Stephanie has developed a complete game of basketball and is a deserving recipient.

2010 Diana Lee (Handsworth and Boise State Univ.) Kris Young (Handsworth and U.B.C)

The presentation of the 2010 Quinn Keast Foundation Scholarship to both Diana and Kristjana was very fitting recognition to an amazing duo that played together for the last five years at Handsworth and have enjoyed sensational high school careers with the Royals.  Both Diana and Kris were four year Seniors at Handsworth and both have two AAA Girls Provincial titles and a AAA Provincial Championship MVP on their list accomplishments. Diana showed tremendous courage and determination throughout the 2010 tournament, playing with a fracture in her ankle which was diagnosed after the final game.  Her court leadership was exceptional throughout the tournament.  Kris proved to be a challenging matchup for everybody she faced as she seemed to be able to get to the basket at will when she was not hitting shots from the perimeter.  She was awarded MVP honours at the 2010 tournament capping off a great tournament with 25 points and 13 rebounds in the tournament final against Oak Bay.

 

2009 Bethan Chalke (Handsworth and Bishop's Univ.) 

2009 was the inaugural year of the Quinn Keast Foundation Scholarship at the AAA Girls Provincial Championship and it was only fitting that is was awarded to Bethan Chalke of the Handsworth Royals.  Bethan was a co-captain of the Provincial Champion Handsworth Royals and was selected to the First All-Star Team at this years' tournament, averaging 12 points and 8 rebounds per game.  Bethan was undersized relative to her opponents but played with heart and intensity throughout the tournament, doing all the little things that make a team successful.
