My Story
Nyce came to WCT as a shy 14 year old, with size 18 shoes who was looking to sharpen up his game and gain some confidence. He quickly began to blossom on the court and gained his first bit of exposure when he was identified by Dwayne Washington at a Uplay ID camp that we were hosting. He would go on to win a BC Sr Boys AA Provincial Championship at King George SS as well as being named MVP while only being in grade 9.
Nyce continued to sharpen his skills playing against the top talent in the world in the EYBL circuit with Uplay Canada. He would then go on to play 2 yrs of prep school at Phelps Academy in Pennsylvania, before spending one season at Bella Vista Prep.
