The top-three Quad-A boys’ teams in B.C. are from the Island
The late Meat Loaf sang that two out of three ain’t bad. But sometimes it is. It’s particularly so if you are a high school basketball player this season on the Island.
“It’s the talk of the basketball community, the hottest topic of conversation,” said Spectrum head coach Tyler Verde. “It’s a crazy situation but the rules seem to be the rules,” said Verde. “We are going to see packed gyms this season whenever we play Oak Bay and Dover Bay, who also have players who are going to go on . It’s going to be an amazing Island tournament .”Of the top three, Spectrum seems to be a cut above, led by Under-17 Team B.C. players Tyler Felt and Justin Hinrichsen, son of 2000 Sydney Olympian and former University of Victoria Vikes great Eric Hinrichsen.
“We were not at our best that night but still grinded that one out against a top-five team,” said Verde.The Santa Slam boys’ high school tournament begins today at the Mount Douglas Secondary gymnasium.
