Just as he does for his St. Patrick Irish in high school basketball, Marial Shayok was front and centre leading Team Canada at the June 29-July 8 FIBA U17 world championships in Lithuania.
Shayok was second on the team in minutes played and points scored with an average of 25 and 12 per game.
John McCrae Secondary School’s Chris McComber also played a significant role for the team that went 5-3 overall to finish in fifth place.
Former University of Ottawa Gee-Gees men’s basketball head coach Dave DeAveiro directed the team from the bench.
