The CEBL clash, with Myles Powell putting the team on his back. The guard was simply unstoppable, finishing as the game’s leading scorer with 31 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in 28 minutes and 30 seconds of action.
Powell’s Brilliance Proves the Difference
With the margin between the two sides never comfortable, Powell’s ability to create and convert was critical throughout the night. Scarborough’s offense ran through him, and he delivered when it mattered most, giving his team the edge in what was a closely contested defensive battle from start to finish.
The supporting cast did its part as well. Frank Mitchell was a force on the boards, posting 9 points and a game-high 11 rebounds to anchor Scarborough’s interior presence. Charles Bediako chipped in 8 points and 4 rebounds, while Kellen Tynes added 7 points and Jay Scrubb contributed 6 points and 3 rebounds. It was a collective effort, but Powell’s 31-point outing was undeniably the engine driving Scarborough forward.
Niagara Falls Short Despite Ahmad’s Effort
Niagara refused to go quietly. Khalil Ahmad was the River Lions’ best answer to Powell, finishing with 24 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists in a strong individual showing. Curtis Hollis was also impactful, recording 11 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Keonte Kennedy added 10 points off the River Lions’ bench.
Despite those contributions, Niagara could not find a consistent answer for Powell’s scoring. The six-point final margin reflects just how competitive the game was, but Scarborough’s star guard made the crucial plays when they were needed most.
The Shooting Stars can take confidence from this performance. With Powell capable of taking over games at this level, Scarborough looks like a genuine threat in the CEBL this season. For Niagara, the loss stings, but Ahmad’s performance shows the River Lions have weapons of their own heading into the rest of the campaign.
