Jan 20, 2024 | 2:15 PM

KAMLOOPS – The Thompson Rivers WolfPack men’s basketball’s head coach Chad Jacobson announced Charlie McKay as the first addition to the 2024-25 team.

“From the first time I met Charlie I’ve been very impressed with not only his ability as a basketball player, but as a person,” said Jacobson. “He is an extremely hard worker both on the court and in the classroom and will represent our program the right way. His ability to shoot the basketball alongside his toughness and competitiveness will prove to make a positive impact for our team.”

The six-foot-three guard is a product of the South Kamloops Secondary and is described as an unselfish player on the court, who is always trying to make himself and his teammates better.

“”My favourite part of the game is creating in general, not just creating my own shot but just being able to create on the floor and make things happen,” said McKay.

McKay has his eyes on a deep run at the provincial championships with the Titans and plans on studying arts or business at TRU.
