Boys Volleyball:
Winning championships has its privileges.
And that’s the case for the Monrovia boys volleyball program.
After a 5-5 run, and a third-place finish in Rio Hondo League matches, the Wildcats found their stride and made history.
Monrovia went 8-0 in the 2022 postseason, which included CIF-SS Division 6, and CIF State Division 4 championships.
MHS defeated Saddleback in the CIF-SS D-6 title match and closed out 2022 with a five-set victory over Mar Vista in the CIF-SS D-4 finals.
Monrovia middle blocker, Gunnar Keeling, earned CIF-SS Division 6 Player of the Year status, and his coach, Marvin Fong, was rightfully selected as Coach of the Year.
