The Raptors 905 faced the College Park Skyhawks on Friday, desperately needing a win to end their seven-game losing streak and preserve playoff hopes. Key players Charlie Brown Jr. and Eugene Omoruyi showcased exceptional defensive skills early in the game, helping the team maintain an early lead. Omoruyi delivered a standout performance, scoring a career-high 39 points. However, the Skyhawks, led by former 905 player Kevon Harris's 35 points, ultimately secured a 134-127 victory. The 905's struggles highlight operational challenges exacerbated by player trades and injuries impacting their roster stability.
"He's a warrior, that's who he (Omoruyi) is. I don't expect anything less," said coach Drew Jones after the game. "And when I do see it, I call it out. And you know what he responds, that's what pros do."
Yet the 905's purposeful play wasn't enough. Former 905er Kevon Harris matched with a career-high on the other end, putting up 35 without a made 3."
