McMurray and Thomson named Mucho Burrito AOTW
Matlin McMurray and Chris Thomson led their teams to big wins this weekend.
Feb. 19, 2020 - Leading their teams to big victories this weekend, Kodiaks basketball standouts Chris Thomson and Matlin McMurray have been named this week's Mucho Burrito Athletes of the Week!
Chris Thomson - MBB
Thomson (fourth year, General Studies) was on fire this weekend for the 18-1 Kodiaks men’s basketball team.
He nearly had a triple-double in a big 128-67 win over Olds on Friday, knocking down 16 points to go with ten rebounds and eight assists. He followed that up with 17 points and eight rebounds in an 89-73 win on Saturday. The Chilliwack native has been a great influence on the team’s young roster this year with his leadership and consistent play.
Matlin McMurray - WBB
Matlin (third year, General Studies) played a huge part in the Kodiaks signature win of the season last Friday, as they stunned the number one ranked Olds Broncos.
The Cardston product knocked down 16 points to go along with nine assists and 27 rebounds over the course of two games last weekend. No shot was bigger, however, than her game winning layup with just 3.3 seconds left on Friday night to seal a dramatic victory for the Kodiaks. The victory has boosted the Kodiaks playoff chances and they will look to wrap up a spot in their final weekend of regular season play at Briercrest, beginning with a huge game against the Clippers Friday night.
