The KW Titans wrapped up a busy weekend with mixed results, falling to the defending champions Sudbury Five on Saturday before rebounding with a road win against the Lake Erie Jackals on Sunday.

The weekend began at home on Saturday, January 17, as the Titans hosted the Sudbury Five in a tightly contested matchup. Sudbury, who entered the game averaging 124 points per contest, came out strong and held a narrow lead after the first quarter, edging the Titans 30-28. KW stayed within striking distance throughout the game, trading possessions and keeping the pressure on, but ultimately came up short in a 113-107 loss.

The Titans quickly turned the page on Sunday, traveling to the Hagerty Center in Erie for the second half of the back-to-back weekend. Despite the challenge of consecutive road games, KW showed strong energy and consistency against the Lake Erie Jackals, earning a 104-97 victory to close out the weekend on a high note.

“I am especially proud of the third quarter,” said Head Coach Cliff ClinkScales. “Lately, players have been injured, and since the home opener the team hasn’t started with the original twelve. But that’s why I love this team, any five that start can lead us to victory.”

Saturday’s game also featured the team’s annual Stuff the Hummer Food Drive in partnership with the Food Bank of Waterloo Region, with generous Titans fans donating food and funds. Now in its 18th year, the campaign continues to support the local community. The Titans’ also held Soirée Franco, welcoming more than 200 French students and their families from MonAvenir School to The Aud.

The Titans now turn their focus to next weekend, beginning with an away matchup against the Windsor Express on Saturday at 4:00 PM, followed by a home game on Sunday at 3:00 PM at The Aud. Fans can also look forward to an exciting Superhero theme night and a collaboration with the Children’s Miracle Network in support of children’s health.

The weekend tipped off on Friday after a six-hour bus ride to the Pierre-Charbonneau Centre, where the Titans faced a fired-up Montreal crowd for the Toundra home opener. Matching the energy early, the Titans battled their way to a 111–107 win.

James Towns led the charge with 23 points, four rebounds, four assists, and two key steals, while Tarkus Ferguson provided a huge spark off the bench, finishing with 19 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists.

Saturday’s game saw a determined Montreal squad pushing hard for their first home win of the season. Despite solid efforts from the Titans, the Toundra edged out a 110–103 victory. “They tried to make their runs, but it was late, so they were trading baskets back and forth,” said Head Coach Jaymo.

A 10-point run by Montreal in the third quarter shifted momentum, though CJ Felder stood out with double-digit rebounds, Antoine Mason poured in 28 points, and Jaylen Bland added 21 points.

Sunday proved to be a turning point. With the goal of winning at least two games in the series, the Titans responded with focus and discipline, closing out the weekend with a 100-90 victory. Ty Groce earned Player of the Game honours after recording 24 points, four rebounds, and three assists. Ferguson continued his strong weekend with 19 points, while Nathan Charles delivered key minutes off the bench, posting 10 points, four rebounds, and three assists.

 “He had a number of steals that really built momentum,” Coach Jaymo added. “His scrambles for the ball were pretty wild.”

The Titans now shift their focus to the rest of the Basketball Super League season and return home to The Aud. Fans can catch the team’s next home game on January 17 at 4:00 p.m. at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium – another exciting matchup you won’t want to miss.
