Kernersville, N.C. Just days the coronavirus pandemic halted all eight basketball state championships, the Bishop McGuinness Lady Villains were competing in the 1A eastern regional final at East Carolina University.
Bishop McGuinness had won five of its past six games prior to facing Weldon, who had one blemish in 2019-20, inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum. The territory was not unfamiliar for Bishop’s girls basketball program, but surely was a different test for the 11 student-athletes. The Lady Villains had two seniors on their roster a season ago.
They are one of the smallest First Nations bands in the region, with their lone reserve spanning a 1.3 sq. km. area at the southeasternmost corner of Surrey framed by White Rock to the west, 8 Avenue to the north, Highway 99 to the east, and Peace Arch Provincial Park to the south.
Their population is about 100 people, with approximately half living on reserve and the remainder elsewhere.

The First Nation reached an agreement with the City of Surrey in July 2018 to provide potable water and sewer connections to the reserve. Construction on two km of piping began in March 2019 with funding from the federal government.
VANCOUVER The Semiahmoo First Nation says it’s one step closer to clean drinking water. The Semiahmoo reserve, located in South Surrey, and has been under a boil water advisory since 2005, says band manager Joanne Charles. On Friday, the nation connected its main water pipe to Surrey’s, and held a ceremony to celebrate the event. “For some of our family members, they ve grown up with nothing except for water advisories so for them it will be different because they do not know anything except for boil-water (advisories),” she said in a phone interview with CTV News Vancouver. Between 1996 and 2005, the reserve was on and off boil water advisories, Charles said, which means there are members in their 20s who still don’t know what it’s like to have clean drinking water come from the taps.
