The McMath Wildcats and Steveston-London Sharks will meet again tonight at RC Palmer, this time for the Richmond Senior Girls Basketball Championship.
The Wildcats enter the 7 p.m. tilt as the six-time defending champion and the heavy favourite too after a 96-57 home floor win over the Sharks last week.
A better start for Steveston-London is imperative after producing just 10 first half points in the initial meeting.
The teams could very well meet again at next week’s inaugural South Fraser Zone Championships that will be hosted by McMath. Also at stake tonight are the No. 1 and No. 3 seeds for that eight team tournament that starts on Monday.
The Wildcats advanced to the city final with an 83-31 win over RC Palmer while the Sharks got past the Hugh Boyd Trojans 63-48. The Trojans and Griffins will play the third place game at 5:30 p.m. that will also determine seeding for the South Fraser 2A Championships.
At the buzzer...
-The MacNeill Ravens capped a perfect run in Richmond Junior Boys play with 44-31 win over McMath in the championship game on Wednesday night. Burnett defeated Steveston-London 62-48 to place third. Up next is the South Fraser Junior Championships.
- Steveston-London Sharks locked up second place in the Richmond Senior Boys League with an entertaining 105-98 home floor win over the Richmond Colts on Wednesday. McMath remains on course to finish first after wins over Cambie and Palmer this week. The Colts will finish third and the MacNeill Ravens round-out the top four for the city championships that will begin next week at Hugh Boyd.
