DeAndre’s Dominance

There is no doubt in any Hawks fans mind that this season has been filled with ups and downs. After two tough losses to Penn and LaSalle it looked as though St. Joe’s mediocre play would continue throughout the season. However, a huge win against Davidson now has people asking if it is possible for this team to make a comeback this season. Though the team has struggled there has been one true constant throughout, and that has been DeAndre Bembry.

Since the end of December DeAndre has become a different player. He has truly been the captain that St. Joe’s needed. This team was lacking leadership early in the season, and DeAndre has finally stepped up to become the star. Bembry has been given his second Big Five Player of the Week in a row. This season Bembry has averaged 17.8ppg and over the past five games he has averaged 23.6ppg. This team is starting to go in the right direction because of Bembry, his leadership and his scoring ability will help bring this team into the future.

If this team continues to play as they did against Davidson, they will be competitive the rest of the season. As DeAndre told us off air this past Friday, “I am serious about winning an A-10 Championship this season.” There is no doubt in my mind that Bembry will eventually win another A-10 Championship by the end of his time at SJU. DeAndre is truly determined to bring the trophy back to St. Joe’s and I will not be surprised if it is brought back sooner then later.
