The 5-6 Golden hawks dropped a crucial pair of games to the Carelton ravens and uni- versity of Ottawa Gee Gees -- two national- ly ranked teams -- on Friday and saturday respectively. But most importantly, they were able to compete. The was due, in large part, to rookie sensation Tevaun Kokko, who is second in Oua rookie scoring. "he was always a very, very good shoot- er. he was known as one of the better scorers when he came out of high school," said Justin serresse, the rookie head coach who took over for the now-retired former head coach Peter Campbell prior to this season. Kokko had an interesting path to land with the Golden hawks. Originally a ryerson ram at the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year, Kokko only played in a couple pre-season games before he changed his mind about the school and looked elsewhere. he landed at Laurier in January 2016 and joined the basket- ball team in the fall semester of the same year. "he wasn't really quite sure what he want- ed to do in terms of school and that's some- thing we're still working on," said serresse, who noted that his role as coach has taken more of an advisory role to the young men on the team. "he's one of these ball is life kind of guys," said serresse. "I call him the mini (russell) Westbrook because he has so much energy that he seems like he's going to puke." In Friday's 109-73 loss to the ravens, the former home of serresse, Kokko played a huge role. Kokko scored 21 points in the first half to help Laurier keep pace with the no. 1 nation- ally ranked ravens, finishing the game with 27 points. On saturday, against the Gee Gees, it was a slightly more conservative effort with a team- leading 18 points, along with four rebounds. But serresse was quick to point out that it takes an entire team to feed a shooter. "If he applies himself outside of basketball, we can build around him," said serresse. rookie guards shamar Burrows and Mat- thew Minutillo are others serresse is excited to see mature through their four-to-five years at the usports level. For Kokko, he's excited for the future. "since we're so young, lots of guys are play- ing and getting experience, so two or three years from now, it's going to be a lot easier for us. soon, we'll be able to do what the top teams are doing to us, but to other teams." Tevaun Kokko, right, is the second in rookie scoring and eighth overall in Ontario University Athletics. He is part of a key group of rookies around which Laurier hopes to build. AdAm jAcKsOn pHOTO
