Testimonials
Jermaine Haley officially enters his name into the 2020 NBA Draft. A proud moment for friends, family and our DRIVE community. Proud of you Jermaine & wishing you luck. Keep working hard, achieving your goals and reaching your dreams. 🙏🔥🇨🇦🏀 #DriveFam
A job well done. S/O to our DRIVE legend Jermaine Haley on a fantastic College career. Jermaine made an NCAA appearance in a solid freshman season at New Mexico State then went on to star at Odessa Jr. College where he was All-Conference for a star studded Nationally ranked JUCO squad. He then went on to a remarkable two year run at high major West Virginia where he started 54 games and had countless standout performances. This would have been his 2nd NCAA tournament appearance for a team that spent most of the season in the AP top 25. At WVU, Jermaine played well in so many Big 12 games including a signature game winning shot vs Kansas and a great performance under the lights at Madison Square Garden. Jermaine played at one of the highest levels a BC kid ever has and inspired us all. Congrats on a great College career Maine, you made us all proud. As always, supporting you as you move on to the next step. 🐐🙏🔥🇨🇦 #DriveFam #StandingOvation

Congratulations to one of our all-time greatest players @jameswoods1193 for committing to the University of Calgary. Calgary is a perennial powerhouse in Canada and recently won the National Championship in 2018. James is coming off a very successful two year run at Central Wyoming Jr. College where he was recently named All-Region. He chose Calgary over many options both in 🇨🇦 and the 🇺🇸. He will have three years to play at the U of C. We are proud of you James and know that you are going to be awesome for the Dino’s. Keep inspiring us while pushing and reaching your goals. 🙏🇨🇦🔥🏀 #DriveFam #BoyWonder

It was a special Gr. 11 HS season for Justin Sunga! 🙏🔥🇨🇦🏀 #DriveFam
Via Varsity Letters: Grade 11 point guard Justin Sunga, the day-in, day-out conscience of the team throughout its four-day, four-win run here at the 2020 B.C.’s, was once again also its engine.
The 5-foot-10 Sunga broke pressure, managed tempo, never wasted his free throw trips, hit threes, got steals, and dished dimes.
Then, during the post-game award ceremonies... it became clear who the tournament’s deserving MVP was going to be.
And in keeping with his character, once it was made official, Sunga got up, either slapped palms or shook hands with every one of his teammates and then embraced his coaches with hugs before finally accepting the grand, gold-encrusted goblet once hugged and hoisted by the likes of Lars Hansen, Steve Nash, Kelly Olynyk and Rob Sacre.
Huge congrats to @justinsunga_ who capped off a dominant Gr. 11 season by winning the BC 4A Championship and garnering the top individual award of the 2019-2020 season, the Provincial MVP.
Justin joins a list of so many great players and will forever be remembered in the record books. Great job Justin. A special talent and player! 🙏🔥🇨🇦🏀 #DriveFam #MVP 🏆

@d.parolin capped off a sensational Sr. HS season by scoring 50p and leading Centennial to a 5th place finish in the 4A BC Championships. Dom was named 1st Team All-Star! Congrats on a great season Dom and we are excited for your future! 🙏🔥🇨🇦🏀 #DriveFam
Wishing a happy Sr. Day to DRIVE legend @jermainehaley10. What an incredible journey it has been for Jermaine. A young phenom dominating AAU to excelling in the Big 12 Conference for West Virginia.

We are proud of all your accomplishments Jermaine and couldn’t be happier to see the player and person you have become. Congrats on such an amazing career so far and wishing you continued success. You are the man! 🙏🇨🇦🔥🏀 #DriveFam
