It has been a rough couple of weeks for the young program. The OHS varsity volleyball boys have dropped seven straight matches.

Iker Juarez hit an ace for Oakdale, putting the Mustangs down 6-8. Lucas Freitas then found a hole in the defense to make it a 7-9 game. Mountain House went on a run to make it a 22-11 lead for the home team Mustangs, resulting in a time out for Oakdale. Ultimately, Oakdale lost the first set 11-25 and fell in set two, 14-25, with a 13-25 final in set three. Carter Birchall had an ace and getting some good blocks were Meza and Chaleb Leon.
