Former Wolfpack Gore playing for home country
KAMLOOPS — Months after he played out his CIS eligibility with the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack, Gerard Gore is again experiencing high level basketball.
Gore is currently a member of the Antigua and Barbuda National team which is playing in Centrobasket 2016. The tournament is a qualifier for the 2020 Olympics.
“I knew the tournament was coming up so I came home to practice with the squad in order to make the team,” said Gore, who is a native of St. John’s Antiqua. “It was a struggle to get my body ready since I only played a half season for TRU this past year. But, with no school, I was able to train hard three times a day in order to get my body prepared. I took the momentum of a successful season into tryouts and it helped me get a competitive edge.”
