Valencia volleyball wins first league title in nine years

For the first time in nine seasons, the boys' volleyball Foothill League title returned to Valencia, where it remained for years in the late 2000s. The Vikings clinched the league title April 11 with a 3-1 win at Canyon. Brendan Riley has been with the program for 15 years but led the way in lifting Valencia back to the summit in his first season as head coach. “It was a great, great feeling,” Riley said in a phone interview.
