Prior to arriving at Duke, Best helped Team Canada reach the finals of the Global Junior Championships in Tampa, Fla. Team Canada fell in the finals to the United States, 21-19. As a senior in high school, Best helped Western Canada to a 9-1 record, the Calgary city crown and a semifinal berth in the provincial playoffs.
