Support our high school sports coverage by becoming a digital subscriber.Last season was somewhat of a whirlwind for Westlake boys volleyball. The Warriors only played 10 matches and Vanessa Murray, the interim head coach, guided the team to the quarterfinals of the CIF Southern Section Division 3 playoffs.
Despite only having two returners on this year’s roster, the Warriors got out to a 12-2 start partially thanks to the leadership of their captains Jackson Burrows and Owen Ye. Murray describes Ye, a four-year varsity player, as an all-around player who can set, hit pass and block. Burrows is valuable at middle and sets a precedent for accountability.
The Warriors have competed in one tournament so far this season, winning the 34th Annual Venice Invitational Varsity Volleyball Tournament. They won all nine matches in the gold bracket en route to the championship.Chatsworth boys volleyball has one of the most talented rosters in the LA City Section in terms of skill, as coach Sina Aghassy sees it. But it’s also a group of players that has been relatively untested.
“It’s a group that I think has been affected by COVID a ton,” Aghassy said. “They’ve adjusted and it’s just gotta be growth. We have the talent, it’s just a matter of can we grow it to the level of being ready at the end of the year?” CJ Blankenship, a 6-foot-4 All-City Section player, returns at outside hitter to lead the Chancellors in his senior year. Jamaal Unuakhalu adds more height as a 6-foot-7 middle after missing last season.
