Two more high schools around the Kelowna area are hosting provincial volleyball tournaments this week.
Okanagan Mission (OKM) and George Elliot Secondary (GESS) both will play host to senior women's volleyball provincials, with the Huskies the AAAA event and the Coyotes the AAA.
Among the Kelowna teams competing in the AAAA tournament are the host Huskies (ranked first in pool A), Mount Boucherie (second in pool A) and KSS (second in Pool B).
OKM is the top-ranked team in the province and are expected to be the favourite for the provincial title. They won the Best of the West tournament at KSS earlier this season and also picked up a tournament victory at the Red Serge tournament in Port Coquitlam.
Games begin at 10:30 am on Thursday, at OKM and Canyon Falls Middle School. Friday will be the beginning of the knockout rounds, while Saturday will have the semifinals and final match. The playoff games will be in a best-of-five, as the championship game is scheduled for 7:30 pm on Saturday.
