It's a story about Collingwood's Pretty River Academy, last year's "A" OFSAA champions, who are referred to in the article as "Canada's Own Hoosiers" who are "defending one of the most unlikely championships ever".
PRA has a student population of 25 high-school students. Yes, 25. That's down from last year's 42 population when the school took home the OFSAA championship.
An excerpt:
With only 21 high-school aged boys to choose from, every male was recruited, regardless of height, age, or, for that matter, whether they'd ever picked up a basketball. Fifteen-year-old Walker Scarrow, last year's "motivator and water boy" says they didn't have much choice. "You're breathing? You're on the team. You have no hand-eye coordination? That's fine."
Twelve kids showed up at the first practice, including a kid with asthma so bad he couldn't play in games, a competitive skier who missed most of the season, and an exchange student named Tassilo Schmidt who moved back to Germany halfway through the year.
Unfortunately, there's no online version to link to, but I definitely recommend picking this edition up --- if only for this article.
