Top 10 Tuesday 10.16.18 edition: All three tiers of B.C. boys volleyball Top 10s include a new AA No. 1

LANGLEY — Kelowna’s Best of the West Invitational did it best to effect change at both the AAA and AA tiers this past weekend.

At AAA, Cranbrook’s Mt. Baker got its first extended crack at B.C’s best and the Wild parlayed their fine play into a rise from honourable mention status to No. 6.

As well the parity of the Okanagan Zone continues to reveal itself in league play, with Penticton having an up week.

At AA, the province’s top two teams found themselves taking a back seat to up-country squads.

Lake Country’s George Elliot’s Yotes moved up to No. 1, while Prince George’s College Heights Cougars sit at No. 2, each team shining in their play at Best of the West.
