It was another great showing for Moore League boys’ volleyball on Thursday evening, as league champion Wilson and second-seeded Long Beach Poly both swept their second-round CIF-SS Division 3 opponents. The Bruins and Jackrabbits will both travel for road matches in the quarterfinals on Wednesday next week, and would both host semifinals on Saturday should they advance.
