But his efforts are paying off as the girls team is not only having success on the court, but players have improved their self-confidence and even their committment to school.

Karen Etherington of Fort Albany’s Peetawabeck High School shows off her impressive defense during a game against Timiskaming District Secondary School. Peetabeck won that game against the heavily favoured Timiskaming girls, en route to going 6-0 in league play during the week. Their record earned the team a first place finish in their division and a place in the northeastern Ontario finals, and showed just how far the basketball program has come in six years since they started taking the sport seriously.
