Place Stadium, Vernon Panthers\u2019 head coach Sean Smith chats about the Okanagan powerhouse which faces Parksville\u2019s Ballenas Whalers in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 battle of undefeated teams.   Al Tuchscherer, the head coach of the Abbotsford\u2019s Fraser Valley Cascades women\u2019s basketball team stops by to set up his team\u2019s challenging weekend two-game homestand against the Canada West-leading Lethbridge Pronghorns Friday and Saturday at Envision Financial Athletic Centre. The 2019-20 Cascades are filled with an intrguing blend of youth and experience.   And finally, we had to the Langley Events Centre to speak with longtime former newspaperman Gary Ahuja, the LEC\u2019s manager of communications and media. Reminiscing about his near-15-years with the Langley Times paper, and speaking to the passion he feels in his new posting, Ahuja and the rest of the LEC staff are preparing to host the B.C. senior boys (AA and AAA) and girls (AAA, AAAAA) volleyball championships, plus the boys and girls Tsumura Basketball Invitationals, all over the next month.   Varsity Letters \u2014 The Podcast, is Canada\u2019s only weekly podcast dedicated solely to the coverage of provincial university and high school sports.
