“We are very pleased Siera has decided to
join our Wesmen program. She is very athletic, dominates the boards and
brings a real competitive edge to our team. She will make a great
addition”, said Tanya McKay, Head Coach University of Winnipeg Women’s
Basketball program.
“Siera had a tremendous impact on the
2009-10 Oak Park Raiders, helping them reach the 2010 Provincial AAAA
Finals. Siera was the leading scorer and rebounder on the team.
Throughout the year Siera demonstrated outstanding growth both on and
off the court. We look forward to watching that growth continue as she
moves forward with her basketball career with Coach McKay at the
University of Winnipeg. Playing in front of her friends and family will
be a great opportunity for Siera. We see a bright future for Siera at
the U of W where she will join Oak Park grads Amy Ogidan and Alyssa
Grant on the 2010-11 edition of the Wesmen”, added Murray Brown, Oak
Park High School Varsity Girl’s Basketball Head Coach.
