East tops West in volleyball; Garces tennis blanks BHS | Sports

When West High moved from the South Yosemite Mountain League to the South Yosemite Horizon League in an offseason league realignment it took away what had been a good, competitive battle whenever the Vikings and East High would meet a couple of times a season.

“I’ve always enjoyed playing East,” West volleyball head coach Kelsey Johnson said. “It’s always a good match and they are sometimes our toughest opponent. It’s a fun game. Stressful, but fun.”
