Rancho opens volleyball season with win over Western — PHOTOS
Rancho opened its girls volleyball season with a 25-1, 25-9, 25-6 home win over Western on Thursday night.
The Rams are one of the favorites to win the state championship in the new Class 4A. They reached the state tournament two years ago and return the duo of Jan Duhaylungsod and right-side hitter Leah Miller, both of whom were named to the Review-Journal’s All-Southern Nevada team.
Rancho’s next match will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, when it hosts 2019 state runner-up Durango.
