It’s basketball month, or so it feels, with lots of them - Sheridan Cup, Forest City Invitational, Scarborough Basketball Association, Kennedy All-Catholic, Ontario Catholic Classic, and on and on.
We’ll talk hoops, now that exams are over, and what lies ahead with the Ontario championships one month away. Yup, four provincial finals - different size schools - […]

13 days to go.
The Winter Olympics and, well, we thought we might get in the Olympic mood with a show involving university grads with links to the Olympics.
He once played hockey for Ryerson, now Keith Pelley has a say in what the world will watch and hear when the Games begin on Feb. 12 in […]

You’re obese.
As a student, how would you feel if someone approached you and said that straight to your face? Remember all the hoopla about our youth being lazy, out-of-shape, eating junk food, playing on the computer and not getting exercise?
Well, depending on who you talk with, not much has really changed.

Still getting lots of comments from listeners to our show last Sunday, which had to be one of the best since we started the program. In case you missed it, it was “Religion and Sports” and took up the entire hour. The show is on the FAN website under podcasts. Look for my picture and […]

Yikes, it’s the end of another year and the end of a decade.
Well, Sunday morning on THE HIGH SCHOOL SHOW, we will try pick out some of the catchy stories of the past year. Not enough time to go through every championship, but there were some great performances and some issues - even in school […]

Alright, the gals got to me.
On the UNIVERSITY SHOW, Heather Bansley from the University of Toronto convinced me to come out and watch her play volleyball. She’s a three-time Ontario all-star in the indoor game and, I am told, may be even better playing beach volleyball.

Yup, we’re getting that much closer.
Trophies, pennants and medals.
First up, the Golden Horseshoe Bowl and the Metro Bowl - both at the Rogers Centre. There will likely be more football players than spectators. Unless there’s a last minute push and giveaway of tickets to get people in to prove me wrong. Count on OFSAA and […]

Promise, nothing about the night before - Halloween.
Then again, I like this time of the year because it gives me a reason to get rid of last year’s candies. I will try stick to some interesting guests, like we do each week.
However, this show could stir up some late witches and goblins. Those really weren’t […]
