NEW Girls VB State Top 20
Defending CIF Open Division champion Archbishop Mitty makes a Labor Day weekend trip to Orange County and the results of those matches cause some changes.

CIF D1 state champ Edison did land fourth, but D2 champion Cathedral Catholic couldn’t crack the final Top 20 and neither could D3 titlist Acalanes of Lafayette. Cathedral Catholic and nine other teams, however, were placed in […]
