Richmond Air Attack boys beach volleyball teams took first and second place at provincials this past weekend – after playing each other in the finals.
At the B.C. Beach Volleyball Provincial Championship, held at various beaches in Vancouver, Ethan Chan, from McMath secondary, and Richmond Christian School's Isaac James clinched the provincial title.
Tyler Tran, also from McMath, and Nathan Yee, from Richmond Christian School, lost to Chan and James in the finals and placed second.
The two Richmond teams competed against Victoria and Okanagan in the three-set 16U semifinals, putting them into the finals against each other.
The Richmond boys’ volleyball teams were coached by Daniel Wong from Air Attack and have been practising on a makeshift court in Steveston since their high schools and clubs cancelled the volleyball seasons due to COVID-19.
