The Open Boys defeated HB, but unfortunately, the JV and Varsity teams fell short. Exceptional races on the men’s side by Brandon Bees, Jimmi Arroyo, and Kai Fujita. Good luck to all levels next week as they compete against Newport Harbor at home.
The Boys Volleyball team was very close in all 3 matches last night against Newport Harbor and were stoked that they battled the best team in the league as well as they did.  The player of the match was Downey Huynh.  We are very proud of how well the Frosh team, under Coach Robert Le, has been doing.
