HAWKS CLAYTON BLANCHETTE JOINS EXCLUSIVE 300/300 CLUB
ETOBICOKE, ON: With a game yet to play in the regular season, Humber Hawks second year outside hitter Clayton Blanchette (St. Catherines) has already registered one on the greatest seasons in Hawk and OCAA history. With 23 kills and 27 points in a playoff clinching win on Friday night, he has joined the exclusive 300/300 club. To date, he has 312 kills and a point total of 369.
To put things more into perspective, Blanchette has moved up to number two in the best single season ever produced by a Humber Hawk. The player he has usurped in two of the best single season marks is the legendary Terrel Bramwell. Bramwell held the top three marks, but now Blanchette has moved to number two and has an outside chance of taking over one or both of the records. He is second in kills (332 to 312) and points (389 to 369).
In less than two years in the OCAA, he has already eclipsed the 500 point mark and will move into the top five in Hawks history early next season. The player he will overtake needed four full seasons to get to his mark of 622 points.
He is now a lock to win the OCAA scoring title. His average of 5.86 points per set easily outdistances his closest competitor by over a point a set. He leads the entire OCAA in kills (312), kills per set (4.95) service aces (39) and service aces per set (.62).
Humber will complete its regular season on Wednesday in Hamilton against the Mohawk Mountaineers.
