The Ponte Vedra High School (PVHS) boys volleyball team ended their regular season with a respectable record of 8-7. On Monday, Apr. 22, PVHS swept St. Augustine High School, 3-0. The set scores were 25-17, 32-30, and 25-11. Each set was varied and hard-fought, but the PVHS Sharks pulled off another clean sweep for the season. “Our team worked well together to secure this win; especially in the second set when we fought for every point. We never gave up and that helped us dominate this match,” described senior middle blocker, Hunter Calamari. Calamari led the team in blocks and kills from the middle.
“We play Nease again in the district tournament. We know we must work on serve-receive and digging in order to beat them.”
