Redondo Union takes down No. 1 Mira Costa in boys

Redondo Union didn’t care that Mira Costa’s volleyball crew was ranked No. 1 in California. This was their South Bay rival coming to their gymnasium Thursday evening, and something can occur when a crew digs deep and doesn’t worry shedding.

The Sea Hawks (14-2) have been aggressive from the outset and got here away with a 27-25, 21-25, 25-22, 21-25, 15-13 victory.

“Chemistry,” setter Tommy Spalding said about the Sea Hawks’ triumph. He’s one of (*1*)three gamers headed to MIT, and all three had big matches.

At one level on back-to-back performs, Carter Mirabal had a block and Vaughan Flaherty adopted with a kill off an help from Spalding. Chemistry.

JR Boice, a Long Beach State commit, was delivering kills, and Cash Essert’s serving and all-around play stored Mira Costa’s Mateo Fuerbringer trying pissed off. The Sea Hawks’ focus was on Fuerbringer, who got here alive in the fifth set with six kills, but Redondo was in a position to come back from an 11-9 deficit.

It was only Mira Costa’s second loss in 25 matches. Redondo Union took over first place in the Bay League.
