Nudged down one spot in AAA Senior Boys Rankings, Charles Hays Rainmakers look to rebound in North Van tourney

The competitive Vancouver basketball scene would appear to have given BC Basketball cause to readjust their AAA Senior Boys Basketball rankings this week, knocking the Charles Hays Rainmakers down one spot from their fifth place mark in last week's review.

Over last weekend the Senior Boys were in Terrace picking up a 2 and 1 record for their efforts, including another showdown with regional rival Caledonia, won by the Kermodes this time around.

However, those making the BC Basketball rankings saw something they liked from Vancouver's Lord Byng Grey Ghosts which made the leap over the Rainmakers as part of this weeks results.

There were no further changes atop the provincial rankings in the first four spots of the survey.

The listings were published on the Vancouver Province website on Wednesday
