Don't do a double take at the title.......we're not talking about the WCSSAA MVP here.Yesterday, Resurrection CSS senior team captain Melissa Bowden was named the female winner of the Mike Moser Scholarship Award, an award presented annually (since 1976) by the Kitchener-Waterloo Basketball Officials to one male and one female basketball player in the K-W area who have played at a high level, shown academic excellence and made contributions to the community.
"Melissa is very deserving of the recognition," said Rez senior girls coach Matt Kras, "she has been the team captain for the last two years on the Senior Girls basketball team at Resurrection, showing great dedication, a positive attitude and excellent sportsmanship in that time. She has been a member of the Athletic Council, a leader on Phoenix Friends and was awarded the Kitchener Youth Action Council award from the city, along with a YMCA Peace Medallion for her work with our school WAYVE team, dedicated to resolving conflict and injustices in our community."
Past recipients over the past handful of years have included Jack Fleming (CHCI), Rebecca Moss (BCI), Kyle Mack (WCI) and Teddi Firmi (GRCI).
