Hometown talent to be showcased as NCAA basketball comes to Vancouver
VANCOUVER — Louise Forsyth can’t wait to play basketball in front of a hometown crowd again.
Seeing family and friends in the stands is rare now that the Langley, B.C., native plays guard for the Gonzaga Bulldogs in Spokane, Wash.
But Forsyth expects many familiar faces in the crowd next week when she and her teammates head north to take part in the inaugural Vancouver Showcase. The tournament will see some of the world’s best collegiate basketball players face off over six days.
The 19-year-old guard was “so excited” to hear her team would be part of the event.
