KAMLOOPS —  The B.C. boys basketball championships are underway in Langley — day one — and three Kamloops teams have seen their first action.

A year after missing out on a provincial championship by less than ten points, the number two seed South Kam Titans got a push from the number fifteen team from Campbell River.

South Kam won 58-51 with Nick Sarai scoring 21 points for the Titans.

Ripley Martin had 17 points and Reid Jansen came up a point short of a triple double — with 9 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds.

South Kam will face Duchess Park of Prince George in the quarterfinals.
