Yesterday, the Normans defeated Centennial in four sets. Earlier in the week, they took a set off of Culver City but ultimately lost to the Centaurs in four sets.

Santa Monica comes into tonight’s game as the favored team. Last night, they defeated Culver City in three sets. Jaffa, the setter, is doing a great job of moving the ball around to the Outside Hitters and the Middle Blockers. Badr, an Outside Hitter, is hitting hard and showing a surprising amount of prowess and skill. He is seeing the court and developed his spatial awareness.

Coach Barraza was a little concerned about last night’s game against Culver City. If the Vikings were defeated, their chances of reaching the CIF would have been jeopardized. But, the Vikings played like a well-oiled rowing machine and enabled their Coach to walk away with a big smile.

“I was a little worried,” Coach Barraza said. “But, the guys are all playing well and I expect good things to continue happening.”

Tonight, we can expect to hear some music during the time-outs and between the sets. The Santa Monica High School Pep Band has agreed to play for the audience.

The Vikings pushed past the Monarchs through the first set with ease. Their presence in the middle was unmatched, earning overpass kills and blocks. They were able to pick apart Morningside’s serve receive, winning the first set 25-12.

The momentum on the Vikings’ side carried into the second, where they continued to stay strong. The Monarchs struggled to send the ball back over the net, allowing the Viking offense to heat up. Hughes scored yet another early kill and middle blocker Alex Beekman scored off of a tempo set. 

The Monarchs were able to force some miscommunication between the Viking passers, allowing them to score aces. The Vikings bounced back with an ace, winning a joust at the net followed by back to back kills. A missed serve by the Monarchs at set point allowed the Vikings to jump ahead by two sets. 

The Monarchs picked up their play in the third set, forcing the Vikings to make unforced errors early. The Vikings struggled to send balls over as a result of long rallies with strong defense from both sides. As Santa Monica fought to catch up, the Monarch offense continued to heat up with players earning kills.

SANTA MONICA (March 9, 2025) – The Morningside Monarchs, based in Inglewood, California, will drive north on the 405, then head west on the 10 Freeway, on Tuesday to play against the Santa Monica Vikings.

According to Max Preps, if you can believe the AI generated and scraped info, the Monarchs come into Tuesday’s game with only two pre-league warm-ups. Last month, Morningside beat both Jefferson and Animo Leadership in three sets.

But the Monarchs will have their work cut out for them when they face the Vikings.

Despite a loss on Thursday to the El Segundo Eagles, the Santa Monica Vikings have been playing well.

Jaffa, the Setter, has been connecting will with his Middles: Beekman and Heller. His sets have been speeding up and the timing with the blocker is getting a lot better. Both Beekman and Heller are over 6’2″ and can easily get above the net in order to make powerful kills.

Kapen, the team’s Libero, has tapped into his position and is passing the ball well to his Setter and the Outside Hitters. He is playing great defense and we expect him to handle anything the Monarchs send his way.

The Outside Hitters are serving, defending, passing, and making the kills for the important points. In Thursday’s game, Hughes has an estimated 17 kills against El Segundo while Saunders had 12 beautiful kills that really helped the team.

Badr had several impressive blocks against each of the Pilkvist twins that made the crowd “aah” and “ooh” in awe of his defensive prowess.

Tang – who has the most positive attitude and who rotates in as Outside Hitter to serve, aced several important serves. He also picked up several balls that kept the game alive.

The two teams are part of the same school district, SMMUSD, but they have separate teams.

The Sharks come into this game after losing to Royal on Friday in three sets. On Thursday, the Sharks chummed the water and devoured the Ventura Country team, Fillmore High School, in three sets.  The game against Santa Monica isn’t officially part of League Play, but the Sharks are looking to make a good showing against the Vikings.

Santa Monica comes into the game after a multi-game winning streak that was abruptly cut short after losing to El Segundo on Thursday in four sets.

Santa Monica has back to back games home this week on both Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday, the Vikings will play against Morningside, a local team from Inglewood.

Monday’s game is scheduled to start at 3:30 pm PST. You can watch the live stream here on 3rstreet.tv by starting the player below.

The Eagles played a physical game against the Vikings. Led by their Outside Hitters, the Eagles were able to get above the net and the blocking hands of the SAMO players.

Although the Vikings were at one point ahead of the Eagles by six points, there were unable to keep the lead and send the play into the fifth set.

“We played a lot of good teams recently and I’m happy with the results,” said Coach Pete Barraza. “I’m looking forward to our league play and believe the boys will do well.”

On Monday, Santa Monica plays the Malibu team in Santa Monica. The game starts at 3:30 pm PST and will be live streamed on www.3rdstreet.tv.

El Segundo will begin their league play next week. This year, El Segundo will play in the Bay League where they will play against Mira Costa, Redondo Union, South Torrance, and Peninsula.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE

SANTA MONICA (March 3, 2025) – “The game never stops.” “The only important point is the one that you are playing for now.” “Don’t lose your cool – stay calm and focus.” “It’s only a game.”

These are some of the thoughts that might go through the minds of young volleyball players as they face one another from across the net.

It’s easy to write this but it is different when the serve coming at you is speeding through the air at 45 mph.

During the quick sets, the players are usually jocular. They stay loose. There are hands slaps and good natured joking. They are all friends and during Club Season, there is a lot of mixing and matching and crossover.

On Thursday, the El Segundo Eagles travel to Bay City where they will play against the SAMO High Vikings. The Eagles, led by the always smiling wonder twins, have been recently flying high. Last week they defeated Torrance in three quick sets. Before that, the Eagles soared past Wiseburn – Da Vinci in three consecutive sets at Wiseburn.

The Santa Monica Vikings have been doing a little pillaging of their own. Last week they had three games. The Vikings vanquished Palos Verdes at the end of the week. In the middle of the week they travelled to Brentwood. The game went to four sets but Santa Monica ultimately won. In the beginning of the week, the Vikings sailed over to Torrance where they conquered the Tartars in four sets.

Santa Monica Head Coach, Pete Barraza, was happy with the team’s performance last week. “There are a few things we can work on but we are getting better every game,” he said. “The team played hard last week and I’m glad we can take a little rest before the El Segundo game.”

Last week, middle blocker, Breyon, had several impressive blocks that helped the Vikings defeat Palos Verdes. This players has a few more years of high school to develop as a player. We are expecting good things from him.

Alec Green, the voice of So Cal Volleyball will once again announce the play-by-play for the Thursday match-up between El Segundo and Santa Monica. You can watch the live stream here on 3rdstree.tv.
