Delaney Bourget is a 5’9” sharpshooting point guard with great leadership, court sense and the ability to set up her teammates for easy baskets. Bourget will need to be steady for the Knights throughout the season competing against Ontario’s top talent.

The Knights are comprised primarily of members of their 2017 OFSAA bronze medalist squad, but have added new recruits Kyanna Thompson and Aneisha Rismond to the roster. The team from Sudbury have proven they can compete with the best schools in Southern Ontario in OFSAA, but joining the OSBA provides a new set of challenges. The Knights are looking to build a strong foundation for their program and for their new future as part of the OSBA.
