Young Wheelchair Basketball Athletes Shine at Junior Challenge Festival

November 10/11 marked the 13th Annual Junior Challenge at McRoberts Secondary in Richmond.  Junior athletes from all over BC came out to show their skills on the court.

Still having the two divisions of 8 1/2 and 10ft we reduced the number of players on the court. read more...
