Class of 2028 Joshua Mighty Muamba Kayembe — NDL (D1 Scholastic)
25 PTS, 22 REB, 3 AST, 1 STL, 2 BLK vs Henri-Bourassa
Kayembe’s performance was one of the most imposing displays of dominance all session. From the opening tip, he controlled the paint on both ends — sealing deep, finishing with force, and overwhelming smaller matchups anytime the ball came near the rim. Offensively, he showed patience and maturity, choosing high-percentage shots instead of forcing difficult attempts. His footwork and balance created clean looks, and once he established position, there was little the defense could do.
Defensively, Kayembe completely changed how Henri-Bourassa ran their offense. His shot-altering presence forced opponents to settle for perimeter shots or rush finishes. His rebounding was the difference-maker — 22 boards is a number that reflects motor, discipline, and pure physical dominance. Every time NDL needed a momentum-shifting play, Kayembe provided it, anchoring one of the most complete two-way performances of the entire weekend.
Class of 2029 Gabri-El Disanka — NDL (D1 Junior Boys)
43 PTS, 18 REB, 2 STL, 2 BLK vs Dynastie (JR)
Disanka’s 43-point, 18-rebound masterpiece was one of the most dominant junior performances of the year. He took over the game physically, overpowering defenders inside while also showing surprising finesse on finishes. Every touch felt threatening, and Dynastie had no answer for his interior presence.
His defensive impact was equally strong — controlling the glass and protecting the rim. Disanka’s ability to completely dictate a matchup on both ends showcased the makings of a high-ceiling prospect.
Class of 2028 Eliakim St-Elmire — Henri-Bourassa (D1 Scholastic)
18 PTS, 4 REB, 5 AST, 3 STL vs NDL
St-Elmire delivered one of the most polished two-way guard performances of the entire Scholastic division. Against a physical and disciplined NDL squad, he played with poise and maturity — never rushing, never forcing, and making smart reads possession after possession. His 18 points came from a balanced mix of drives, mid-range touch, and confident perimeter shooting, but what stood out even more was his playmaking. St-Elmire consistently broke down the first line of defense, collapsed help, and created open looks for teammates with precision. His command in the pick-and-roll and his ability to shift pace made Henri-Bourassa’s offense flow through him naturally.
Defensively, St-Elmire set the tone with toughness and discipline. His 3 steals were the result of excellent anticipation — reading passes early and turning defense into transition opportunities. He battled on the glass, competed on switches, and stayed locked in during key moments. His combination of scoring, facilitating, and disruptive defense made him one of the most complete guards on the floor all weekend.

His ability to attack off the bounce, finish through physicality, and generate second-chance opportunities made him the engine of Ottawa Elite Gold’s offense. Even with heavy defensive attention, he stayed composed, played off two feet, and picked apart the defense with timely scoring bursts.
What truly elevated Strachan Patrick’s performance was his playmaking and versatility. His 6 assists were not simple kickouts — they were advanced reads, delivered out of post touches, short-roll actions, and transition pushes. Defensively, he made winning plays all night, using his length to contest shots and his motor to hit the glass on both ends. His 15 rebounds (including 11 on the defensive end) demonstrated tremendous activity and positional discipline.
