Players in the 1953 Cumberland Pickards Midget basketball team.

As high school basketball players are getting ready to hit the court this weekend in the Comox Valley, one reader wanted to point out the Valley's history with the sport.

Submitted was a photo of the 1953 Cumberland Midget basketball team. The team won the Valley competition, and were sporting jerseys from Pickards — one of five grocery stores in Cumberland at the time.

Let us know if you recognize any of these faces!
