Falstaff helped the rise of DukeWBB's point guard Shayeann Day-Wilson. Shydw4 is CanBball's young star but is never forgetting her community. “30 Falstaff, that’s where I’m from. That’s where I grew up and I’m never going to forget that.”
Patrick Shaw, a former community recreational co-ordinator and mentor to Day-Wilson, remembers getting calls from the young player’s mother at 9 p.m. asking when her daughter would be coming home from the gym. Day-Wilson would get him to lie and say she was doing homework, but she had already finished it before stepping onto the court. They used to sit in his office for hours and watch tapes of Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson and Michael Jordan.
Her mother originally knew nothing about basketball, but saw how much her daughter loved it and began studying it herself. Knowing how late she was staying at the centre, she prepared dinner to drop off for her, while every morning waking up at 5 a.m. and travelling from the west end of the city to work at Woodbine racetrack.
Her initial reaction was confusion. She didn’t know what the diagnosis meant for her and her basketball career. Some of the symptoms included weight loss/gain, rapid heartbeat, increased appetite and anxiety.
