The Long Beach Poly girls volleyball team defeated the Millikan Rams on Tuesday, October 27 and the Wilson Bruins on Thursday, October 29 which resulted in the Jackrabbits winning the Co-Moore League Winner title with the Lakewood Lancers. The Jackrabbits also participated in the Redondo Union two-day volleyball tournament where Poly placed 3.
With scores of 25-18, 25-15, and 25-12, the Poly girls took another win in the league after playing Millikan High School.
The Jackrabbits came into Thursday confident after a hard week of practice and took their last Moore League win with scores of 25-20, 25-16, and 25-15 against Woodrow Wilson High School. The girls stuck together and were ecstatic because they beat their rival for the second time this year.
Because Poly and Lakewood both finished the league with the same number of wins and losses, both schools were named Moore League Champions. This was a great accomplishment for Poly girls volleyball because they haven’t claimed the league title since 2012.
From October 30 to the 31 the Jackrabbits attended a non-conference tournament at Redondo Union High School. With about 32 well-ranked high school volleyball teams, Poly was in for a challenging weekend. Facing the challenge head on, the Jackrabbits placed 2nd after beating Palo Verde High School and Buena High School and losing to Valencia High School on Friday, October 30. Saturday, October 31 Poly began playoffs by beating Flintridge Sacred Heart, Independence, and Notre Dame and losing the hard-fought battle against Redondo Union High School. Overall Poly fought hard and earned gold division 3rd place in tournament.
After speaking with Long Beach Poly’s libero, Frances Camandang, said, “I feel proud of how we played this weekend. We all connected and didn’t give up. No matter how tired we were, we stayed determined and pushed through. I’m lucky to be a part of this team.”
Frances expressed her gratitude for such a great team that works well together on and off the court.
As a whole, the players had a productive weekend that will help prepare them for the upcoming CIF matches in postseason playoffs where Poly will hopefully reach their goal of becoming CIF champions once again.
With such an amazing season it’s clear they will have a huge impact in the post season. This is the first year in a long time Poly will be crowned Moore League Champions and they look to carry this momentum in the playoffs.
