With an impressive record of 12-7, Boys Varsity Volleyball has both defied and exceeded expectations in showing that they are some of Arcadia’s very best. When asked about their overall record, Sophomore Alex Yen commented,”We started this season a lot better than we had anticipated, but as we played more games, I noticed some of us being much more reckless and overconfident in our plays.”

Boys Volleyball began the spring season with a phenomenal start, holding a record of 9-2 back in March. However, even with a great start into the season, the team’s play-making ability began to decline. After experiencing five more losses as of May, Sophomore William Zhu shines some light on the situation saying,”These losses definitely take a toll on the team, but we’re continuing to practice harder and improving our team chemistry.”

CIF is an undeniable goal for many sports teams, especially for our Boys Varsity Volleyball. Although the team has recently experienced more losses, its goals are definitive and set high for CIF. Even if it means more rigorous conditioning and longer practices, the team is willing to commit almost anything for success.

On the topic of preparations for CIF, Alex stated, ”As the season is coming closer to an end, we’re becoming more focused on our long-term goal: CIF. That means more practicing, more scrimmaging, and more pressure on not only me but really the whole team.” The team is truly focused on the aspect of winning and its strengths lie in its abilities to do so. William comments,“I think we win most of our games because of the constant practicing we do, but I also think it has to do with the fact that we just really want to win.” Boys Varsity Volleyball is clearly shown having a profound reputation for success and is also, without a doubt, a team that has impressed many this season. If their success continues, more victories alongside a potentially spot in CIF will become much more than feasible goals. Best of luck to Boys Volleyball!
