Final Game: Brookswood vs Kitsilano
Consolation: St. George's vs Handsworth


I really like Brookswood as the winner of this tournament. By all reports they have looked good through the summer. I don't think anyone can stop Malish this year, he ripped it up last year and I expect he will have a monster year this year, could be all-around MVP. The Bobcats have a tough draw having to face possibly Burnett, a top 10 Centennial team and top ranked St. George's. Still their frontcourt is the best in the Province and should dominate the field.

Kitsilano has an easy route all the way to the Semis. This is where things get really interesting as they will most likely face Handsworth in the Semis. We all remember what happened in the Provincial Tournament a mere 8 months ago. I'm sure Coach Coutts would like nothing better than redemption here. I like Niko and Nurse ahead of Leigh and Keast in the big semifinal match.

Big question mark for St. George's will be whether Bol Kong has completely healed from his knee injury that sidelined him for the latter half of the summer. Without him, they won't have a chance vs Brookswood and could be in trouble vs a new and much improved Richmond team.

Notable absentees include Terry Fox, Pitt Meadows, West Van, Hugh Boyd, MEI and North Delta. And what of Carson Graham and their 7 footer.

I've very open with the comments and read every one. Just like the Football blog, I delete the ones that have:

- sexual innuendo (ie. rape, sodomy, etc..)
- threats of violence against a player or team
- racial stereotyping

Everything else stays. I'm a big proponent of FREEDOM OF SPEECH but sometimes people take it too far...
