Girls Volleyball:
Glendora didn’t just win its third consecutive Palomares League championship.
The Tartans did so with an exclamation mark.
GHS swept second-place Bonita to finish 10-0 in league matches.
The Tartans won by scores of 25-20, 25-14 and 25-20.
In their 10 Palomares League matches, Glendora won 30 of its 31 sets.
And they won all six sets against the runner-up Bearcats.
Bonita got nine kills, five blocks and eight digs from senior Sara Wilson.
Sadie Harper chipped in with eight kills, two blocks, four digs and an ace.
For GHS, Hailey Heflin led the way.
Heflin finished with 15 kills, including a .314 hitting percentage and 25 digs.
Brooklynne Traficante contributed 12 kills and a .647 hitting percentage.
Gianna Perez had six aces and 23 digs for the Tartans.
If you were wondering, the one set lost in league play was the first game at Claremont on September 11th, where the Wolfpack edged the Tartans, 25-23, and then GHS rattled off three consecutive games.
Up next: BHS and GHS will get their first-round CIF-SS playoff opponent this Saturday at 10 am.

Quotable:
Glendora coach, Erin Noriega: “We set our sights on this league championship straight from the get go this season. We knew we had to make some strides and adjustments as individuals and a team after losing some pivotal players last year. We have done a lot of mental work alongside the physical this year and I’m really happy with how it has played out. We have come to terms with this seasons identity and now have our eyes set for CIF.”
Records: Bonita (14-9, 8-2); Glendora (20-6, 10-0)
