Patriots sweep Pirates by Kenny Lee Correspondent The Heritage boys’ volleyball team traveled to Pittsburg recently to take on the Pirates and swept the match by scores of 25-16, 25-7 and 25-11. Heritage Coach Bess Haldi, recognizing that the Pittsburg program is experiencing a down season, wanted to give the players an opportunity to try new positions, new sets and plays, allowing them to contribute in different ways. “I’m really pleased with today’s outcome,” said Haldi. “We worked on different options in practice this week, and this match allowed us to run some of them.” Senior setter Kyle Jones notched 21 assists, seven aces, four kills and four digs. Senior outside hitter Michael Favalora made eight digs, five kills and three aces. Junior OH Josh Ibarra logged 25 digs, three kills and three aces, and senior middle hitter Tanner Cook led the offense with six
kills and two digs. The victory moved to the Patriots to a 4-1 record in league play, good for second place behind Deer Valley and 13th overall in the East Bay. “Our only defeat came against Deer Valley, and they are definitely the team to beat,” said Haldi. “Also, Antioch is a team to watch.” In only its fourth year of varsity volleyball, Heritage has managed to make a statement, despite a roster fielding fewer club-level players than other schools. “This is not a club-heavy team at all,” Haldi said. “If these kids had played club ball … we could be unstoppable.” Because of the realignment of the Bay Valley Athletic League this year, Haldi is unsure about post-season play. Unlike football and basketball, there are no Division II championships in volleyball. However, based on the team’s performance against the Pirates and its current ranking, the playoffs are not beyond the realm of possibility.
