Excellent piece in the Kelowna newspaper on Simon Fraser Clan. No word on whether or not 6'5" Chas Kok, a big piece of SFU's success thus far, will be available this weekend after an injury to his leg last Friday night against Fraser Valley kept him out of the Saturday game.
Canny Clan unselfish and unbeaten; Team adopts selfless team-first Princeton offence and starts 5-0
In the parlance of their new offence, you could say that someone left the back door open for the Simon Fraser Clan to grab a spot in the CIS national men's basketball rankings.
