The Scarborough Shooting Stars survived a fierce challenge from the Calgary Surge on May 28, 2026, escaping with a narrow 106-104 victory in a CEBL matchup that came down to the wire. The margin was razor-thin, but Scarborough had just enough firepower to hold off a resilient Calgary squad.
Powell Sets the Tone for Scarborough
Myles Powell was the clear catalyst for the Shooting Stars. In just over 29 minutes of action, the guard poured in 29 points while adding 8 rebounds and 4 assists — a remarkably complete line for a player operating primarily as a scorer. His ability to generate offense efficiently proved to be the difference-maker in a game where every possession carried weight.

Trey Thomas complemented Powell’s explosion with 20 points of his own in 25 minutes, giving Scarborough a potent one-two punch at the top of their rotation. Javan Johnson rounded out the key contributors with 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists — though his 37-minute workload stood out as a notable detail. Johnson was clearly asked to carry a heavy load, and he delivered across all three phases of the game.
Aamir Simms (14 points, 5 rebounds) and Frank Mitchell (11 points, 7 rebounds) provided solid depth contributions, ensuring Scarborough had enough balance to withstand Calgary’s offensive surges throughout the contest.
Calgary Pushed Hard But Fell Short
Sean Miller-Moore led Calgary with 23 points and 9 rebounds in just over 32 minutes, giving his team a reliable interior presence. Evan Gilyard II was equally dangerous, posting 22 points and 5 assists to keep the Surge in striking distance until the final buzzer.
Javonte Brown added a double-double effort with 17 points and 11 rebounds in under 24 minutes — an impressive efficiency that gave Calgary a physical edge on the boards. Addison Patterson chipped in 15 points off a limited 22-minute stint, offering a quality scoring punch from the bench rotation.
Collectively, Calgary’s offense was more than capable of winning this game. Four players reaching double figures and a final tally of 104 points reflects a high-functioning attack. The Surge simply ran into a Scarborough team that had Powell operating at a different level on the night.
A Statement Win for Scarborough
This result carries weight beyond the box score. Winning a game by two points against a team that scored 104 requires execution, composure, and individual brilliance — all of which Scarborough displayed. Powell’s scoring punch, Johnson’s endurance, and the balanced contributions across the roster paint a picture of a team capable of competing in tight situations.
For Calgary, the performance offers both encouragement and frustration. The offensive production was there; the margin simply wasn’t enough. How the Surge respond to this narrow defeat will be worth monitoring as the CEBL season progresses.
