It was a historic night for Gee-Gees star Johnny Berhanemeskel as he became the all-time leader for points in a career by a Gee-Gee, surpassing Josh Gibson-Bascombe’s record of 1571. The Gee-Gees appeared to use the feat as fuel as they immediately jumped ahead and started to pull away to what ended up being a big 106-83 win versus the no. 4 McMaster.

Berhanemeskel was only 13 points shy of the record heading into the game and was quick to go to work as he finished the first half with 12 points. He made history early in the third quarter as he punched the ball into the paint and laid it in for a classic finger roll finish.

“It’s special in a sense because my team, my family and my coaches have supported me so much throughout my five years here so in a way this is me saying thank you to them. I am very grateful for everything that has been done for me and allowed me to get here and reach this accolade,” said Berhanemeskel who finished the game with 18 points and nine rebounds. “I think the fact that we have so many threats on this team is a huge asset for us and something that we will be able to use to our advantage this year.”

 “If it was anyone else but Johnny [Berhanemeskel] I might have been worried that the whole record situation might have distracted him but not him. It’s an emotional thing and I think that pushed us a bit in this game. I knew the guys weren’t going to let us lose on the night that he broke the record and I knew that they had talked about it between them,” said head coach James Derouin.
