NINE MILE RIVER: Blair Livingstone has earned a place on the Basketball Nova Scotia U15 girls provincial team and will represent the province at the Canada Basketball National Championships next month.
Livingstone, who made the squad as an underage player, is still eligible to compete at the U15 level again next season, making the selection an impressive accomplishment.
