Saturday, March 12: Canton Charge vs. Austin Spurs
After his 10-day deal with the Dallas Mavericks ended and he was not signed to a second contract, Quinn Cook returned to Canton and came off the bench in a 104-101 win. John Holland lead the Charge with 29 points on 9-16 shooting. Kay Felder added 25 points and Cook added 13 points and 3 assists off the bench.

Sunday, March 13: Canton Charge vs. Rio Grande Valley Vipers
On the same day the Cavs faced the Houston Rockets, the Charge faced the Rockets’ D-League affiliate. Just before the game, the team announced that Felder had been recalled by the Cavs, so Quinn Cook was inserted back into the starting lineup. He finished with 30 points and 9 assists, but also had 7 turnovers. Canton ultimately won by a final score of 120-116 for its seventh straight win. John Holland lead Canton with 36 points, 11 of which came from the free throw line.

Player of the Week
Kay Felder was again really good again this week. And John Holland had two really good performances. But Eric Moreland spent this week making his case for a call-up to the NBA - whether that’s with the Cavs or another team - and filling up the stat sheet.
It doesn’t look as if the Cavs will be calling him up, but he did about everything he could to get on the team’s radar.
At the very least, check out his 9 block performance from earlier this week:
