Great to see Bob O'Connor at a high school girls basketball game

The mayor went to a high school girls basketball game. That's great. I've been to a lot of high school sports events -- this year and in the past.

He saw a quarter final game. Just as today, the USA Hockey team plays Finland for a quarter final. There are eight teams in the mix.

The score.... 71 to 37.


Ask yourself why do the kids shoot at each other -- as they have hardly a thing to shoot for in the sporting life within the city league.

The city league is at the root of the problems as to what we need to fix. I'll fix this.

There was a game in past years when LANGLEY scored but 4 points in a girls HS playoff game.

Nobody wins then.

Hi.... again.... I did update the blog post here -- a bit. I had the right score to the game in one part and had it wrong in another. And, I was corrected at the meeting with a call from an audience member.

Then I did a double check and saw my error. Thanks for the pointers D.
