The Dos Pueblos High girls volleyball team has been ranked No. 7 in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25 national poll.
The Chargers return several players from last year’s squad that lost in the CIF final to crosstown rival Santa Barbara. Among those returnees are senior twins Carly and Samantha Wopat, who both have committed to Stanford. Carly, a 6-2 middle blocker, and Samantha, a 6-1 outside hitter, played with the U.S. Youth National Team this summer.
The Chargers also return setters Paige Crane and Sammie Brown, as well as outside hitter Sally Yingst. Brown was first-team all-league while Crane made the second team and Yingst was an honorable mention.
Dos Pueblos is among three California teams ranked in the national top 10. Archbishop Mitty of San Jose is the top-rated team and Manhattan Beach-Mira Costa is No. 2.
When was the last time a top 10 team lost a coach the way they did?
