The Cerritos College Falcons volleyball team finished the season on a high note, winning two of its last three games, including a 3-0 win against East Los Angeles College on Nov. 7.
That win hopefully marks the team’s final game to be played at Gahr High School.
“No Sophomore leaving this year has ever played a game in the Falcon Gymnasium,” head coach Teresa Velasquez said.
The gym on the Cerritos College campus has been unavailable for over three years.
Practices were held at the former Excelsior High School gym and it’s home contests were played at Gahr High School in Cerritos.
Two bright spots for the players was the naming of outside hitter Latia Peters and libero Ashley Castro to the all-South Coast Conference team.
Peters was selected to represent the Falcons on the first team, while Castro was a second team selection.
At the conclusion of the season, Peters said she planned to, “Rest and study hard.”
Coach Velasquez said that Peters improved steadily from the beginning of the season.
Her hitting prowess could be witnessed if you were in attendance at any of the Falcons’ games.
Castro contributed to the defensive play of the Falcons in the back row with 194 digs and assisting on 16 other plays, while contributing 27 service aces offensively.
