It's a logjam atop the standings of the North Shore senior boys AAAA basketball league and it will all be sorted out this week as the regular season wraps up heading into the Howe Sound playoffs.
West Vancouver and Handsworth are currently tied for first place with six points apiece, although West Van has played only four games to Handsworth's five. Sentinel is close behind with four points through four games while Argyle is sitting at two points after scoring an upset 67-58 victory over Handsworth Thursday. That result came just two days after Handsworth beat West Van 49-46 to move into a first-place tie. Yep, it's a logjam alright.
The action resumes Tuesday when Argyle will host West Van and Handsworth will welcome Sentinel. Both games are 7:30 p.m. tip-offs. Sentinel will then host West Vancouver in the regular season's final game Friday starting at 7:30 p.m. Whichever team finishes in first place will earn the right to host the Howe Sound Championship tournament scheduled to run Feb. 19-26, gaining a big advantage in the fight for the league's championship trophy and sole berth in the provincial tournament.
