BOYS’ VOLLEYBALL

The American Heritage boys’ volleyball team evened its mark at 2-2 on Tuesday by defeating Pine Crest 25-22, 20-25, 25-22, 25-22.

Leading the Patriots were setter Daylan Holness, outside hitter Tyler Brant, middle hitter Sebastian Carrizosa, outside hitter Matthew Jeong, libero Leonardo Marques, and the twins JayaSai Somasundar­am (opposite side hitter) and VijayaSai Somasundar­am (middle hitter).

“It’s been challengin­g this season, and we’re just happy to have a team competing,” said Coach Lisa Moreau, director of volleyball for the school. “We have a good amount of experience­d players from last year, and the school is being incredibly safe, requiring our varsity athletes to do online schooling.

“We’re practicing a little later, and we’re wearing our masks. The players are making the most of it with positive attitudes, and they are really fun to coach.”

Moreau is in her fourth season at American Heritage, coaching the boys’ and girls’ volleyball teams. She was a former coach with the club program Hurricane Volleyball in Weston. She played high school volleyball in Massachuse­tts. An injury ended her college playing endeavors, but she transition­ed nicely to coaching, something she’s been doing since her teenage days.

As for her American Heritage boys’ team, the Patriots will play Western in a district final in late April to see who advances to regionals. Because of the pandemic, it’s only a two-team district this season.

The Wildcats beat American Heritage in four sets earlier in the season, and they will have a regular-season rematch on Wednesday.

Last season there was no season (because of Covid) and no Senior Night, but this year, Heritage is not only competing but will have a Senior Night.
