Fil-Can Basketball’s Matthew Daves Gets US Scholarship



By Manuel Papa
Toronto-Canada
August 14, 2016

 
 


He started playing basketball at an early age. Gifted with a towering height, spring on his legs and a soft touch from the outside, he has led various championship teams. He was a member of Team Ontario that won the Gold medal at the 2015 Canadian National Championships. 

He was also a member of Team Canada Crossover that played at SM NBTC National High School Championships in Manila last March 2016. During the tournament he was chosen to play for the All Star Selection and was a finalist in the Slam Dunk competition. He has gained lots of interest and offers to play for universities and colleges in the Philippines, as well.

The Filipino-Canadian community wishes Matthew the best on his new journey.
