The girls' volleyball program is off to a strong start this season, with all three levels showing progress and determination. The Frosh/Soph team has started the season with one of its best starts in recent years, earning a 3–1 record with wins over Long Beach Jordan High School, Century High School, and Dominguez High School. Their only loss came against Rialto High School. This young group is learning quickly, gaining confidence each week, and looks forward to continued growth as the season unfolds.
The Junior Varsity team has found its rhythm after dropping its first two games, and is now on a two-game winning streak with back-to-back victories against Century High School and Dominguez High School. With talent spread across multiple grade levels, this is one of the most skilled JV squads in the past three years. The team is steadily improving, using each practice and game as an opportunity to build momentum and grow stronger together.
The Varsity team is also off to one of its best starts in recent memory, holding a 2–2 record as they prepare for their first league matchup against Savanna High School. Led by captains Liana Duran (12th grade), Ruby Rodriguez (12th grade), and Eleanor Kailiponi (10th grade), the group focuses on developing its identity while finding the right balance through various lineups. Head Coach Alonso Ledezma shared, “This early in the season, we’re still figuring out our identity as a team and what we’re capable of accomplishing. We’ve tried different lineups, and I truly believe we have a great group of student-athletes. This is one of the strongest groups I’ve coached, and our goal is to make the playoffs this year.”
The Varsity roster features a well-balanced mix of experience and new energy, with seven returning players—Liana Duran, Ruby Rodriguez, Veronica Peña, Eceiri Lavina, Cayla Martinez, Monserrat Aviles, and Eleanor Kailiponi—joined by six newcomers eager to contribute. Together, they are determined to achieve more wins than in any previous season and earn a CIF playoff berth! Coach Ledezma also approaches a career milestone: with 18 total wins, he is just six victories away from tying the school record of 24, and seven away from surpassing it.
With strong leadership, a committed group of athletes, and growing community support, the girls volleyball program is poised for a season filled with growth, milestones, and success.
