Volleyball talent in the Bay League is off the charts

Southern California high schools have long been a breeding ground for college volleyball recruits and perhaps no league is loaded with as much Division 1 talent this fall as the Bay League.
Many of the girls play club together, but when they put on their school jerseys the rivalries are intense, the rallies are long and the stakes are high.
A playoff atmosphere exists whenever the teams face each other because each result is crucial toward determining postseason seedings.
Redondo Union coach Tommy Chaffins compared the competitiveness in Bay League volleyball to that of the Trinity League in football. Palos Verdes coach Lacy Minzlaff said it is the best league in the country, and Mira Costa’s Cam Green admitted that in the Bay League there is no such thing as an easy match.
The margins are slight but the respect is immense.
