The Urban High School Athlete of the Week is Chris Turner of the Westwood Warriors basketball team.
This forward for the Warriors averaged 37 points per game in a seven-game stretch. In that 7 game stretch he had 3 games over 40 points, highlighted by a 53-point performance. He led the Warriors to a Provincial AAAA JV Basketball Championship berth and the championship of the Warriors home tournament. Athletic Director Brian Schmeichel states, "A couple of key injuries have forced Chris to take on a greater roll offensively and defensively for the team. He has definitely accepted this challenge and then some. Chris is extremely coachable and a great teammate."
In Grade 10, he maintains an A average.
