D8 Senior Girls' All-Stars: Salaad Named MVP

League sources have confirmed that St. Benedict's Afifa Salaad has been named MVP of the District 8 Senior Girls' Basketball League.

Salaad, a grade eleven point guard for the Saints, was one of the Saints' top scorers in most league games but was equally as impressive with her passing and assist totals.

She will be joined on the first-team by teammate Kayla Leusink, who is a first-team D8 Senior All-Star for the second consecutive season.

The D8 runner-up Resurrection Phoenix also have two members on the first team.  Grade 12 G/F Celia McGlynn, and Grade 11 G Rachel Engel are on the squad, alongside Grade 11 F Megan Goar from St. David.

Two other St. Benedict Saints were named as second team all-stars --- guards Julia Mascarenhas and Brighton Ching.  Guard Bobbi-Sue Hentges (St. David), Centre Kelsey Caza (Resurrection) and guard Kirsten Hofstee (Woodland) round out the second team selections.

The D8 senior all-stars will be playing the D10 all-stars tonight at Resurrection, at 8pm.  Admission is free.
