Forward Kira Atherley has signed on with Lancer women’s basketball.
Lancer women’s basketball 2023 recruiting class features three players hailing from the tri-county area: Holy Names Catholic High School grad Leah Tate; Kira Atherley, transferring home from St. Francis Xavier University; and Corunna native Teighan Stoukas.
The Windsor and Essex County Secondary School Athletic Association named Tate, a five-foot-10 guard, its top female athlete from a large school after she led the Knights to their first provincial silver medal in basketball and provincial gold in soccer — earning all-star honours in both sports.
A five-foot-nine forward, Atherley comes to Windsor with two years of university experience in Nova Scotia and is an alumna of the Windsor St. Clair Juel prep team.
Stoukas, a five-foot-six point guard, earned most valuable player honours all four of her high school years.
