High school basketball is about to resume regular season play.
At Mark Isfeld Secondary in Courtenay, senior boys team coaches Kent Milburn and Blake Tobacca are excited about the abundance of talent among the Grade 12s. These include guards Temwa Mtawali, Kye Kotapski-Tinga, Karman Kondola, Jasper Halvorson and Leo Blake, and forwards Ryder Dumonceau and Duncan Whetter.
The coaches are also pleased with the talent of the Grade 11s coming onto the triple-A team.
