The Beavercrest girls play for Jordan

Jordan had been the team’s assistant coach the year before. At the South-East Basketball Tournament the girls hung a poster of her in the gym, wore their “I love Jordan” t-shirts and wrote her jersey number on their hands. They came second overall, and it was obvious Jordan was there cheering them on.

The I ♥ Jordan t-shirt

Jordan’s friends designed and sold a t-shirt to raise money for the Memorial Fund. On her school trip, two weeks before she passed, Jordan searched high and low in Barcelona for a purple “I Love Barcelona” shirt. It was her favourite souvenir.
