    How Los Alamitos boys volleyball’s seniors have Griffins off to strong start
    It’s been a frenetic first few weeks of the season for the Los Alamitos boys volleyball team.

But rather than let it drag the team down, Los Al is off to a 14-5 start. The Griffins won the RedonDo Tournament and are the No. 7 team in the latest Division 1 and 2 poll.
