Barnard Cracks Roster At Queen'sNicole Barnard, a 2013 graduate of Southwood SS (Cambridge), has made the Queen's University women's basketball roster this coming season via tryout.
Barnard is a well-rounded player who was one of the top CIS prospects from the WCSSAA Senior Girls' circuit last season (see link here for one of her more memorable exploits). Her shooting ability for a 6'+ forward makes her an attractive fit for a university program such as Queen's, who already have a handful of other CWOSSA alumni on their roster.
Congratulations, Nicole!
Elgadi Heads To Brock
Dani Elgadi is our most recent commitment to report as he inked with Brock University in late August.
The 6'7" WCI product had several CIS courters (particuarly out East & West), but chose to stay closer to home with the Badgers. He joins 6'1" PG, and Waterloo Wildhawk teammate Josh Johnson (Holy Trinity/Simcoe) as Brock's two CWOSSA recruits of the 2013 class.
Van Leeuewen Ranked #4 in Canada
The Crown Girls' Basketball website has ranked Brantford St. John's PG Kendra Van Leeuwen as the #4 overall player in Canada for the girls' high school class of 2016.
Van Leeuwen had a great summer, leading Team Ontario to a Gold Medal at the Ontario Summer Games. She's heading into grade 10 where she'll be playing her second season for the SJC Senior Green Eagles.
Van Leeuwen's older sister, Kelly, is heading into her junior season at NCAA D-1 Niagara University (her older Brother, Tyler, is a freshman at Niagara on the Cross Country team).
