Suffern boys have season end in regionals

November

I recently talked with Suffern boys volleyball coach Kim Cleary, who was on the bus with the team as they headed back from Syracuse (I hope they weren’t on a regular school bus).

Anyway, Suffern was eliminated in pool play at regionals at Cicero-North High School after compiling a 1-7 record against the winners of Sections 2, 3, 5, and 6. The Mounties finished fourth place overall.

Sophomore Oliver Svoboda led the way again with 30 kills and 15 blocks. Something tells me, we’re going to hear a lot more about this guy in the coming years, especially as boys volleyball gets bigger and bigger in the area.

Cleary was very pleased with how her team fared against much more established teams (this was Suffern’s first year) that have kids that play year around. The Mounties even played Section 6’s Orchard Park, the eventual winner, very close before losing 25-20.

All in all, it was a great first season for this team which finished undefeated (11-0) in sectional play and matched the girls team’s section 1 title.

Okay, off to watch a little football. I’ll be seeing plenty more volleyball tomorrow at SUNY New Paltz. Once again, here’s the schedule for Section 1 teams:

9 a.m.: Hen Hud vs. Red Hook (Class B)

1 p.m.: Westlake vs. Millbrook (Class C)

3 p.m.: Fox Lane vs. Cornwall (Class A)

So hop in the car and come see some good volleyball. Back with more tomorrow.
