Lexi Corday, a fourteen-year-old grade eight student from the Summerland Middle School, has made the B.C. provincial U15 basketball team, made up of athletes who were born in 2002 or later.
The selection process involved over 100 girls trying out in six regions throughout B.C. from which 45 were sent to SuperCamp at Trinity Western University for 12 hours of tryouts over three days, with 12 players being selected to the team.
The team will compete in several tournaments, including the national championships in Regina from July 23 to July 29.
Corday played for the Summerland Secondary Grade 9 team this year, which finished sixth at the B.C. championships, where she was chosen as a provincial all-star.
She is the first female basketball player from Summerland to ever be named to a B.C. provincial basketball team.
