Volleyball: Sobrato sweeps Live Oak

The volleyball version of the El Toro Bowl featured a pair of teams searching for consistency inside the Blossom Valley Athletic League. And it came as no surprise that each set came down to the final points.
This time around, it was Sobrato High seizing the momentum and the rivalry victory, sweeping Live Oak 25-22, 25-22, 25-22 on Thursday night in Morgan Hill.
Mistakes cost the Acorns, said head coach James Uthes, as Live Oak made seven errors while serving.
“We made a lot of errors we usually don’t make,” Uthes said. “I think the girls were just a little nervous. We wanted to win it so bad.”
In the loss, Savanna Hartman finished with a team-high 11 kills and Fa Saulala finished with seven kills.
Both teams sit at 3-3 in league play, and will face each other one more time. But before that, otehr league encounters await. Live Oak hosts Westmont on Tuesday while Sobrato is at Evergreen Valley.
NOTE: On Saturday, both local teams participated in Dig Pink fundrasier events. The Acorns hosted Monte Vista Christian. Sobrato entered a four-team tournament hosted by Christopher High in Gilroy.
