The Hampton Bays High School boys varsity volleyball team made history recently by earning their first-ever varsity win with a decisive 3-0 sweep against Huntington. The Baymen took the match with set scores of 25-22, 25-13, and 25-19. Building on that momentum, the team went on to capture a second victory with another sweep, defeating Central Islip 25-21, 25-16, and 25-13.
The wins come on the heels of a hard-fought match against Bayport-Blue Point, during which the team picked up their first set victory before falling 1-3.
The boys volleyball program launched last year as a junior varsity squad, finishing with an impressive 11-3 record. This year marks the program’s debut at the varsity level.
The Baymen began the preseason with just six eligible players, forcing athletes to take on new roles and positions they had never played before. As the roster grew, so did their versatility. In less than three weeks, the team worked through different setter rotations and adapted.
Now, with each player in a role that maximizes individual strengths, coach Kristy Stevens and Coach Lyndsey Moran say the team can put more time into skill development. “They show up to practice every day wanting to practice and get better,” Stevens said. “I can't wait to see how this team plays and progresses throughout the season.”
The win against Huntington showcased a balanced team effort and standout individual performances by Angel Munoz (19 digs), Peyton Single (25 digs), Christian Rodriguez (15 assists), Leo Spellman (16 assists), Charlie Patek (12 kills) and Andrei Quiros (10 kills).
The Hampton Bays School District congratulates the team on their historic first win — a promising sign of great things to come.
