Patagonia concluded its regular season on Friday night with a resounding 25-14, 25-13, 25-10 victory over San Simon. 

The Lobos didn’t stop fighting, but they were unable to muster consistent effort against an elite opponent on the road. Next up: Lourdes Catholic.

A share of first place will be on the line when the Lobos visit St. David today. The two teams last met three weeks ago, with the Lobos suffering a heartbreaking loss at home.

Here’s a brief update on the Patagonia Lobos varsity volleyball squad. The PRT’s regular coverage will resume next week.

The art teacher has been at Elgin School since 2004. “I absolutely love it,” she said. “We have a culture of rowing a boat together.”

“I’m so honored,” Hayes said as she accepted the award. “Look at all these wonderful educators up here. I’m among the best.”

“What I’m most proud of is how my girls are competing overall,” coach Brenda Somoza said. “Their ability to stay mentally strong has improved so much compared to last year.”

The Lobos got off to a strong start against the perennial volleyball powerhouse Tuesday night but couldn’t sustain their effort throughout the match.

The Lobos were far from their best against Lourdes Catholic on Tuesday night, but they still managed to prevail in straight sets. Now comes the hard part of the season.

The toughest tests are yet to come, but the Patagonia High volleyball team continues to ace its preliminary exams.
