Caledonia Gladiators delivered an emphatic 100–85 victory over the Surrey 89ers on the road at Surrey Sports Park, showcasing a high-tempo offensive display and balanced team performance.

From the opening tip, Caledonia’s efficiency from the field set the tone — shooting an impressive 63% overall, including 66% from beyond the arc. The Gladiators’ relentless attacking rhythm saw them build a strong lead midway through the second quarter and maintain control throughout.

Kevin Allen was unstoppable in the paint, finishing with 21 points and 7 rebounds, while Ethan Wright added 17 points, combining sharp shooting and defensive effort. Ria’n Holland chipped in with 13 points, and Jett Speelman contributed 14, providing key baskets during the Gladiators surges. Off the bench, Matthew Ragsdale impressed again with 15 points from behind the arc, further strengthening the Gladiators’ depth.

The visitors dominated the assist column (22–14), with crisp ball movement unlocking Surrey’s defence. The Gladiators composure from the free-throw line (84%) and accuracy from deep (66%) were major difference-makers. Despite Surrey’s push in the third and fourth quarters, the Gladiators’ collective defensive effort and rebounding presence kept the hosts at bay.

The result marks an important bounce-back victory for the Gladiators and their first win of the 2025-26 Championship campaign, carrying momentum and confidence into next week’s fixtures. The Gladiators will return home this Friday against the Bristol Flyers.
