The Royal Falcons narrowly missed hosting Regionals as they are seeded fifth provincially.
The team’s first game is Friday evening at 8 pm as they face the 12th seeded Waldheim at 8 pm in Unity.
Central Cyclones - 4A
The Central Cyclones find themselves in familiar territory as the top seeded 4A Boys team in the province.
The Cyclones will take on the 16th seeded Notre Dame Hounds who despite their lower seeding are known to surprise their opponents.
The game goes at 4:30 pm this Friday at Central Collegiate’s gym.
Peacock Toilers - 4 A
The big change this year is the Peacock Toilers “dropping down” from the 5A to the 4A division.
The move also sees Peacock hosting one of the Regionals.
The second seeded Peacock will face the fifteenth seeded La Ronge this Friday afternoon at 2:45 pm.
Although it cannot happen during the Regionals but depending upon the play of the Cyclones and the Toilers they could very well face each other in the provincial final at Hoopla.
But both teams have to win first.
Swift Curent Colts - 5A
One of the newest additions to the Moose Jaw High School Athletics Associations’ cjty league the Swift Current Colts are also playing at Regionaks.
The ninth seeded Colts take on the eighth seeded Yorkton Regional on Friday at 11:5 am at Lloydminster Comprehensive High School.
