Boys Volleyball

   The boy’s volleyball team had two games and a tournament this past week. The first game was against Mt. Carmel on Tuesday, Apr. 18th, a home game they would win three-zero in sets, officially tying the record for more regular season wins in a season in Mission Hills history. Their next game would break it, and just like that on Wednesday, Apr. 19th, with a three-zero win against Ramona, the boy’s volleyball would get their 23 wins of the season, and break the regular, solidifying themselves into the record books. Following those two incredible games, the boy’s volleyball team would have a tournament from Friday, Apr. 21st to Saturday, Apr. 22nd, with two-zero victories against Sweetwater, El Capitan, El Camino, La Jolla, and Canyon Crest Academy, with their only tournament lost being against Otay Ranch, by a score of two-zero in sets. This upcoming week, the boy’s volleyball team had two major games, the first being for League Champs and the second being Senior Night. The first game would be for winning the league, thus a very important game for the Grizzlies and San Dieguito Academy. On Tuesday, Apr. 25th, the Grizzlies will travel to San Dieguito to play for the league at 6:00 p.m. The boy’s volleyball Senior Night is this Friday, Apr. 28th, against Classical Academy at 6:00 p.m. Come out, support, and congratulate the incredible seniors of the year!
