“When I grew up, I always loved and play the basketball game. It is a great honor to be on the basketball court, ”said Bower, who also plays football in Delta.

“I would like to thank my coaches and teammates for the fact that he always urges me and wants the best out of me. It is a great and very special honor that I made it in the basketball record board of the Delta High School Boys. I am also looking forward to what the future has for me in my basketball career. “

“Tyson is a typical fitness rat. Always in the gym, it doesn't matter, to make shots or go to a local high school or college game, ”said Delta head coach Matt Brighton.

“He is really a student of the game, and it is great to see how all his hard work is rewarded. We are very satisfied with what Tyson has achieved this year, especially in the second year. Tyson is a great teammate and he deserves everything he gets through his hard work. “
