We had an exciting weekend in Langley with our Norkam Junior Boys who were able to play in the Provincial Basketball Tournament! Considering that we only went down with 8 players, 7 of whom could play, we were happy with how hard they worked! They didn't get a lot of rest time and we had a couple of hurt ankles although our boys played through them. We ended up playing 5 teams, 2 games on Wednesday and 1 every day after that and we won 2 and lost 3. But the team had a wonderful banquet, went to the Fun Castle in Abbotsford, swam in the hotel pool every day and pretty much ate all the fries that Red Robin would give them so they sure had fun! I'm especially grateful for their 3 coaches, Mantej, Bryan and George who have spent many hours practising and helping them with their game this year. It was a wonderful basketball season full of memories...
Here are some highlights of the 5 games...the Langley Event Centre was fun to take pictures in!
I have been upset all day thinking about not having our Daily News paper anymore!! I love our daily paper and can't believe Glacier Media just shut them down in a week. My heart goes out to all those people that lost their jobs this week. We delivered that paper for 12 years…..read it, wrote in it, and looked for our kids in it. It has been a part of our life Don and I, for 12 years as we read the news and funnies and did the mixed up word scramble and crosswords together. I've been grateful for the letters of mine that they've printed and the sports stories that I've sent in.
I do read news online occasionally, but nothing will replace the local newspaper in my hands in the morning. I loved the Daily News. I'm in deep mourning today…..
