When Angella Kisagala stumbled upon a chance to apply for a scholarship toward a skills trade grant in 2022, she submitted a 90-second video without thinking much of it. A few months later, she got a call to say she had been selected. The young mother thought it must be a scam. It wasn’t until she visited the Toronto East campus of the Skilled Trades College and filled out the necessary forms that she believed her dream was indeed coming true.

Jamal Shead had just posted a career-high 12 assists in a Raptors win over the Brooklyn Nets last Sunday, but he had some additional business to attend to.

Shead was excused from the team to watch his former college teammates on the Houston Cougars take on the Florida Gators in the March Madness championship game in San Antonio, Texas.

“We’ve got some dogs on this team with these young guys,” Barnes said Tuesday, before elaborating. Jamal Shead might have the second-most assists by a rookie in Raptors history (302, behind Damon Stoudamire at 653), but his defensive tenacity has impressed Barnes.

A balanced offence helped the Raptors pick up a win Sunday, 120-109 over the Nets in Brooklyn to snap a three-game losing streak. Coach Darko Rajakovic started three rookies, and the bench came through on an afternoon when no Raptor logged 30 minutes of action. Jonathan Mogbo led the way with his first career double-double: 17 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Ochai Agbaji added 15 points and three rebounds, and Jamal Shead had a career-high 12 assists.
