For immediate release:
In light of the following acknowledgement from Oak Bay Secondary School there has been some consideration to changes to the 2014 TELUS Junior Girls Provincial Basketball Championships.
To Whom It May Concern:
The BC Secondary School Girls Basketball Association properly informed Oak Bay Secondary School of the required registration process to be eligible to participate in the 2014 TELUS Junior Girls Provincial Basketball Championships. Further to that, Oak Bay Secondary School’s representative was reminded of this necessity prior to the final late registration deadline and the school neglected to complete the registration process as were requested to do so.
Oak Bay Secondary School did not comply with the registration requirements of the BCSSGBA. Oak Bay takes responsibility for not submitting the required registration information and fee prior to the deadline as communicated to Oak Bay by the BCSSGBA.
Sincerely,
Richard Fast
Athletic Director, Oak Bay Secondary School
Keith Butler,
Vice Principal, Oak Bay Secondary School

Brett Westcott, President of BCSSGBA, Christine Bradstock, Executive Director of BCSS and Jason Winslade, Tournament Director for 2014 TELUS Junior Girls Provincial Basketball Championships met to determine possible solutions. In the interest of participation of student-athletes and not punishing the students for this mistake the 2014 TELUS Junior Girls Provincial Basketball Championships will run with 17 teams qualifying and will include Oak Bay Breakers. Oak Bay Secondary School will pay a fine of $500 to the BCSSGBA. This money will be put toward scholarships for student-athletes.
If you have any questions please contact Christine Bradstock at BC School Sports, information below.
