MERRICK, NY — The Calhoun High School boys volleyball team spiked the competition in capturing its first Nassau County championship. Calhoun swept Bethpage High School in the three-game final Tuesday. The matches were held at the Brookside School as the Colts earned the victory with scores, 25-14, 25-20 and the clinching 25-16. "The kids worked extra hard this year and gave it their all. They worked well as a team and were determined to bring home a county championship," coach Ryan Pastuch said in a statement provided by the school. "We did have a few players that had to quarantine during the season, but we overcame the challenge and other players really stepped up to help us succeed." One of those players who stepped up was senior Owen Rose, scheduled to continue his volleyball exploits at Penn State in the fall, who led Calhoun with 27 kills. Pat Sanchez had 31 assists and 12 kills while Matt Kalfas made 10 kills. Rob Baguio added 10 digs, while Chris Zaveckas posted five blocks.
