If he thinks differently this season, you will understand.

Oak Bay, Sanich’s Spectrum Thunder and Nanayyamo’s Doveer Bay Dolphins are the first three rank teams in the Quad A provincial rankings.

Thunder was number one in last week’s referendum, hitting the bays from the spot and beating a place 92-73 in a league match at home. Dolphins beat a place 3rd place.

They are three of the major competitors who won the provinces of the provinces of the Langli Events Center 5-8. However, one of those teams does not participate, however, there are only two berths for the event in their Vancouver Island Zone.

The contradictions that win and the entire match are not seen are perfect for dolphins, thunder and bay.

“I think the rules are legitimate. I have no complaints,” Franklin said, “The season of a person sometimes ends. The provinces are never the best -16 competition. This is not an invitation competition. This is about provincial representation. There is no politics. , You are going to progress.

“You are trying to win a provincial degree, but this is the celebration of sports and society, is it? Part of the game is a part of the game. It is just that. Everyone is coming together once. You have your zonal representative and they are giving their best efforts.”

The spectrum won the Quad A match last year, beat Surrey Tamanavis Wild Gates in the final. Oak bay came third after losing Tamanavis in the semifinals. The Dover Bay won the Triple A title, but the school population crashed up to Quad this year. How the layers are cut and BEarths to the provinces are handed over depending on how many teams in the province and how many you have in the zone. It all comes down to mathematics.

The game has tried to play door games between the competition zones for the final places in a provinces, but it is ripe for political and conflict on which teams are eligible to consider. There are additional costs and logistics by getting those extra games in a timely manner.

There have been odd advice for many years to abandon the teams from outer regions because they have not played enough schedule to be competitive, but it has never received significant drag.

Now the common thought process is that this is an average law – for many years that you deserve more berths, and then you have less worthy – it will go out even at the end.

“None of us are crazy about anything,” the spectrum coach Tyler Verde said. “This is the most important of the usual season and the Vancouver Island playoff. This is more emphasis on it. This is cool. We are moving our city finals to UVIC because we think we are going to pack the place.

“It is very good for the basketball community here. It already has a rich history. It is very special to hear many people talking about basketball.”

There are stories like this in the past.

For example, the North Shore’s Hove Sound Zone had a berth for the Triple A provincial competition – which was the best layer of boys’ basketball in 2007. No. 1 in the rankings that go to the Hove sounds. Handsworth fell twice a series to the West Vancouver Highlands, who lost the Double Knock Out Zone, and fell 63-58, and then their season suddenly ended at 63-61.

Rap Sakre, the center of the Handsworth team, played for Konsaka University and later for Los Angeles Lakers.

The difference between the Handsworth story, the spectrum, the Oak Bay and the Dover Bay now playing, the Handsworth regretted it, which was removed in a backward position. There is a clear and current risk that dolphins, bays and thunder are not looking at them in provinces.

The two teams that qualify from the Vancouver Island for LeC will certainly be tested at that time.

“Teams coming out of the islands are on the other sides of the province,” said Doveer Bay coach Darren Seeman. “Whoever wins the islands will be number 1, and the second place will be number 2. We hope they go through the provinces and play each other again in the final.”

The Number 5 Gelowna owls lost 82-70 results in the semifinals of the Western Canada Tournament, which will be in the semifinals of the Owls, so it will be running in the next week’s rankings. Thanks to winning the Spectrum 80-60 against Calcarry’s All Star on Friday, Kelovna will play the spectrum on Saturday.
