In a milestone-making moment, the victory marks the school’s first ever state playoff win in any sport.
The Archer School for Girls in Brentwood moved onto to the second round of the CIF Division IV State Volleyball Playoffs with a resounding 3-0 win (25-16, 25-10, 25-16) over Chatsworth Charter High School on Nov. 15 at Park Century School gym in Culver City.
Playing with four sophomores in the lineup and receiving stellar defensive play from seniors Cydney Davis and Macoy Ohlbaum, the girls fed off the energy of the Archer fans to notch the first ever state playoff win in any sport at the school.
Archer, now 24-7 and the #2 seeded team in the South Region, is one of 16 schools that remain in the Division IV State playoffs.
