LANGLEY — Three weeks into the new season, and the province’s tier leaders looked to have settled into an early groove.
That’s just another way of saying that last week’s top four in each classification remained the same, including the precise 1-2-3-4 order in Quad-, Triple- and Double-A.
The lone change among that quartet?
Vancouver’s SJS, swapped places with Chilliwack’s Unity Christian Flames as the Eagles are the new No. 1 atop Single-A.
