BOYS VOLLEYBALL *** BOYS TENNIS *** BASEBALL *** SOFTBALL
The spring’s first CIF poll for boys tennis was released on Monday, framing the hardcourt’s hierarchy for the coming couple of months. While other CIF-SS polls are markedly lean on Santa Barbara schools, Santa Barbara High and Cate were given top-5 rankings.
The Dons and Rams are both No. 4 in their respective divisions, I & IV.
Santa Barbara, which plays at No. 6 Harvard-Westlake on Wednesday, lost in last season’s CIF quarterfinals to Mater Dei, the No. 7 team in Division I to start this season. Cate reached last year’s Div. IV semifinals but lost at Laguna Beach, which is No. 2 this year.
Cate’s baseball team is the only other local high school found in any baseball, softball or boys volleyball poll. There are no polls in swimming, track and boys golf.
