02.11.26 Top 10 edition: Vancouver Sea-to-Sky, South Fraser, Van Isle zones wielding the late-season hammer as the countdown to B.C. boys high school tourney-tip off reaches three weeks!

LANGLEY — Three weeks from today, a total of 32 sudden-elimination games will be on the docket as the 2026 B.C. senior boys high school basketball championships tip off at the Langley Events Centre.

For a fun exercise in fortune telling, look at the projected Final Fours based on the top four at each of B.C.’s four tiers in the latest Top 10 rankings issued today.

What would you see?

Vancouver Sea-to-Sky represented in all four with six total teams, and South Fraser repping in three tiers with four total Top 4 rankings. Vancouver Island has three Top four schools in total.

Remember, once the provincials begins, rankings are as good — in the face of fire — the paper they were once exclusively printed on!

Kids of all ages, get out to a gym, catch some action and we’ll be back again soon!
