Burnaby’s Jacey Bailey was among the 17 athletes selected for the under-18 women’s national basketball team tryouts and training camp, ongoing now until July 8 in Toronto.
One of two B.C. players to receive invitations, Bailey a 5-foot-11 forward who can also play guard, graduated this month from Burnaby Mountain Secondary.
This is the third time Bailey has attended the u18 invitation camp, with this gathering being the focus point from where a 12-woman roster will be announced to compete at the U18 FIBA Americas, July 13 to 17 in Chile.
It’s part of an incredible senior season for the teen, which saw her pump up her scholarship credentials with a 55-point game in February, that featured 12 treys. She committed to Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
“We’re looking forward to working with this group,” said u18 national women’s coach Carly Clarke. “It will be a competitive camp as we look to put together the best team to compete at the FIBA Americas in Chile and qualify for the 2017 U19 world championships.”
