Boys’ Volleyball: CdM’s Moss named MVP

Corona del Mar High senior outside hitter Ryan Moss was named the Pacific Coast League MVP for leading the boys’ volleyball team to its 13th straight league title, a CIF Southern Section Division 1 runner-up finish, as well as back-to-back CIF State Southern California Regional Division II crowns.

Moss, a future USC player, is on the first team with four Sea Kings, junior setter Matt Ctvrtlik, senior opposite Kevin Fults, junior middle blocker Will Hunter and senior middle blocker Augie Miller. The quintet helped CdM (31-7, 10-0 in league) finish perfect in league for the 10th year in a row under Coach Steve Conti.

Conti guided CdM to its 10th section finals appearance in 20 years as coach. Top-seeded Huntington Beach beat No. 3 CdM in five sets in the finale.

In the SoCal Regional finals, the Sea Kings rallied in five sets to top Oak Park, claiming their third regional championship in five years.

Moss finished with 291 kills, 107 digs, 55 total blocks and 41 service aces. Moss, who’s 6-foot-7, is a two-time first-team selection.

Ctvrtlik totaled 868 assists, 85 digs, 44 aces, 42 total blocks and 41 kills. Ctvrtlik made the first team for the second straight season.

Fults, who’s bound for UC Santa Barbara, had 172 kills, 87 digs, 52 total blocks and five aces.

Hunter contributed 224 kills and 131 total blocks.

Miller, a Pepperdine signee, had 230 kills and 68 blocks.

Corona del Mar junior outside hitter Sam Kobrine and senior libero Hagen Truninger are second-team picks.
