A basketball team rebuilt from tragedy in Bathurst, N.B. after seven players died in bus crash months earlier. The team won a provincial championship and a TV movie was made about that journey.

I covered the championship-winning game for STU’s campus paper and the story went national on the Canadian University Press wire.
