A Summerland basketball player is on the watch list for the All Canadian Games.

Dezi Ducheck, a Grade 12 student at Summerland Secondary School, is on the list of players from across the country, vying for a spot on the team.

Three rounds of voting will narrow the list to the top 24 players.

Ducheck, a point guard, has been playing basketball seriously since he was in Grade 8 and is now working to pursue the sport.

He said his love of the game came after watching NBA action.

He added that many of the players on the list at present are from sports academies or basketball academies across Canada. In contrast, he is from a small public school.

Ducheck and other basketball players on the list were nominated by a selection committee. The committee consists of basketball stakeholders.

Those selected to the games will travel to the Athlete Institute in Orangeville, Ont. to work with Canadian coaches and trainers.

The games are an NBA-sanctioned event. They will be held in early April.
