Senior Girls D3 Basketball
Athletes of the Week: Maria Casas Soto & Rosemary Lefebvre
A consistent contributor all season, Maria Casas Soto really stepped up her game, in the process helping her team win the BCS Invitational Bantam Tournament this past weekend.
Playing her best basketball of the season when it mattered most, this Grade 7 standout was an offensive threat, she ran the floor, she pressured on defence, and she was her team’s most aggressive rebounder. In fact, her performance was so good that she was named one of the Tournament All-Stars. Sweet and friendly off the court, but a fierce competitor on it, her team will be looking for another dominant performance from Maria at this weekend’s final highlight event, the RSEQ playoffs.
Simply put, Rosemary Lefebvre played the best basketball of her life this past weekend, helping lead her team to silver medals at the Bailly Small Schools Provincial Tournament in Quebec City. Throughout the tournament, this Grade 10 point guard was calm, cool and collected bringing up the ball; she finished beautifully on the fast break; AND she shot the lights out, especially from 3-pt land, scoring over 20 pts in back-to-back games. As one opposing coach was overheard saying, “Whenever #9 shoots, I just assume it’s going in.” Well, if Rosemary continues to play with the confidence and poise that she displayed at the A-B, there will be many more coaches who end up feeling the same way.
Congratulations to Maria and Rosemary, co-winners of this week’s Athlete of the Week!
