Last week, G.W. Graham all but clinched first place in the AA Fraser Valley East division with a 72-61 win over Hope on Thursday. The win moves the Grizzlies to 8-1, they just need to take care of business on February 2, when they face Abbotsford Traditional in their final league matchup.
Hope, on the other hand, has fallen to 5-3 and will likely finish third in the division barring the combination of an Abbotsford Christian loss and Hope victory in the next two weeks. Hope would fail to qualify for Fraser Valleys if they lose one of their final two games and D.W. Poppy wins two of their next three.
Sardis and Chilliwack have a few league games left and will both need to consistently beat Robert Bateman and Abbotsford Collegiate - forget about beating Yale - to ensure they finish in the top 4 (out of 5) in their division and advance to the first round of the AAA Fraser Valley tournament.
The format for the A Fraser Valley tournament is still unconfirmed but is likely that we will both Agassiz and Unity Christian taking part while Highroad Academy will be stuck on the outside looking in. This is the first time that Highroad will miss the Fraser Valley Tournament since they returned to A competition a number of years ago.
Adding to the excitement of playoff time is the fact that the AA Fraser Valley ournament (boys and girls) will be hosted in our own backward at G.W. Graham and Sardis Secondary, February 10-13. Stay here for the schedule and all the latest updates.
