The Estancia High boys volleyball team swept visiting Ocean View,
25-13, 25-22, 25-19, to clinch sole possession of the Golden West
League title. The Eagles (23-6, 12-0 in league) have swept every
league opponent they have faced this year.
Coach Tracey Ingraham said tough serves and hard hitting were the
keys to Estancia's win. Scott Sankey had 12 kills, Kris Hartwell had
nine and Josh Kornegay six to lead the Estancia attack.
Trevor Holmes finished with 29 assists in the match and Brad
Larsen had seven service aces and 11 digs for the Eagles, who will
wait for CIF Southern Section playoff pairings to be announced
Monday.
