The Riverside Rapids notched their first win of the AAA high school girls basketball Fraser Valley championship on Wednesday.
The Port Coquitlam club defeated Sardis secondary 91-75 during an afternoon game at Walnut Grove and were expected to take on Coquitlam Dr. Charles Best Thursday afternoon after The Tri-City News’ deadline. Riverside’s Wednesday performance showed they had bounced back from Tuesday’s loss in their first game of the tournament, where they fell 71-62 to Yale secondary.
Fraser Valley squads are jockeying for position in the tournament, which decides who will move on to the B.C. Provincial Championship.
Dr. Charles Best had a similar 1-1 record going into Thursday’s game against Riverside, after defeating Abbtosford’s W.J. Mouat 76-57.
Heritage Woods also got off to a strong start at the tournament, defeating MEI secondary 63-59 in the opening match before falling to Brookswood secondary 77-43 on Wednesday.
