When two champions face each other, the match is not supposed to be easy.
That’s how it was when Madison High visited nearby Parker on Thursday night with a berth in the Southern California Regional Division III boys volleyball final at stake.
“I don’t care who we play or whether it’s at home or on the road,” Parker junior Ryan Fox after registering the final kill of the match. “I just want to bring our best game to Saturday night.”The win was the fifth straight victory for the Lancers as they snapped Madison’s 17-match winning streak. Madison, the No. 3 seed, fell to 33-4 but not without a fight behind senior Cole Hauser, who had 12 kills and three blocks in the last two sets.
Parker emerged at the start of the fourth set, taking the lead for good at 5-4 on the way to an 18-9 lead. Madison closed the deficit to 22-18 behind Hauser. Then, Fox tallied his team’s last three points. Madison, which had a 15-7 edge in blocks, hurt itself with 14 serving errors. Hauser had 16 kills and nine blocks for the Warhawks, who also got nine kills and a block from Nate Valverde, seven kills from freshman Allen Sola and six kills and a block from Mason Churchill.
