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 sports - that caused havoc and lots of opinion.
For instance, some people didn’t like my opinions that the Rogers Centre was near empty for the recent series of football Bowl games. The truth: it was near empty. Organizers claim over 4,000 people showed up. Not all at one time, they`re adding the numbers of five games and maybe the cheerleaders and marching band too to make the numbers look good. Either way, four teams from the Golden Horseshoe and Metro area combined and that’s all they can draw?
I’m getting off topic. On Sunday, we’ll talk with a former high school basketball player - and now a prominent Toronto lawyer - about school sports. Do we need them, the future and what changes would he make - if he could?
And later this month, a Principal in Toronto retires. But not just any Principal. Close to 40 years as an educator, coach and more. Looking back at thing that stand out - and looking ahead.
Oh yes, we’re on vacation for a few weeks. No shows on December 20 or 27.
We’ll kick-start 2010 with a dandy and a one hour special program- “religion and sport - in high schools“. Two members of the clergy in studio with me.
