South Kam boys seek redemption while head coach is suspended
KAMLOOPS — The South Kam Titans are in the same spot they were in a year ago, the No. 2 team in the province going into the AAA basketball championships, eager to finish a job they were so close to accomplishing last spring, losing 69-63 to Rick Hanson in the final.
“Every drill our team did, myself included, we just thought about the Hurricanes beating us and all the headlines about them winning. That could’ve been us. Everything just pushed us as a team,” said Grade 12 forward Nick Sarai.
But the Titans will face a unique hurdle in this year’s championship drive. Head coach Tim Unaegbu, who’s been with this group for four years, won’t be on the bench. He won’t even be allowed to step foot into the Langley Events Centre.
