Featured Athlete of the Week – Alannah Yates – Sherwood

Alannah Yates is definitely a triple threat!  From Grade 9 to her current grade 11 year she has played on, and been a star on both junior and senior  basketball and and junior and senior volleyball teams. She has been an integral member of the varsity soccer team helping us capture Division 2 titles.  Just to keep herself a little busier she also played tennis, co-ed volleyball, ran track and field and is a member of the Student Athletic Council.  She can also be seen working as a Peer Tutor in our Basketball Focus class sharing her skills and knowledge with the grade 9 class. School athletics aside Alannah spends time on the court, outside of school, playing U19 Triple A basketball and until recently was a member of an OYSL Rep soccer team.  She balances all of these athletic commitments with her job at The Keg.  All of this has not been a smooth run for Alannah along the way she has battled concussion symptoms as well as torn ankle ligament, this type of adversity has made her even stronger.  She has one other special talent and that is remixing songs and acting as our DJ. Alannah has big plans for the future she would like to take either Kinesiology or Athletic Therapy post- secondary and hopes to secure a basketball scholarship at the same time.  Sherwood is proud to have Alannah represent us; she is a true Sherwood Saint!
