@PB_Uncommitted 6-foot-4, 190-pounds Up close look at Zielinski’s BP rounds from this weekend. Aggressive move towards the ball, elevated to the big part of the field. Mature frame with strength that translated in-game all weekend.

Our new report finds BC’s frontline government social workers are understaffed, lacking training and unable to get timely access to community supports that hamper their ability to care for our most vulnerable young people. Read the report: https://t.co/MbvPmYtS7E

Before you write off this article and say “it’s just a grumpy old head”, maybe do some internal reflection and think about what Hyde’s is saying…..I know it made me think about what we need to do at our school and with our program. Fantastic as always. https://t.co/DvbLdKjHzq

Great junior boys battle last night at #SMUS between BC No. 2 Oak Bay and unranked SMUS. One- to four-point game the entire way with the teams constantly trading leads. Bays score on an inbounds play with one second left to win 59-58. @BCJrBoysBB @BCJrBoysBBall
