The team now sits at 10–6 overall and 3–1 in league play. Next up, they hit the road to take on Yorba Linda on Wednesday before hosting Esperanza on Friday.

Keep it rolling, Raiders!

The night was made even more special as we celebrated our 8 amazing senior athletes.

Boys Volleyball 🏐

This week, our Raiders celebrated their Seniors in a special home matchup against El Dorado Golden Hawks. Our Seniors showed up and competed at a high level, leaving it all on the court. While we came up just short in four hard-fought sets, the effort and energy were undeniable.

On Thursday, the Raiders hit the road to face a tough Division 1 opponent in Cypress Centurions. Despite the result, our team battled against top-tier competition and continues to grow stronger with every match.
