The six-foot-two Crestwood Prep standout has attracted fans and NCAA scouts with her high-flying talent, and has the Paris Olympics on her list of goals.

In Thursday’s win, she finished with 17 points and nine rebounds along with a couple of blocks and assists, helping the Lions inch closer to first place in the Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association.

“They took a look at Toby and a few months in, one of the coaches told me, ‘Your daughter is going to be one of the best players in the country,’” dad Craig said. Today, those lists include finishing high school, playing for Canada at the 2024 Olympics and going to college. Already a member of the national under-17 team, Fournier has attended a couple of training camps with the senior nationals and has been invited to return.

“Toby is a phenomenal athlete,” says Canadian under-17s coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “So exciting for a coach to see a young woman setting such high athletic standards, such as dunking in an international competition.”
