Despite losing 2-3 to Irvine Valley in the semifinals of the State Championship April 27, the men’s volleyball team ended the season with a 14-5 record.
Head Coach Eddie Stanislawski was selected as the Western State Conference Coach of the Year and Joe Padapolous was named to the All State Tournament team, both for their impressive performances.
With only one loss at home, this season’s team earned an amazing reputation as the team to beat. Aside from being named to the Tournament team, Padapolous was also selected with teammates Rory Brandt and Kyle Luongo to the Western State First team All-Conference.
Respectively, Ryan Duncan, Terry Galbreath and Joseph Landry were awarded Second team All-Conference.
Stanislawski has something to be proud of walking into next season, considering his Coach of the Year title.
Perhaps this will influence his men into a spot in the final.
