It has been four years of building a program and now the Northwest Christian boys volleyball team has a chance at a state championship title.
Head coach Tate Abbott reminisced back to four years ago when he began coaching the now seniors as freshman. Ten players showed up for tryouts and from that day forward, the team has worked, adapted and persevered.
After a 3-1 semi-final win over Tucson Salpointe Catholic May 13, undefeated and #2 Northwest Christian (20-0) has a one-day transition before facing #1 American Leadership Academy-Queen Creek (20-1) at 11 a.m., Saturday at Skyline High School, 845 S, Crismon Road in Mesa.
