Julian Harake put away 12 kills and Max Johnston added 10 with three blocks on Thursday, but the Laguna Blanca boys volleyball team couldn’t slow down visiting Rio Mesa in a 25-23, 25-23, 20-25, 9-25 defeat.
“It was a pretty good prep volleyball match. They just had a little better control than us in transition,” said first-year Laguna coach Bobby Sanchez. “This was the best Rio Mesa team I’ve seen since the early 90s.”
Sanchez also praised libero Dawson Ingersoll for a steady job in the back row.
The Owls (0-2) host Fillmore next.
