JV Boys Volleyball
---

By Steven Giordano

Spring league play has finally gotten underway and junior varsity men’s volleyball teams around the WCAL are ready to play hard in this 2005 season. The Valley Christian JV Warriors have gotten their taste of this year’s West Catholic Athletic League competition.

March 1 brought the team to their first league match-up. Unfortunately they ran into the Monarchs of Archbishop Mitty, a consistently powerful force no matter what sport or at what level. The first game of the ‘best of three’ regular format was constantly back and forth until Mitty pulled away at the end. Yet the Warriors got even closer to the Monarchs yet couldn’t quite pull off the final points they needed; the score ended 25-22 and 25-23. This was an impressive showing, especially for their first match of league play as well as against this opponent.

The Warriors then played host to the visiting Bells of Bellarmine. Another steadfast opponent, Bellarmine came into the competition undefeated with a record of 3-0. Valley Christian again attained the same result as they were felled by the Bells.

The Valley Christian junior varsity boys volleyball team is playing hard and looking forward to the final month of the 2005 spring season. Headed by coach Lance Kilpatrick, these Warriors are preparing to take control of the second half.
