Two teams still searching for cohesiveness on the court get charged up tonight with an adrenaline boast when the Spartans host rival Monterey in both teams' league opener.
Having gathered a share of the Mission Division title last fall, Seaside doesn't have an identity right now after losing reigning league MVP Jocelyn Hernandez to a knee injury.
Without arguably the best hitter in the league, setter Ashley Hernandez has turned to transfer Paulina Sanchez, who has compiled 37 kills in four non-league matches.
Hernandez has recorded 58 assists and 15 service aces for Seaside (1-3), who has won back-to-back league titles.
Expectations are high for the Toreadores, who reached the postseason last year after going 7-5 in the Mission Division.
Setter Elle Mitchell and her 300 plus assists from last year are back for Monterey, along with hitters Ana Adams and Timbre Dawson. Zain Abu-Kishk has been disruptive in the front row.
Seaside has won the last four meetings between the teams.
John Devine has been writing about high school sports in Monterey County since, well, practically since he was an athlete at King City in the days just after leather helmets. In PrepNation, John has even more in-depth analysis of the latest results and news he's brought to you in The Herald and in his weekly videos.
