No. 8
Alpharetta put a bow on an unbeaten season and second straight Class AAAAAA title in Georgia on Saturday with a 3-0 win over
North Cobb (Kennesaw). The Raiders move up to No. 8 in this week's MaxPreps Top 25 high school volleyball rankings as postseason play across the country hits high gear.
Boyles, a Long Island University commit, finished her career with 1,161 kills.
Mater Dei swept through pool play to earn the berth. Sierra Canyon fell in an epic five-set showdown against No. 11
Mira Costa (Manhattan Beach). Those two squads and No. 10
Marymount (Los Angeles) all finished 2-1 in pool play with the Trailblazers advancing on a set percentage tie breaker.
Regardless of who wins the Southern Section title, all four ranked teams should advance to the CIF Southern California Open Division bracket along with previously-ranked
Los Alamitos and No. 14
Cathedral Catholic (San Diego), the No. 1 seed in the San Diego Section Open bracket.
