Owls lose to flashes, fall into third place

Freddy Williamson’s five kills and three digs couldn’t save Laguna Blanca’s boys volleyball team from slipping down to third place in the Condor League with a 23-25, 25-22, 25-18, 25-22 at Fillmore.

“All of the games were pretty close and it was exciting volleyball, but we were unfortunately on the short end of the stick,” said coach Bobby Sanchez. “We had a good start to the season, but it seems all of our opponents are getting better and we are at a standstill… We’re treading water, and we’re still in it.”

The Owls (7-6, 6-3) wrap up the regular season with must-win matches against Dunn, OVS and rival Cate.
