Three months of hard work culminated with the Richmond Zone 5 team winning bronze in the boys basketball competition at the B.C. Summer Games in Abbotsford.
This past spring, the boys were fortunate to be coached by Joey Dhillon, Bill Hannah, Brian Meier and Jason Lewis. They trained three times per week since April, and competed in tournaments in Langley, SFU, and Lynden, Washington. They also a team camp at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA in mid-July.
In Abbotsford, the boys reached the semi-finals before falling to the eventual gold medalist in an all Vancouver-Coastal zone match-up. Richmond then bounced back Sunday morning to defeat Vancouver Island by four points and secure a spot on the podium.
The future looks bright for all these players. The roster included: Nicholas Berda, Arjun Pawar, Jonathan Downton, Tre Rhodes, Apaar Sahota, Oscar Lam, Daniel Oglive, Keith Wong, Bill Liu and Jackie Nguyen.
