Eagle JV wins as Knight rally fails
The Christian Learning boys junior varsity defeated Cambridge 2-0 Tuesday, but had to fight off an attempted comeback by Cambridge in the second set.
The junior Eagles got through the first set with much difficulty, winning 25-12. However, the little Knights made things a lot hotter in the second set before succumbing 27-25.
The game was played at the International School. All of Tuesday's games between Christian learning and Cambridge were moved
to International because the Christian Learning soccer field was too wet to play on. Thursday's games will also be moved to International.
The player of the game was probably Eagle Alex Valencia whose "wicked" serves were key to the Eagle victory.

Griffin JV claws its way past Jaguars
The International boys junior varsity volleyball team came back after losing the first set to defeat Cooperative 2-1 in a game played Tuesday in the Jaguars's gym.
The games were hard-fought right from the start. The opening set was tied many times, including 24-24, before Cooperative prevailed 26-24.
It was the same in the second, which was tied at 23-23 before International this time was able to nail down the last two points and win 25-23.
In the deciding set International was able to get out in front 9-6, and then basically hold that margin to win 15-12, with the final point being decided only after a long rally in which both teams made several remarkable "gets."
Both teams played well, particularly on serves with nearly all players using overhand serves to good effect.
The outstanding players for the Griffins were Julio and Lucas Ribeiro, along with Alejandro Saldaño.
For the Jaguars Eduardo Ribera, who did some outstanding serving and rarely missed from the floor, along with Jorge Zankis and Alejandro Rosas.
