A Red Letter Day

I meant to comment on this when it was actually news but it needs to be broadcast regardless of its timeliness. Those of you not in NB may most certainly remember the horrific crash the claimed the lives 7 Bathurst High School basketball players and their coach's wife as they returned to Bathurst from a game in Moncton last January. What you may not know is the most recent (happy) chapter.

The whole region was devestated at the loss of these students and basketball was the farthest thing from anyone's mind at the time. Over time, however, the school rallied and put a team back together around the one remaining survivor. Bradd Arsenau (above) led the team to an undefeated season and had the game of his life in the AA finals at the Aitken Center 10 days ago. He finished with 25 points and 21 rebounds, was named MVP and got to be the first to cut the mesh down from the hoop. Now he has a day he'll never forget for all the right reasons.

I urge you to take a look at this well-written article from the Telegraph Journal.

It's nice to have a little good news for a change.

Pace out.
