Another standout local athlete is staying North to live out her basketball dream.
UNBC Timberwolves head coach Sergey Shchepotkin announced today (Wednesday) that soon-to-be College Heights Secondary graduate Summer Toor has signed with the Women’s Basketball program, beginning in 2025-26.
Toor, a 5’6” shooting guard” is in the midst of her final season with the Cougars. Additionally, Toor is playing club basketball with the Bounce Sports Academy and head coach Jordan Yu.
She’s a two-time City All-Star and a three-time City champion, and averaged 15 points-per-game and 4.5 threes-per-game during the 2024 Provincials.
“I chose UNBC because it’s in my hometown. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to play at the highest level in my hometown and I’m very excited to start playing at UNBC,” shared Toor who gained a love for basketball at a young age from her mother who also played at a high level.
Sergey Shchepotkin’s coaching also factored heavily into Toor’s decision to commit.
“Sergey is a good coach. I’ve watched a lot of the games and I like his way of coaching,” noted Toor whose three-point shot, speed and passing are the biggest strengths of her game. “He definitely noticed a good part of my game when he was watching me play in high school, so I’m looking forward to playing for him.”
“Summer is one of the top local players in her age group, and we’re excited to have her committed to play for her hometown team,” added Shchepotkin. “She’s a natural, confident shooter and has a great understanding for the game. She’ll be a welcomed addition to our backcourt for the coming seasons.”
