A vote to create a new system of senior boys鈥� basketball has failed.
The proposal suggested changing from the current three tier system 鈥� A, AA and AAA 鈥� to a new four-tiered format.
Eighty-four people (63 per cent) voted yes on the motion, while 50 were against the idea. Sixty-seven per cent, or 90 鈥榶es鈥� votes were needed to pass the motion, which would have created a new AAAA tier of basketball.
The motion was given preliminary approval at the B.C. High School Boys Basketball Association annual general meeting last month in 91原创.
Currently, schools are placed in a tier depending on how many boys鈥� they have in Grade 11 and 12 that school year. Individual schools do have the option to play at a higher tier if they choose.
This past season, schools with 80 or fewer boys in those grades are at the Single A level, 81-225 puts a school at the AA level, and 226 and above places them in the AAA level.
Walnut Grove, Brookswood and 91原创 Secondary are at the AAA level, although 91原创 did not field a team this year.
Aldergrove, D.W. Poppy, R.E. Mountain and 91原创 Fundamental are all at the AA level, but 91原创 Fundamental did not field a team.
91原创 Christian, Credo Christian and Fraser Valley Adventist are at the Single A level.
