Many times assists tell the story in volleyball as this position (setter) is the engine which make the team thrive or fail. Both teams setters are seniors playing at the height of their high school careers and they both have multiple players to set. The difference in today's contest will be the Bruin's senior outside hitters. They are long and athletic and have been here before, where Placer's scoring leaders have not. I give the Bruins a slight edge with the contest going the distance.

Frosh game at 4 p.m. at Placer High School in Auburn with the JV and Varsity games to follow.
