No disrespect to Lars Bornemann, chosen the provincial boys AAA volleyball most outstanding player. But you know youB次元官网网址檙e on a good team when picking an MVP is a crapshoot.

The razor sharp Oak Bay Barbers cut through the competition to win the teamB次元官网网址檚 first provincial championship since 2006.

The final match was a three-set sweep of SurreyB次元官网网址檚 Earl Marriot Mariners 25-16, 25-20, and 25-15.

With so much skill throughout his roster, coach Allan Carmichael said it doesnB次元官网网址檛 matter what game the opponents use against them.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e able to tailor our game plan to our opponents and the kids are able to do whatever we ask,B次元官网网址� he said.

Against the Mariners, it meant countering the pair of 6-foot-7 middles by pushing the ball outside.

B次元官网网址淎s a result, it showcased our outside hitters, Bornemann being one of them,B次元官网网址� Carmichael said.

And Bornemann came through, leading the attack with 19 kills on 31 attacks with power hitter Nick Stefanakis managing 11 kills.

The Barbers dominated the all-star team selections with Alex Swiatlowski (Grade 12) and Ryan Marcellus (Grade 12) named to the first team along with Leon Young (Grade 11) and Stefanakis (Grade 12).

Elion Wong (Grade 11) was named the tournamentB次元官网网址檚 most outstanding libero.

ItB次元官网网址檚 that depth and positional flexibility that makes the Barbers so powerful.

B次元官网网址淚f Earl Mariott had outside blockers instead of middles, then it will probably be (6-foot-7) Swiatlowski showcasing his abilities attacking in the middle (and possibly winning outstanding player),B次元官网网址� Carmichael said.

Swiatlowski, the teamB次元官网网址檚 captain, has committed to play for UBC Okanagan next year. It will be the schoolB次元官网网址檚 first season in the CIS.

Of the other graduating players on the roster, only centre Ryan Marcellus has currently indicated where heB次元官网网址檒l play next year. Marcellus will join the Camosun Chargers for a chance to play with older brother Garrett in his final year at Camosun.

Coincidentally, Garrett was on the last Oak Bay team to win the provincials.

An extremely talented passer, Stefanakis is expected to play at the college level, and has the ability to be a strong libero, said Carmichael, though as a Barber heB次元官网网址檚 often tasked with other assignments. All in all, the Barbers are returning an incredibly strong team for next year centred around Wong and Young, two of the best defensive players Carmichael has ever coached.

The Oak Bay Breakers finshed 14th at the AAAA girls provincials.
