Last season couldn't have gone much worse for Arbor View's boys volleyball team, which won one match.
But the Aggies have been surprisingly strong this season.

Arbor View went 7-1 last weekend to win the St. Patrick's Day Tournament at Chaparral High School.
The Aggies beat Basic 25-13, 25-22 in the title match.
"It's just unbelievable," Arbor View coach Roger Brown said. "They're starting to get it. Before they were scared of getting hit with the ball and the speed was too much. But now they're humming. They believe they can do something now. Before, they were just happy to have a uniform."
