Canada knocked off Tunisa before losing to China and France. The French team recorded the best record in the series, going 3-0.
Canada will open the 2005 FIBA World Championship in Nabeul, Tunisa against the host Tunisians on July 15.
John, who attended The Stoneleigh-Burnham School, a prep institution in Greenfield, MA, was a member of the junior national team last year and helped the squad qualify for the FIBA U-19 World Championship for the first time. She averaged 7.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game in last year's qualification tournament and had a team-best 13 rebounds in Canada's bronze-medal victory over Brazil.
At Stoneleigh-Burnham, John averaged 14.7 points and 10.9 rebounds per game in her senior year and was a 2005 New England Preparatory Council "A" All-Star. In her final year at Agincourt, she was named to the Toronto Sun Second Team and the Toronto Star All-City Team.
