Lancers bring in Handsworth Royal WR

Windsor welcomes and out-of-province commit to their Class of 2017.

Balancing school and sport can be a difficult task, but if youā€™re like Leon Kyoya, a wide receiver from the Handsworth Secondary School, you will find a way to make both your aspirations come true.

Kyoya may fly around the field, but now he will have a chance to learn how to control an actual aircraft while taking Aeronautic Leadership at Windsor. ā€œI chose to go to Windsor because the coaches cared for my education. Going into aeronautics/aviation, you have a rigorous time schedule. But, they were willing to work around my schedule,ā€ he said.

ā€œThe coaches are great. They really care about you on and off the field. Head Coach Dā€™Amore is a great guy and I feel like I can really be successful at the University of Windsor,ā€ Kyoya added.

The former Handsworth Royal (BC Secondary Schools Football Association) was also impressed with the teamā€™s current players. ā€œIt felt like it was one big brotherhood there, which appealed to me greatly,ā€ he said.

Standing at 6ā€™0, 195lbs, Kyoya has had the chance to represent his province on a few occasions. In 2014, he was a Royals team MVP. In 2012 and 2016, he was awarded the Joe Bell award. He was also a Red River Cup MVP and won an International Bowl game against Team USA while with Team BC.
