LANGLEY — If you go by the pollsters provincial point tallies, we’ve got one heck of a Final Four brewing on the road to the B.C. senior girls basketball championships tipping off March 1 at the Langley Events Centre.
PoCo’s Riverside Rapids, continue to hold down top spot, yet by only four poll points (71-to-67) over Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators.
No. 3 Burnaby Central sits with 60 points, while Abbotsford’s No. 4 Yale Lions continue to climb, moving into the top four with 55 points.
Of course with the biggest games all yet to be played, there is much to be decided before our March 22 B.C. tournament bracket-reveal show airs.
