Boys volleyball remains undefeated; dominates league with confidence

The boys volleyball team is still on a high from their close win against Poway on Thursday, April 16.

The game was very close. MC creamed Poway in the first and second games, winning 25-13 and 25-16. Poway made a comeback and took the fourth and fifth games, winning 16-25 and 20-25. MC managed to come back and win the fifth game 15-10.

“We played a very good game against Poway, and they always bring our game up a level because of the intense rivalry that we have with them,” junior Bobby Luft said. “We all were just very focused, and really wanted to beat them because we lost to them in a tournament, and they were favored to win the game.”

The boys are dominating in the Valley League with a league record of 3-0.

“Our team has showed huge improvements in playing well as a team no matter who is on the court,” junior Nick England said. “There isn’t much to work on, sometimes staying more positive, but overall we are gelling well and we are playing extremely well together.”

Luft feels like the new league is a bit of a blessing and a curse.

“Our old league had a lot of very good teams in it to push our game to the max, but I feel that the league we are in now is not as strong but with all the wins we have [it] is giving us the confidence that we need to do well in CIF’s,” Luft said.

They are confident about their chances of earning a second consecutive CIF title.

I think that our biggest competition in CIF’s will be either Westview or Valhalla both are very good teams, but we have beat them both previously this season,” Luft said.
