From coach Boone Marker- “The Taft High School volleyball program is off to a dominant start to the 2025 season, with both the junior varsity and varsity squads earning convincing 3-0 sweeps over Toledo and Nestucca on Aug. 28.
The varsity Tigers showcased their depth and experience with two straight-set victories, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting season. With a strong returning core of seasoned players, the team looks poised to be a top contender in the tough 3A PacWest Conference. Their chemistry on the court, combined with solid defensive play and aggressive attacking, overwhelmed their opponents in both matches.
JV also impressed with back-to-back 3-0 wins, demonstrating the strength and depth of the program from top to bottom. Their early-season performance bodes well for the future of Taft volleyball.
With momentum already building, the Tigers are focused on maintaining their intensity as they prepare for a competitive league schedule. If these opening matches are any indication, Taft volleyball is a team to watch this season.”
The Tigers first home game is on Sept. 9 against Dayton. For more information on upcoming games, visit OSAA.org.
