ROHNERT PARK >> Kelseyville High School\u2019s boys volleyball team went 1-4 on Saturday during the NorCal Invitational, yet there was some reason to celebrate for the Knights following the day-long tournament against large-school competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe finally won a match in tournament play this season,\u201d said Kelseyville head coach Kc White, who scheduled a number of tournaments for the Knights this season in order to sharpen their skills for league play (Kelseyville is second in the North Central League I standings at 8-1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe broke an 0-11 streak in tournaments this season,\u201d White said. \u201cThe tournament are really tough and filled with high-quality competition, so finding a way to win a match is a big accomplishment for our fairly young team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville\u2019s one win came in three sets over Marin Catholic. The Knights lost in two sets to Heritage, El Cerrito, Burton and Rancho Cotate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe played Heritage tough in the first set (14-14 at one point) before succumbing in the end,\u201d White said. \u201cThat was the bright spot of the morning to be honest. We got our butts kicked the rest of group play.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added White, \u201cHowever, the team regrouped in the afternoon and beat Marin Catholic in three sets. What an adventure that one was. We won the first set pretty comfortably, and we were leading in the second set by quite a big margin before collapsing and gifting them the second. It was one of those sets that really could have led to a poor performance in the final set, but to my team\u2019s credit, they went out and played the way they had in the first set and a half. Luckily for us, the final set was played to 15 so we didn\u2019t have time to overthink it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George Cline was Kelseyville\u2019s standout player during the day, according to White.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis passing and serve receive today, for the most part, were fantastic,\u201d White said. \u201cHe put the ball in the perfect spot for the setter consistently. It\u2019s days like today that get me really excited for his trajectory because he\u2019s only a freshman and there has been so much growth in just the two months that he\u2019s been playing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville has next week off for spring break. The Knights resume league play Monday, April 13 in Laytonville.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
