Not a practice, not a match, it’s Not-e-book, our every-Friday look at girls volleyball throughout the state of California. You’ll read it. You’ll like it.
Sittin' on the top of the Bay
Statewide No. 2 Mira Costa (35-2) completed a perfect 10-0 run through the Bay League on Thursday – the last day any league matches could have been played in the Southern Section – with a workmanlike road sweep of statewide No. 18 Redondo Union, 25-19, 25-14, 25-18, behind 17 kills from sophomore Audrey Flanagan and 15 digs and 16 receptions from junior libero Taylor Deckert. The Mustangs now await Sunday’s announcement that they will be playing in Div. 1 of the playoffs because it is starting to be that time of the year…
Playoffs!!!!
Two days from now the Southern Section will announce pairings in NINE divisions for its championships, headlined by the eight teams that will make the two, four-team Div. 1 pools. This will be the second year that the Div. 1 championship format will be different than all the other divisions, which are brackets of as many as 32 teams. The Section finals are Nov. 3-4, followed by Regionals and the State Championships, held Nov. 17-18 at Santiago Canyon College in Orange.
The eight teams in Div. 1, which are expected to be Mater Dei, Costa, Huntington Beach, Sierra Canyon, Marymount, Alemany, Los Alamitos and Palos Verdes, in that order, all automatically advance to the Southern California Regional Championships, even if they go 0-3 in their respective pools.
Another 36 teams from the Southern Section will advance to play in the Regional tournament, as follows:
All quarterfinalists in Div. 2
All semifinalists in Divisions 3-9
The Southern Section playoffs start Tuesday with the Wild Card round.
The playoffs in the other sections will begin, in most cases, one week after the Southern Section. That extends the regular season for teams in these sections beyond Saturday’s last play date in the Southern Section.
The Los Angeles City and Sac-Joaquin Sections start playoffs on Oct. 23.
The Central, North Coast, Northern and San Diego Sections commence Oct. 24.
The San Francisco Section playoffs begin Oct. 27.
The Central Coast Section playoffs get underway on Oct. 28.
All will conclude section championships by Nov. 4, so that the Regionals, overseen by CIF State, can begin on Nov. 7.
The 10-team Oakland Section operates a little differently, with the top two finishers in the Oakland Athletic League moving on to regional play. That most likely will be Skyline and Oakland Tech.
A maximum of 178 teams from the sections will make the regional field in six divisions in the south and seven in the north. In addition to the 44 entrants from the massive Southern Section, the other sections will be able to send teams on to regionals, as follows:
San Diego Section – a maximum of 18 teams
Los Angeles Section – 15
Central Section – 16
Central Coast Section – 21
North Coast Section – 25
Sac-Joaquin Section – 23
Northern Section – 12
Oakland Section – 2
San Francisco Section -- 2
It all culminates in the state finals in mid-November, where six state champions will be crowned. Last year’s winners, in case you forgot, were:
Cathedral Catholic in the Open Division.
Branson in Div. I
Chaminade in Div. II
Archie Williams in Div. III
Ripon Christian in Div. IV
Berean Christian in Div. V
In addition, Fall River captured the NorCal-only Div. VI regional title.
Coast-a-ing at the Power Classic
Mira Costa romped through the Redondo/Mira Costa Power Classic, one of three huge late-season tournaments across the state last weekend. The Mustangs handled Long Beach Wilson, 25-23, 25-7, in the quarterfinals, dominated Las Vegas’ Bishop Gorman, 25-21, 25-12, in the semis, then overwhelmed surging Marymount, 25-12, 25-13, in the championship match.
Senior setter Charlie Fuerbringer was named tournament MVP for Costa. The Wisconsin recruit “can do actually anything on the court,” according to coach Cam Green. “She finds a way to put our girls in good situations and puts a ton of stress on every team that’s blocking us.”
Flanagan, who had 10 kills in the finals sweep; and physical middle Bryn Shankle, who had three kills and SEVEN blocks in the Marymount win, also made the All-Tournament team.
Marymount, which beat its seed for the second straight week, was represented on the All-Tournament team by attackers Cate Martin and Sammy Destler.
Los Alamitos, which is quietly having an outstanding fall campaign, tied Gorman for third and put Elon Milroy and Ashley Repetti on the All-Tournament team.
Wilson, Palos Verdes, Redondo and Long Beach Poly all made the quarterfinal round before falling.
Torrey Pining for title at SoCal Invitational
State No. 14 Torrey Pines won the 24-team Division 1 tournament at the Southern California Invitational, which featured teams from California, Hawaii, Washington, Arizona, Nevada and Florida.
The Falcons won the title by outlasting state No. 20 JSerra Catholic in the final. Torrey Pines lost Game 1 of the championship match by squandering three set points, then saw the Lions return the favor in the final set, as Torrey Pines fought off three match points to win, 18-16, on kill No. 17 from tournament MVP Finn Krystowiak, a 6-3 sophomore outside hitter. Layla Williams added 15 big kills, Sienna Sabotta had 18 digs and freshman setter Emery Gonzales contributed 34 assists, six digs, two blocks and two aces for the victors.
Freshman Katherine Nowak had nine kills and 10 digs in the loss for JSerra, which is expected to be one of the headliners in the Southern Section Div. 2 field. Tatum Johnson added five kills and five blocks and Jessica Bates contributed 19 assists, five digs and three blocks.
Silly Torrey Pines does the trophy pose after winning the SoCal Invitational in a tussle with JSerra that could have gone either way.
Mitty evens books at Stockton Classic
State No. 9 Archbishop Mitty defeated state No. 6 Saint Francis of Mountain View, its chief rival in the West Catholic Athletic League, the first time the two NorCal powers faced off this season.
Saint Francis got the better of the Monarchs the next two times.
On Saturday at the Stockton Classic, Mitty pulled even on the year with a 25-22, 27-25 win in the championship match of the 11-team main draw. The strong field would have been even stronger had state No. 11 Branson and No. 22 Redwood of Larkspur not withdrawn.
Mitty coach Jon Wallace said that it’s always emotional when his Monarchs take on Saint Francis. Not only are they league rivals, but his daughter, standout libero Whitney Wallace, is on the other side of the net. He said the two times Mitty has gotten the best of the Lancers this year came because his team was more focused and more determined.
“We talked all week before about doing our job to make sure we took care of them this time,” Wallace said.
When Saint Francis won the third match between the teams, just three days after beating Mitty in a consolation match at the Durango Fall Classic, senior OH Erin Curtis was unstoppable. Wallace said his team worked on a three-person block to slow down Curtis and equally potent outside Taylor Williams and were able to have success with it a handful of times. That and winning from behind the service line made enough of a difference to help the Monarchs prevail in a close match.
OH Katelyn Cook proved key to the win by passing well and balancing the attack with timely swings from the back row. Mitty also got good productivity on the right from Isabella Romero and Maya Baker, the talented junior setter, did her usual stellar job.
State No. 7 St. Mary’s of Stockton took third over No. 21 St. Ignatius. San Ramon Valley, St. Francis of Sacramento, Amador Valley and Pitman rounded out the top eight.
The teams could play two more times before it’s all said and done. If seeds hold, they will meet for the Central Coast Section title in the Open division and for the Northern California Open Division regional title.
“It’s sure to be coin toss volleyball,” Wallace said.
An August showing in the pre-season rankings
As the regular season winds down, let’s take a look back at the pre-season state rankings, which came out on Aug. 17. There were hits and misses…
The top five teams in the pre-season remain the top five teams today, although in different order.
Eighteen (18) teams in the pre-season top 25 remain ranked among the best teams in California. Four others, La Canada, Wilson, South Pasadena and San Ramon Valley, are on the cusp and are Region ranked. Yet one more, Edison of Huntington Beach (15-12), pulled off a five-set stunner over Huntington Beach to end the regular season.
Alemany, Campbell Hall and Palos Verdes are the three highest-ranked teams that were not as highly regarded in the pre-season.
Alemany and PV have had remarkable years considering they each lost their best player right before the season, Alemany OH London Wijay to reclassification (she is playing at USC) and Palos Verdes OH Kaci DeMaria to sitting out the year.
Campbell Hall entered the state rankings one week in after beating Oaks Christian, then flew to Hawaii and had a great showing, which included a split with Alemany. Here’s what we wrote about Campbell Hall in late August:
Kathleen Thyer takes over a Campbell Hall program that won its league last year and finished second in the Southern Section Div. 4 playoffs. The Vikings, who have impressed in a 2-0 start to 2023, return all of their starters, including setter Althea Morris, libero Isabella Marrero and pins Parker Van Zyl, Sierra Starkman and Mila Mijailovic. The squad will be “attack heavy” with good ball control to compensate for a relative lack of height.
Sultans of swing
Sultana, of Hesperia, started play in the Mojave River League by dropping six of its first seven matches, continuing a recent trend of adversity in league play. Over the past 2+ years, the Sultans had won just four league contests while losing 23. It did not appear that 2023 was going to be the year that Sultana snapped its four-year playoff drought.
Late in September, Sultana took on league rival Serrano, a team it lost to, 3-0, the first time around. The match went five sets, with Sultana pulling out the win, 15-13 in the third, on an ace from Mishelle Dominguez, who had a team-high 14 kills and 35 digs. It was Dominguez’ only ace of the match. Indeed, seven times during the match she had erred on her serve, a career high! She picked the right time to come through!
Five days later, Sultana played another five-set league thriller versus Hesperia, winning behind Maggie Warden’s 12 kills.
The Sultans then finished off a three-match league winning streak on Senior Night two days later with a sweep of Apple Valley, a match that showcased the team’s depth, as all 16 players contributed.
The three-match winning streak put Sultana in the running for the final league playoff berth, but the Sultans needed help. They got it when both Serrano and Hesperia lost again, forcing a three-way tie for third place. The tie breaker was best record over the second half of league, which went to Sultana and created a huge moment for the program!
Sultana's achievement was so eventful that even the school principal had to get in the picture!
In action last night from the state top 25…
We earlier recapped Mira Costa’s dominating win over Redondo, but there were several other top 25 teams in action yesterday, including a couple that were upset.
No. 3 Cathedral Catholic won two matches easily, over Sage Creek and Kamehameha School of Hawaii.
St. Mary’s of Stockton, Foothill of Pleasanton, Marymount, Campbell Hall, Sacred Heart Prep and JSerra also won.
New to the top 25 this week, St. Ignatius continued its strong play by sweeping Archbishop Riordan.
“I think the key is having kept our girls healthy (mentally and physically),” said coach Saga Vae. “Being able to have all our players cleared to play at this time of the season, our team is peaking at the right time. I believe we have one of the strongest benches in Northern California for sure. That is also key for our success.”
No. 23 Oaks Christian fell in four sets to La Canada. Ashby Zubchevich, a 6-1 junior OH, was unstoppable for La Canada.
“It was an amazing win by our team,” said coach Laura Browder! “Really proud of the teamwork I saw last night.”
No. 25 Rocklin was ahead two sets to one before succumbing to a Granite Bay rally.
In a key showdown between state-ranked teams, No. 11 Branson upended No. 22 Redwood of Larkspur in four behind 22 kills and 12 digs from Elena Fisher, 14 kills from Sadie Snipes, 18 digs from Lauren Dignan and 35 assists and 11 digs from Logan Tusher. The Bulls won thanks to terrific blocking at the net and suffocating back-row defense.
Jaden Hendrickson and Madeline Wagner teamed for 23 kills and 24 digs in the loss for the Giants.
News and notes…
Long Beach Wilson avenged an earlier loss to Long Beach Poly by defeating the Jackrabbits in four sets on Tuesday. The Bruins swept Lakewood yesterday to finish tied for first in Moore League play. Key to victory in both matches was the play of senior OH Babi Gubbins, a Stanford beach volleyball recruit and Mater Dei transfer. Gubbins was still finding her place on the court when I watched her Day 1 at the Durango Fall Classic, but coach Christopher Ceballos said that Gubbins “started picking it up on Day 2 of Durango when we played her future teammate, Avery Jackson [The Hockaday School; Dallas]. Since then she’s been our best player. Our best ball control player and always first or second in kills with Chloe Pravednikov. Prior to Durango she had only played two matches with us and our setters weren’t sure how to give her the ball. But now that the connection has been made, she’s been tearing it up.”

Sierra Canyon is 19-1 over its first two years in the Mission League, including 10-0 this season. The Mission is a six-team league that also includes Marymount, Alemany, Harvard-Westlake, Notre Dame Academy and Marlborough, which makes it one of the toughest leagues in the state…
***
Milpitas hosts “Spikefest II” on Saturday. The 32-team field includes Burlingame, Lowell, Palo Alto, Sacred Heart Cathedral, Santa Cruz and University Prep.
***
Clovis had won seven matches in a row as of yesterday to climb back to .500 on the season. The current streak includes impressive wins back-to-back over Buchanan and Clovis North, both in five sets.
“We have four sophomores and one freshman who start for us,” noted coach Rich Lake. “They had to learn how to compete at this level. The early tough schedule gave them the experience needed to gain that knowledge. Also, senior outside hitter Layney Ballard is back from blowing her knee out last season. She needed a little time to gain confidence to play on her knee.”
***
Redwood of Visalia won twice last week to improve to 29-5 on the year. One win was No. 700 all-time for head coach Alana Montgomery, over 33 years on the varsity bench for the Rangers. During her tenure, Montgomery has overseen 17 league titles and six Central Section titles.

Oaks Christian was 10-0 in Marmonte League play, a carbon copy of its effort in league the previous two seasons.
Oaks Christian has been untouched in the Marmonte League the past three seasons.
***
Mountain View got its biggest win of the season by taking down Los Gatos on Tuesday. The last time the Spartans defeated Los Gatos on the road was 2019. Kendyll Winn had 36 digs in the four-set win. Mallory Berent contributed 19 kills.
***
South Pasadena senior setter Kendall Taylor eclipsed 2,000 career assists on Tuesday in a gritty 3-0 win over La Canada, which two overscore sets.
Kendall Taylor and coach Ivy Chew celebrate 2,000 assists for the senior setter from South Pasadena.
Unsung Heroes
We asked coaches this week to tell us about their team’s “unsung hero.” An unsung hero is a player who probably does not start or, if she does, is not one who fills the stat sheet, but is integral to team success for any number of myriad reasons.
Here is what we received:
Deeya Bhalodia, 5-7 Sr. DS, Beckman – “Deeya would be a starting libero at just about any other school in California,” noted coach Darin McBain. “With our group, she has stepped into a crucial defensive specialist role that has been absolutely vital to our success this season. We would absolutely not be where we are without her. Her ability on defense, in serve receive and as a team leader and teammate are incredible.”
Lola Brown, 6-0 Sr. MB, Sierra Canyon – A solid and consistent performer all season for a top five team in the state, Brown is a natural blocker whose ability at the net elevates her team’s defensive play every set. “Her confidence and volleyball IQ have increased tremendously since last year and she is without a doubt our most improved player,” said coach Stef Wigfall. “She has solidified herself as one of our most impactful players due to her blocking and improved offense.”
Sierra Starkman, 5-8 Sr. OH, Campbell Hall – Starkman plays six rotations for the state-ranked Vikings. “She is one of our best defenders, scores points for us, and puts teams out of system with her serve,” said coach Kat Thyer. “Her presence is truly crucial to the success of our team.”
Unsing hero Sierra Starkman (Campbell Hall) excels all over the court.
