Here is the official Cal-Hi Sports State Team of the Year list for girls volleyball with Archbishop Mitty of San Jose added on for 2017 and going back to 1972. While the Monarchs lead the state with 14 CIF state titles, they still have some catching up to do to be State Team of the Year as many times as Mira Costa of Manhattan Beach.

The good news when there is an Open Division of the CIF state championships in any sport is that it takes out any debate about which team should be considered State Team of the Year.
That wasn’t the case prior to 2016, however, when there were choices that had to be made. That’s one reason why Mira Costa of Manhattan Beach still has the most State Team of the Year honors even though Archbishop Mitty of San Jose now has three in a row and six No. 1 finishes in the last 10 years. Mira Costa also was chosen No. 1 for two early seasons before the CIF even started doing state championships 40 years ago.
For Mitty to tie the Mustangs for the most No. 1 state rankings, the program still has three more to go.
