Jasmine Lafournaise of the Major Pratt Trojans volleyball team from Russell is this week’s Tri-Star Rural High School athlete of the week.

This 5’10” middle captained her team to 6 tournament finals winning two of them, the Rivers invitational and Beef & Barley tournament in Russell.  She also led her team to a silver medal at the Provincial “AA” Girls Volleyball Championship in Teulon, where she was named a Provincial All-Star and earned player of the game honours in their match against Souris.  Coach Cheri Totte states, “Jasmine has embraced her role as the captain and stepped up her level of play with each game.  She leads our team in blocking and is a favorite target for our setter as she is one of the team’s most consistent hitters”. 

In her grade 12 year she maintains an academic average of 80%, while also competing in basketball.
