The California Southern Section state beach volleyball championships have been ongoing, but now it’s officially time to determine who wins a title.
Southern California is a giant in the world of beach volleyball, with many teams that rank nationally in talent. Four divisions began play last week, but now only two programs remain in each. Division 1 is headlined by powerhouse squads Mira Costa and JSerra Catholic.
According to MaxPreps, Mira Costa is the overall top-ranked team in the tournament, with a 23-1 record on the season. JSerra ranks fifth, but the Lions were able to defeat top-performing Redondo Union 3-2 in the semifinals, carrying them to the final.
Eight teams will battle it out for a state trophy at Long Beach City College this weekend.
