2013 Centennial College Tournament Standouts
And finally, the 2014 and 2015 tournament standouts:
Class of 2014
Kimeshia Henry
Henry had several good attempts to the basket that eventually led to several trips to the line. She showed several moves to get to the hoop including showing that she could breakdown her defender and pull up, which opened up her game and allowed to her to have and open 3-point shot. She was a thorn in the side of opposing Guards by disrupting timing and she playing very good on the ball defence.
Brianne Cohen
Despite the challenges that York Memorial had throughout the tournament, it must be said that Cohen was a bright spot for her team. She competed well on both ends of the floor and even demonstrated a decent post up game. An obvious leader on her team, she not only led vocally but in her gameplay as well, consistently leading her team in scoring.
Kate Follis
Follis put up 24 points against the tournament’s eventual semi-finalists Notre Dame-Ajax, in her first game using a number of ways. She proved was able to get to the Free Throw line, where she shot 6-for-8 in the first half alone in that game. She also had the long ball going on, connecting on four 3-pointers and showing her long range ability. Although I would have liked to have seen her in the Post a bit more to make use of her long 6’1″ size and reach, it seemed as though her team’s make up required her to have the ball in her hands making decisions on the perimeter.
Class of 2015
Bridget Carleton
Bridget Carleton showed her versatility and many tools in a tight first game victory
against the St. Joseph-Wellesley Bears. Facing a tough defender in the Bear’s Dominique Maxwell, did a great job forcing Carleton into taking tough shots, she was still able to show her footwork with step back shots and using her size to get to the hoop. Carleton size and very good ball handle makes her a difficult match up. She showed the ability to get to the hoop against a very athletic defender. As well, she
really showed her ability to defend. She is more of an asset on the wing as defender. Lastly, she is not afraid of any moment that presented itself, and this type of leadership is what helped her to push her team to be a worthy adversary in their games.
Monique Calliste
Monique Calliste scored 35 of Mother Teresa 46 points against Loyola in her second game. Her tough nose attitude and willingness to fight for every position. Calliste showed heart and grit from opening tip to the last buzzer. Time after time she found way to get to the basket using very good poise and creativity while sacrificing her body for the punishment that was to be expected. Her quickness on offence put pressure on Loyola defence. She played very good on the ball defence against each guard she competed against.
Hayley Robertson
Robertson had to bring out her athleticism to deal with the quickness of the speedy Pickering guards. Her ability to breakdown defences
to make good decisions was tested against Pickering in their Quarter Final game. She had to deal with all four athletic guards on each play, and was equal to the task by setting up scoring possibilities for her teammates and having to deal with 90 feet of pressure.
Jaelyne Kirkpatrick
Kirkpatrick has continued her stellar play from the summer travelling to Centennial College High School Tournament. Loyola used Kirkpatrick sparingly in the first two games, however, her timely scoring and leadership was shining during the match up against Notre Dame (Ajax). Notre Dame (Ajax) was able to defend Kirkpatrick with two high level point guards. Kirkpatrick was still able to set up her teammates for easy baskets with timely passing. In the second half with Loyola trailing Kirkpatrick put the scoring on her back and took over the lead only to have it taken away from them during the later part of the game.
