TOP SCORERS
Derek Nesbitt has 40 points (22G, 18A) on the season, and continues to lead Atlanta in scoring after adding 12 points to his season total during January action. The 33-year old Nesbitt is the only Gladiator to break the 40 point mark, one of three that have tallied more than 30 for the season. Gary Nunn (34 points/ 8G, 26A) and Thomas Frazee (32 points/ 7G, 25A) are the other skaters on the roster with 30+ points. Brock Higgs (29) and Tyler Murovich (27) should join Nesbitt, Nunn, and Frazee in the 30+ group soon.
