AMBER BECHARD: REPORTING FROM BARCELONA, SPAIN
Barcelona, SPAIN: The Humber Hawks women's basketball team will travel to Spain in August to participate in a number of workouts and exhibition games against many of the top teams in the country.
Humber will play Sant Adria (Barcelona) and Lima Horta (Barcelona) from the Second Pro league and CTEIB (Centro De Tecnificación Islas Baleares) Basketball Academy (Balearic Islands). The actual dates for these games have not been released.
Amber Bechard, a fourth year Shooting Guard from Windsor, will present a blog starting with liftoff from the Pearson airport on August 22. Join her daily, as she brings results, images and more.
"Winning the national title and this trip will certainly be the highlights of my basketball career," said Bechard. "I am so excited to travel abroad with my teammates, and gain even more lasting memories."
The team, which returns at the end of August, will take back to the floor soon afterwards as tryouts for the 2016-17 squad will commence just a short time later in early September. They will be looking to add a third consecutive OCAA provincial crown, and another trip to the CCAA national championships.
WATCH FOR HER FIRST POST LATER THIS WEEK!
