Britannia’s Senior Boys Basketball: Kings of the Court Once Again!

Britannia Secondary’s senior boys basketball team has once again come home heroes for their school. For the second time in three years the senior boys AA team has brought back the B.C. championship banner to their school.
“We were really excited we were going to play Palmer again [in the finals],” says grade 12 player Gerardo Palomino. “We were hungry to win.”

The Britannia basketball team had a pretty impressive season bringing an 11-1 winning record into the championship game. So what was one of the reasons for such an impressive season? “At the start of the season we all pointed up at that provincial banner and said that’s our goal,” recalls coach Jesse Brown. The team worked hard, stayed focus, and persevered until the end; and in the end came out of it with an outstanding result.

To honour and celebrate the big win, Britannia Secondary’s faculty and student body held a victory ceremony for the champions in the school gymnasium. The team received their gold medals while everyone clapped and cheered for their great accomplishment. “When you end up provincial champions you can be nothing but happy,” says coach Brown, and I’m pretty sure his team agrees. Congratulations to the the players, coaches and the entire Britannia Secondary community!
