Catalina-King City volleyball

Dating back seven years, these two Mission Trail Athletic League powers are dead even at seven wins apiece heading into tonight's league opener in King City.
 Yet, the Mustangs only have two league titles to show for it while Santa Catalina has four, sharing two of them with King City.
 The Cougars are on a youth movement this fall with a handful of freshmen seeing time on the court, including hitter McKinley Fox, whose sister Taylor was a four-year standout at Catalina.
 The Mustangs have showcased a balanced attack at the net as setter Maria Deniz has spread the ball around to Marlene Morales, Savanna Martinez and Alyssa Carroll.
 Defense dictates the offense and both teams have dynamic defensive specialists in Santa Catalina's Tatumn Satow and the Mustangs Brianna Ortiz.
 Santa Catalina is just 2-5 in its last seven trips to King City.
