Your Bulldogs are off to Provincials again and our 2nd Lower Mainland Final in a row Friday night at 6:15! This has been a special season and we are trying to keep the magic alive!

It's always special when one of our players gets some special recognition and this week Majok Deng had a chance to speak with Howard Tsumura about his senior season. Majok is Principals Honour Roll student and one of the most talented players to come through our program- but his greatest asset is his selflessness.  Tsumura writes: "Take the occasion of the Burnaby-New Westminster championship final when Deng supplied 23 points on 10-of-13 shooting, and had 14 rebounds and five blocks in a win over Quad-A crosstown rival Burnaby South.

Then on Wednesday, in a mid-day test at Richmond’s Olympic Oval, Deng scored 21 points as the Bulldogs dumped the Richmond Colts 97-69 in the Lower Mainland Triple A semifinals, securing a berth in Friday’s 6:15 p.m. championship final.

Still, it’s Dhillon’s comment that speaks to not only the subtle things that Deng so acutely understands to be important in the flow of the game, but also the way he is able to speak to those more under-rated tenets. “First of all, I take pride in that,” he begins when told of his head coach’s assessment. “I know the impact I can have just affecting shots, making extra passes… just being an extra body. I’m a 6-8 kid they have to double, and we have a high-powered offence, so I pass the basketball. “When you think about it, it’s all about being willing to sacrifice,” Deng said." A great article on a great kid. Link is in the bio!
