Welcome to the second B.C. senior varsity boys volleyball rankings of the season.
The long season will always provide correction and recalibration, but for this week, the Triple A rankings have gone topsy-turvy with two top-five teams falling to honourable mention status and another dropping out of the rankings all together.
Surrey’s Earl Marriott Mariners maintain their No. 1 slot, while North Delta’s Seaquam Seahawks, the top-finishing B.C. team at the UBC Invitational (second to Edmonton’s Harry Ainlay Titans) move into No. 2.
