Northwest will be well represented at all levels of Provincials in 2015

As we outlined on the blog yesterday, the Charles Hays Rainmakers punched their ticket to the 2015 Provincials, with a convincing string of victories in the NorthWest Zones.

The Rainmaker success on Saturday, sending Mel Bishop's squad on to Langley for a return engagement, looking to complete the mission that had them finish second overall in 2014.

And while the Rainmaker story in itself is going to capture a bit of attention at AAA Provincials, they are not the only squad from the Northwest making the trip to Langley this year.

In Single A ball,  Bulkley Valley Christian out of Smithers will be looking to claim some provincial bragging rights, as they kick off their Provincial tournament with a game one match up with Kelowna Christian.  The Bulkley Valley team heads into the tournament rated at number 5 overall of the sixteen qualifiers.
