Seeing a lot of Okanagan high school basketball pages popping up on my timeline recently, and... hell ya!!
As a journalist, I love highlighting youth sports and seeing these independent creators hype up teams and players is a great way to grow the game! (+ I get a mini-cameo as a ref in some posts)
