The Bay of Quinte boys basketball finals are Thursday at NCC and I like what they've done this year by holding championship matches in Tier I and Tier II divisions.
It gives other teams a chance to experience a title.
I recall watching the Bulldog Cup a few years ago, which is the consolation rugby tournament held for the teams who lose their quarterfinals and therefore don't advance to the Bay of Quinte tournament, and seeing the Moira Trojans win either the boys junior or senior title.
Judging by their reaction, you'd have thought they just won OFSAA.
But the kids had accomplished something. They'd won something. And it meant something.
Plus, the coaches later told me that title really helped build the team the following year with more kids coming out and returnees, who now had a taste of winning, wanting to climb the ladder to the Bay of Quinte tournament.
Good stuff.
