It was a weekend that featured rainy weather, but unlike the football games on Friday night the weather didn't play a factor with volleyball tournament of course being played inside a gym. Jackson Heights played host over the weekend to seven other Delaware Valley League teams in a tournament before the league tournament matchups come about this week.
