They listen, they show up to practice and they go to classes.” Humber led 27-20 after one quarter and 46-44 at the half. Mohawk led 67-64 after three quarters. Bello tossed in a trio of three-point baskets in a row when Mohawk fell behind by nine points in the first half. “It’s a huge accomplishment,” Jonker said. “It means a lot to the basketball community around here. The amount of phone calls, texts and emails I received in the first 12 hours was over 100 … from people I haven’t talked to in a long time. It’s pretty special.” Jonker added that “we don’t win the championship without Manny (Campbell). He runs the show at point guard. He does everything — rebounds, scores, distributes the ball and controls the tempo of the game. A very deserving MVP.” Jonker also praised the rebounding prowess of 6-9 Taylor Dowhaniuk and 6-6 Andrew Cicuttini. “They do a great job on the boards. Dowhaniuk, defensively, changes the way games are played by the other team. He’s the best defensive player in our league (the leader in blocks, with 45). … I guess you’re always surprised when you haven’t done it before. But we thought we were in a good spot going in. It was a fantastic game. Back and forth. I thought our ability to push the ball at them and create easy scoring opportunities was probably a big part of the difference.” Aminu Bello paced the Mountaineers with 33 on 11-19 from the floor, 5-9 from the arc, 6-8 from the line and 6 boards.
