A determined Boron Bobcats volleyball team came to Lone Pine Thursday afternoon, out for Eagle blood. It didnât happen.
The Eagles and Bobcats traded games through nearly two hours of gruelling play, but Lone Pine polished off the tie-breaker, 15-13 and remains undefeated in the top spot in Desert Mountain League play.
âWe usually go five games against Boron,â said coach Mel Joseph. âThey have a good program and great defensive instincts.
âBoron was scrappy and did not let too many balls hit the floor. They were aggressive from the service line.â
