It also doesn\u2019t hurt to have the league\u2019s MVP from last season (Andon Beall) as the captain and leader of the group. It\u2019s like having a second coach out there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beall picked up where he left off last season, leading the Knights with 11 kills on 18 attempts and only one hitting error. He also had three assists, two aces and a block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other Kelseyville leaders in the team\u2019s season opener were Diego Rico with 12 assists, nine digs and three aces, Miguel Corona with four assists, three aces and three digs, Kolby Medina with four kills, and George Cline, a freshman libero, with 22 digs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe boys came out hungry tonight,\u201d White said. \u201cWe are only returning three students from last year\u2019s team, so we have a lot of students with little to no volleyball experience, but you wouldn\u2019t have known that from their performance tonight. They played loose, free. They\u2019re only going to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDiego Rico had some amazing sets tonight, including a crosscourt back set that was really something,\u201d White said. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t know that he had only been playing volleyball for two weeks, and I can say that about almost everyone on my team. Tonight was pretty fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelseyville hosts Round Valley on Thursday at 6 p.m. in the league opener for both teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under new management, Knights sweep Ukiah in straight sets at Kelseyville Lake County Sports on Facebook KELSEYVILLE &gt;&gt; The Kelseyville High School boys volleyball team enters the season with a new coach but the same winning results as it took care of business with a 25-20, 25-13, 25-16 non-league victory over the Ukiah Wildcats on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,86,17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5697"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5697"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5697\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5698,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5697\/revisions\/5698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
