As the excitement builds for the upcoming volleyball season, the La Serna High School team is gearing up for their biggest goals yet. With their eyes set on winning a league title and CIF championship, the team is determined to work hard and maintain a winning mindset. Leading the team are a group of top returning players from last season, who bring a unique set of skills to the court. Captain Michael Lopez, a powerful 6 rotation outside hitter, brings explosive energy to the offense. Aidan Leonardo, also a senior outside hitter, is a natural athlete and a valuable asset to the team.
