The North Country Community College Men's Basketball team got its first win of the 2013-14 season with an 82-37 victory over Word of Life Bible Institute.  The Saints had all 17 players who were dressed see game action and 16 Saints get into the scoring column.   Zane Ramsdell (Winthrop, NY/St. Lawrence Central) and Donny Patraw (Winthrop, NY/St. Lawrence Central) combined for 23 points as the Saints rolled past Word of Life in men's college basketball.  Head Coach Chad LaDue said, "Donny and Zane each played extremely well. They were high school teammates at St. Lawrence Central, so it was nice to get them out there together."

Defensively, Chateaugay native Devon Barnes (Chateaugay, NY/Chateaugay Central) was a force inside the paint and led NCCC with 5 blocked shots to along with 5 rebounds. Danilo Bozovic (Podgorica, Montenegro/Furtah Prep) and Ivan Grcic (Belgrade, Serbia/Beogradska Gimnazija) led the Saints with 7 rebounds each.

"Our defense is really coming together. We put a lot of pressure on the WOLBI guards and were able to cause distractions in their offense. Clement Gibson (Brooklyn Center, MN/Brooklyn Center High), Michael Boyea (Chateaugay, NY/Chateaugay Central) and Ivan Grcic each had three steals. It leads to a lot of points for us in transition and that is a good night defensively," said LaDue.

The Saints will host Corning at 2 p.m. Saturday, November 16th at Chateaugay Central School.
