bible College Bearcats in a basketball game last Friday against Langara College. Mannes added nine rebounds, four assists and a steal, but it wasn’t enough to ward off a 117-105 defeat that dropped CBC to 0-11 on the season, good for seventh spot in the seven team PACWest standings.
Mannes has been stuffing the stat-sheet for the Bearcats.
In nine games this season he’s averaging 23.1 points per game, shooting 45 per cent from the field.
The guard is adding 4.2 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, but his team is running out of chances to get that elusive first victory.
CBC hosts the Camosun Chargers (3-7) Friday and Saturday. That may be the best opportunity for the Bearcats to crack the W column.
Mannes and company have a home-and-home with Capilano College (6-4) Feb. 8-9 and finish the season with a home-and-home versus Douglas College (8-4) Feb. 15-16.
