Flintoft Tri-Star Rural Athlete of the week

From Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association

Alison Flintoft of the Neepawa Tigers girl’s basketball team is this week’s Tri-Star Rural High School athlete of the week.

Flintoft, a 5’5” point guard and captain, led her team to win the Consolation Championship at the “AA” Provincial Championships in Teulon. She has been named to two tournament All-Star teams this season averaging 14 points, 7 steals, and 8 rebounds per game. “Alison’s understanding of the game and ability to pass this understanding onto others has made her a valuable asset to our program” says Coach Kerri Hayhurst. “She provides leadership all of the time both on and off the floor.”

This grade 12 athlete also plays soccer and is a member of Neepawa’s Youth Advisory Committee while still maintaining a 92% academic average.
