The CIF-SS boys volleyball championships begin this week.
Here’s how you can help: After each match, we need for a coach to report the scores to us at 714-796-7804 or dcalhoun@ocregister.com. Please include the records for both teams, the scores for each set and a couple of stat leaders (kills, assists, blocks).
This will help me update the brackets after each round and also assist in my playoff roundups.

O’Dell was previously the assistant women’s coach at UCLA (2010-2013). He is currently the head coach of the Mizuno Long Beach Volleyball Club.

Santa Margarita pulled off the 9-2 upset victory over second-ranked Orange Lutheran Wednesday night. The Eagles scored four runs in the third and four in the seventh on their way to the victory. The teams meet again Friday afternoon.
Cory Mendoza and Josh Meyer both had three RBI and three hits for the Eagles. Dillon Miyashiro went seven innings allowing one earned run, seven hits, walking one and striking out three.
Last week, the Eagles suffered a pair of one-run losses to top-ranked Mater Dei.
The match of year is here … again.
Dana Hills, ranked third in the county, will host top-ranked San Clemente with the outright South Coast League title on the line tonight at Dana Hills.
In the first match, the Tritons edged the Dolphins in five sets, April 2. What does Dana Hills coach Oz Simmons expect this around?
The fourth-ranked Aztecs (21-4, 11-0) clinched their third consecutive Century League title with Wednesday’s 23-25, 26-24, 25-21, 25-13 victory over Foothill.
Jake Arnitz led Esperanza with 33 kills and five blocks. Ben Oxnard had 11 kills and 13 digs. Ryan Heller had 59 assists and three blocks. The Aztecs are the top-ranked team in Division 2.
Hannah Gleason (Tesoro HS) signed with Utah State and will enroll in the fall. Gleason earned first team all-county honors last season for the Titans.
Utah St. coach Grayson DuBose said: “Hannah brings a lot of high level playing to our gym,” DuBose said. “She has been trained by some great coaches, and you can tell she has absorbed this training when you watch her play, as she “sees” the game really well. She also has a high level of character which we always look for in players.”
Erica Moscoso (Capistrano Valley) signed with Utah State in the fall.
Esperanza and Corona del Mar have advanced to the semifinals of the Karch Kiraly Tournament of Champions at Santa Barbara high.
The Aztecs will face Bellarmine Prep today and Corona del Mar will face Mira Costa.
