2. Why take so much athletes if they are injured when other potentional athletes were there to make the team.
The boy Frett, Jaheem, Latriel and few others injured.
The entire BVIAA needs to desolved.
Having chucky selecting most of his athletes from his club is dishonest and unfair.
The selection for the under 17 boys relay. The last leg play the fool. Second leg give a great turn over. Last leg didnt run
The starter up go the 3rd leg was good.
