The last time the Palisades High girls volleyball team won a City Section crown was 2020. For most schools, four years is no big deal but at Palisades that is an eternity.
The Dolphins have 30 City crowns to their credit since 1973, by far the most of any program, and they hope to add to that total with a roster that returns 11 players from last year’s squad, which lost to El Camino Real in the Open Diviion semifinals. Co-captains are senior middle blocker/outside hitter Hazel Irving and junior libero/outside hitter Lucy Neilson. Bolstering the lineup are hitters Ashlynn Sells, Tulah Block, Gaby Bartle, Paige Monaco, Isabella Drake, Adalee Foster and Bianca Dolotta; middles Annie Refnes, Gabby Flynn and Margot Madeira; liberos Sophia Winston and Ava Dyer; and setters Christie Turner and Lila Barajas.
Palisades swept Eagle Rock in its season opener Aug.16. On Sept. 6-7 the Dolphins play in the Chatsworth Invitational. The following weekend they head to the Falcon Classic at Crescenta Valley and Sept. 27-28 they play in the Venice Invitational.
