Fraser Valley vs. Lower Mainland: Full rosters for Thursday’s senior girls swan song all-star game at PoCo-Riverside

PORT COQUITLAM — If you’re a bit of a misty-eyed girls high school basketball fan, it’s understandable. 

As zone realignment around the province kicks in next season, Thursday’s annual Fraser Valley vs. Lower Mainland senior girls high school all-star basketball game marks a sad farewell.

The game, of course, will re-surface with a new title next season, yet generations of young women have spent high school careers playing in the province’s two largest zones.

Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Secondary will play host to both a senior game (8 p.m.) for Grade 12s only, as well as to a Future’s Game (6 p.m.).

Here’s a link to a feature story on one of the participants in Thursday’s seniors game, SFU recruit Jessica Wisotzki of Walnut Grove.

We’ll look at the rosters for the Futures Games tomorrow.

Here’s the rosters for the senior game, with high school and post-secondary destinations the latter where applicable through information provided by the B.C. Secondary Schools Basketball Association.
