LANGLEY — For the first time this season, half of B.C.’s four senior varsity tiers have new No. 1’s!
Here are the latest B.C. senior girls Top 10 volleyball rankings:
At Quad-A, the host KSS Owls claimed first place at their own Best of the West and retained their top spot at the province’s highest tier.
Immediately beneath them, Vancouver’s Lord Byng Grey Ghosts and North Van’s Handsworth Royals met in the North Shore Invite final, and a Ghosts’ win kept the two powers at Nos. 2 and 3 respectively.
*At Triple A, Vancouver’s Little Flower Academy Angels and the Dawson Creek Penguins moved up one spot each to Nos. 1 and 2 respectively after longtime No. 1 Carihi Tyees of Campbell River faltered with a 10th place finish at the North Shore event.
*At Double A, Abbotsford’s MEI Eagles upset Surrey’s No. 1-ranked Pacific Academy Breakers in the opening round of the Best of the West, and parlayed that victory into an eventual berth in the finals where it lost to AAAA No. 1 Kelowna.
