Four of Surrey’s best high school boys basketball teams have advanced to the semifinals of the Surrey RCMP Classic.
The all-Surrey tournament will see Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir face Fleetwood Park on Friday at 5:45 p.m., followed by a battle between Newton’s Tamanawis and South Surrey-based Semiahmoo starting at 7:45 p.m. Both games will be played at the Enver Creek Secondary gym, 14505 84th Ave.
To get there, in a day with no real upsets, Tweedsmuir more than doubled Southridge on Wednesday (Jan. 16) by a score of 101-49, while Fleetwood Park topped Guildford Park 74-58. In the other bracket, Tamanawis cruised to a 101-68 win over Pacific Academy, and Semiahmoo edged Clayton Heights 79-78.
