Servite 3, Santa Barbara High 0 (Div. 3)
The Dons had their season come to an end with a sweeping loss to Servite in the second round of the CIF-SS Div. 3 playoffs on Friday, 14-25, 14-25, 21-25.
“In game three, we finally woke up and started playing as a team. Unfortunately, it was a little too late, and we couldn’t put it all together tonight,” Santa Barbara High head coach Chad Arneson said.
“This was definitely a tough loss to swallow. I’m proud of these boys and what they’ve accomplished this year. Obviously, it wasn’t the way we wanted it to end. Seniors Jackson McDermott, Kristian Dybdahl, Marco Diipadova and Henry Becker will be missed.”
Maddox Denver dished out 22 assists for the Dons, while Hayes Costner supplied a team-high 10 kills.
