Darrious Curry followed with 17, Tyler Larson with 13 and Samuel Johnson with 12 points. Samuel Johnson, 6’6” Forward from Las Vegas, NV added a few highlight dunks as Casper College ran away with the win early.
Friday night’s contest was an old-fashioned barnburner. Joel Davidson and his crew was up against a tough test against Cloud County CC from the Jayhawk Conference. In typical fashion for the T-birds, there were another four guys in double figures but this time with Darrious Curry leading the pack with 25 points. Tyler Larson was huge late in the game making some big baskets to go take the lead and ending the game with 21 points. Dibo and Denzel Douglas finished with 19 and 12 respectively. Casper College Men come away from the game winning 91-88.
In the final game of the Optimum Thanksgiving Classic, the T-birds faced another tough team in their 3rd straight night. This game was a great test for the Thunderbirds against Lamar Community College. Darrious Curry was instrumental in this game with his big shots and coming up with some key rebounds for coach Joel Davidson. Curry had 16 points and 5 rebounds and Tyler Larson ended the game with a team high 17 points and Sophomore Cobi Eskew connected on four 3-pointers and ended the game with 12. Casper College completed the tournament with another definite win against a Lamar 84-68.
