The hosts from Semiahmoo opened their schedule at 10:30 a.m. against Victoria’s Monterey Middle School.
The girls’ side of the tournament – also a 16-team affair – began at noon Thursday, with New Westminster’s Glenbrook Middle School taking on St. Michael’s from Vancouver Island. Semiahmoo tips off at 3 p.m. against Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators.
Also at 3 p.m., Surrey’s Holy Cross will face Vernon and Fleetwood Park will play Magee.
