The No. 10-ranked Burnaby North Vikings wrapped up the BurWest high school boys’ volleyball regular season with a straight set victory over Burnaby Mountain on Wednesday.
The North boys won 25-16, 25-20, 25-19 to finish league play with an unbeaten record.
The Vikings have flirted in and out of the rankings this season following a second-place finish to Langley Fundamental, one of the top AA teams in the province, at the Douglas College tournament.
North also had its best-ever showing at the University of B.C. tourney, placing fourth overall.
“It keeps them motivated,” said North head coach Allen Tsang. “As the coach, we’re in steps now – get the banner, do well at the Lower Mainlands and then advance to the provicials. Who knows.”
North will host the BurWest boys' playoffs, beginning with semifinals on Monday, Nov. 4. The banner final will be played on Wednesday, Nov. 6 following the consolation match, which begins at 5:30 p.m.
The BurWest girls' volleyball championships will be hosted by Moscrop also on Monday. The final games will be played on Thursday, Nov. 7, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
