Spring Sports : Chatsworth Rolls Over Birmingham

Share

The problem these days for the Chatsworth High volleyball team isn’t beating West Valley League opponents. It’s getting up for them.

“When you play somebody you’ve already beaten, it’s hard to get psyched,” Coach Steve Berk said.

Chatsworth (11-2, 8-0 in league matches) was psyched enough Wednesday at Birmingham, stomping the Braves, 15-5, 15-4, 15-6. Erik Merkle and Mike Rosenthal each had 10 kills for Chatsworth.
