The 14th ranked (NJCAA Pre-season Poll) Thunderbirds started the weekend off with a win against a very good group in the Wyoming All-Stars who eventually beat Eastern Wyoming CC Saturday night by 12.

Another Casper College Freshman, Darrious Curry had 12 points (in 15 minutes) followed by Daniel Carlin, freshman post, who rattled off 10 points and 7 rebounds. Joel Davidson’s Point guard play was tremendous in the night between Dominique Brooks and (Idaho commit) Denzel Douglas had six assists and zero turnovers for the night.
Saturday night the T-birds picked up right where they left off at while facing Region IX foe Northeastern JC. The T-Birds forced 30 Plainsmen turnovers and held a double digit lead throughout the contest, Casper College won convincingly by a score of 94-65. Remi Dibo led all scorers with 26 points including the first seven points to start the game. Dibo was four for six from beyond the arch. Denzel Douglas was big for the T-birds as he had 13 points, 8 assists to 1 turnover (12 to one assists to turnover ratio for the weekend) and seven rebounds.
