Tsumura’s three to see

- — Howard Tsumura

Here’s our look at three of the top live events this weekend in the world of university and high school 1 sports. It might be the best sports rivalry in the entire tri-city region. It’s certainly one of the blue-chip clashes in all of B.C. high school football. It’s Port Coquitlam’s No. 2-ranked Terry Fox Ravens lining up against the host Centennial Centaurs of Coquitlam on the gridiron at Percy Perry Stadium (Friday, 7:30 p.m.). Throw everything out the window 2 when these two rivals meet. The final two days of the UBC Thunder birds’ three-day men’s pre-season basketball tournament takes place at War Memorial Gymnasium. It’s a great way to get current with three local Canada West teams. Friday: 3 p.m. — Concordia (Montreal) vs. Thompson Rivers; 5 p.m. — Concordia (Portland) vs. Victoria; 7 p.m. — UBC vs. Wilfrid Laurier. Saturday: 3 p.m. — TRU vs. Concordia (Portland); 5 p.m. — Victoria vs. Laurier; 7 p.m. — UBC vs. Concordia 3 (Montreal). The two reigning B.C. high school football champs, each sitting at No. 1 in their respective tiers, play out of conference on Saturday (2 p.m.) in Tsawwassen. Victoria’s Triple A Mt. Douglas Rams clash with the host, Double A South Delta Sun Devils. Rams’ running back Marcus Davis is one of the stars of the Class of 2014, while Sun Devils’ QB Lucas Kirk holds the same distinctio­n on the Class of 2015.
