The BC Hoop Scoop twitter feed delivered the pre season shout out on Tuesday. Putting the Junior Boys Rainmakers in with some elite company in British Columbia High School Basketball, within striking distance of the Top Ten.

It's proving to be a busy time at the CHSS Gymnasium as the Boys and Girls basketball programs, as well as the Senior Boys Volleyball team all vie for court time.
