Tip Off Beckons for Rainmakers at Provincials; with 5:15 match up with St. Thomas Aquinas Saints

The 2023 British Columbia High School Basketball Provincials launched this morning at the Langley Events Centre and as opening day moves along, the Charles Hays Rainmakers will be watching the clock as they await their turn in the spotlight and their opening day match up with North Vancouver's St. Thomas Aquinas. 

As we outlined on Monday, the Rainmakers learned of their AA tourney opener match up as part of the Annual Selection show on YouTube

The tournament seeding presented them with a good challenge from the opening tip off, with the Saints a top tier team from the south which the Maker's have some familiarity with.

The Opening Day showdown starts at 5:15 and you can stream the action live through the Pay Per View feed.

From the Sunday selection program we also noted of a few other interesting games to come for those around the Northwest.

7PM brings us the debut for this years tourney for Haida Gwai''s Gidgalan Kuuyas Naay who tip off against Brookes Westshore in the Single A tourney.

The wrap up for Day One comes later in the eventing and an 8:45 tip off for Terrace's Caledonia as they take on Nanaimo's Dover Bay in AAA action.

You can follow all of the tournament action through the BC High School Basketball website, as well as by following Howard Tsumura's Varsity Letters Portal, which provides extensive coverage of the tournament.
