The annual event in Ohio during the last week of July is a showcase for high school aged players to be scouted by some of the best schools south of the border. The 300 players were in- vited after they impressed coaches at the USA Junior National Michigan/Canada International All-State High School Basketball Competi- tion, the top amateur high school basketball competi- tion in the United States, in December. In Ohio, Fry competed in a week-long competitive pool play tournament and a double-elimination National championship tournament against the best from other states and Canada. He was one of 30 MVPs. Coaches see Fry, who turned 18 earlier this month,as a tough competitor who uses his diminutive size hes 5 7 and incredible quickness to surprise op- ponents who often initially misjudge him. Acton High School coach Spike Adams described Fry, who was named male Athlete of the Year for 2006-07, as a tremendously short and incredibly quick player who creates offensive openings, makes plays happen and never gives up with his infec- tious enthusiasm. Although his team did not play well at the tournament it was eliminated on the fourth day Fry excelled, and had a triple double in one game with 16 points, 14 assists and 11 steals. It was definitely some of the highest calibre basket- ball Ive ever played and it was also fun, Fry said on Sunday. I played the best I could, I played some of the best Ive played ever, so I did alright, he said, adding having his mother and grandparents there made it easier. Fry said although all of the players knew there were scouts and coaches from big name colleges in the stands and that they were being scrutinized, it was not overt and the players were told that some of them should expect letters of interest in the com- ing weeks. Fry will play for the Acton High School Bearcats this fall, and would like to think his skills on and off the court will lead to a scholarship and a basketball career the NBA is a dream. Thats still pretty far away, but Im definitely do- ing something right. Ill just have to wait to see what the future brings, Fry said. Frys trip to the Junior Na- tionals in Ohio may well not have been possible without a fund-raising campaign by himself and his mother, han- dled by Acton High School. Fry and his family are gra teful for $1 ,600 i n generous donations from Scotiabank, the Kinette Club, Absolute Martial Arts, TD Canada Trust, Beatty Foods, Leathertown Tavern, Robert Fellows Stables, McKenzie & Chapman, Superior Glove, Staying Alive Fitness, the Rotary Club of Acton, Dar- lene Kuhn, Randy and Sandy Fry, Maria Richardson and Gary Sherman. With only nine Acton players on the field, due to va- cations and injuries, the young ladies still managed to play the Georgetown 1 team to a 1 - 1 draw in 30 degree plus tem- peratures at the high school last Thursday. Georgetown not only had its full complement of 11 on the field but also had three players in reserve. Acton opened the scoring early on Jessica Petkoffs first goal of the season, soon after Georgetown replied on a goal by Janelle Stanzeleit. The Acton nine somehow had enough energy left to keep their opponents at bay in the second half to preserve their undefeated season record at 7 wins and 3 draws. This was truly a spirited effort and each and everyone of these girls should be very proud of their accomplish- ments.
