A day of travel behind them, the Junior Girls Rainmakers Basketball team can finally get down to the work of the day, as the Northwest Zones champions get ready for their first tip off in the BC Junior Girls Provincials today.

The four day marathon to a provincial banner finds the team taking to the court in a qualification round match up this morning, the Rainmakers one of sixteen teams that will be looking to move into the Championship Bracket by the time Saturday's finale to Provincials takes place.

The Rainmakers head into the tournament ranked as the number twenty seed of the twenty four participants in this years Provincials.

But before anyone gets to looking too far down the tournament schedule, there is some early work  to be done today, with a possibility of two games on opening day for the Rainmakers.

Coach Sonny Henry's will be turning the girls focus to game time for now, as the Junior Girls squad prepares for the first match up of the Tournament today at 9 AM when they take on North Surrey. 

The winner of this morning's qualification match, will then move on to some tough competition in St. Thomas Moore Collegiate at 3 PM, the Lower mainland school is currently listed as the number four seed in the tournament.



The road to a provincial title makes for a four day journey, and should the Junior Girls Rainmakers find success as the week moves forward, the Championship Game will take place on Saturday, March 3 at 1 PM
