Altona’s own Kate Sawatzky is one of the recipients of the Manitoba Pork Fuel Her Future Award, the Manitoba High School Athletic Association announced last week. The award is given to recognize exceptional performances by female student athletes. Sawatzky, who has played for the W.C. Miller Collegiate Aces for the past four years, was lauded as a leader for her team. She’s averaged 23.2 points a game on 60 per cent shooting, 14 rebounds, and four blocks. According to her coach, basketball is won as a team, and Kate is the motor that runs the ship.
