The MVP
honorees
split a $500
scholarship
from the
Joyce
Washington
Classic
I plan on using this money for extra necessities because I have
already received a full ride scholarship to California State University
Long Beach. The opportunity presented before me is truly amazing and
I am truly grateful for it. Playing basketball is my passion and I am
extremely blessed to be receiving this scholarship. It is a great feeling
know that people are cheering for you and supporting you.
--Martina McCowan
Playing in the Joyce Washington All-Star Classic game was a special
experience for me because it gave me the opportunity to be apart of
tradition in the basketball community of Portland. The Joyce Washington
All Star Classic provides an opportunity for the young talented athletes
of Portland to showcase their skills while having a good time. This game
was especially important to mark the end of my high school basketball
career. Next year I will be attending WSU to play division one basketball.
