Staying home was ‘best situation’ for Sarai in signing with Wolfpack
KAMLOOPS — Nick Sarai starred on South Kam’s historic AAA boys basketball team that captured the school’s first championship last month, and he hopes to do the same at TRU, officially signing on with the school on Wednesday.
“It will be a dream come true,” said the championship MVP who scored 28 points in the Titans’ final victory. “Always watching the Wolfpack games and seeing all the alumni play and now getting the chance to suit up in a game like that, play in front of my parents and friends, it’s going to be surreal.”
Sarai looked at his options, visiting UBC Okanagan’s Kelowna campus during spring break. But the thought of staying in Kamloops, where he was born and raised, made it too hard to leave.
“I don’t think moving out of town will be the best situation for me as of right now,” he said. “Staying in town and still getting to play in front of my parents was the best.”
