Friday.

Coach Dan Glenn’s Tars handled host Scripps Ranch in the first of

three pool games, 15-5, 15-9, with Erik Peterson pacing the attack with

10 kills.

15-8 as Blake Tippett and Greg Perrine led the way with 11 and 8 kills,

respectively.

Bullard High’s Knights, seeded No. 4, were the next to feel the pain
