NONPOLITICAL STATEMENT

Sisler High School Girls Basketball Team

Mr. Doug Martindale (Burrows): Madam Speaker, I seek leave of the House to make a nonpolitical statement.

Madam Speaker: Does the honourable member for Burrows have leave to make a nonpolitical statement? [agreed]

Mr. Martindale: Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to congratulate the Sisler Girls Varsity Basketball Team who yesterday defeated Kelvin 51 to 44 to advance to the city finals on Friday. It always feels good to see a multiracial north end team kick butt against a predominantly white south end team and especially since many of our players are six inches shorter than their competitors. It proves that talent is more important than height even in basketball. I wish them well in their city final game on Friday. Thank you.
