Red Deer Polytechnic Athletes of the Week

RDP Athletics says this is partially due to the hard work Raniseth put in during the weekend in Edmonton. They say her competitive curling experience was on display with both her strategy and shot-making. They add that Raniseth will be a vital piece to the puzzle as the team moves forward and competes for a championship come March.

“Congratulations Kaylee and we wish you and the Queens luck as the team looks to avenge last year’s tough gold medal loss,” said RDP officials.

2. Eduardo Crespo

Hometown: Mococa, Sao Paulo, Brazil – Academic Upgrading (2nd year)

RDP Athletics says Eduardo Crespo was a key player for the Kings Basketball team as they were able to defeat the Ambrose University Lions in back-to-back tough games. Both games could have gone either way with the Lions taking the lead multiple times in the game but that did not stop the Kings from keeping their composure and battling to take the lead back. Crespo finished with 16 points on Friday night and then topped that off with a 34-point night, 41-minute performance on Saturday evening. This includes a layup in the last five seconds that sent the game into overtime where the Kings would win 92-91.

On this five-game winning streak the Kings are on, Crespo is averaging 22 points and just over 31 minutes on the floor. On the year, he is ranked third in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference with 30.8 points per 40 minutes. According to Head Coach Darren Graham, if Crespo can stay healthy and out of foul trouble, he can be the best player on the floor on any given night as with his size and ball-handling skills, he can play all the positions.

“Congratulations Eduardo and good luck to you and the Kings in the tough two games ahead of the team against the Trojans,” said RDP officials.
