Very much in the hunt for the South Suburban volleyball title, the Richards Bulldogs are well aware of the conference drought the program has been through. How long has it been? No one on the team was alive the previous time the Bulldogs won conference, the 1992 squad that also won the state title.

Winning the program’s first boys volleyball conference championship a year ago (sharing the title with Reavis), Oak Forest’s Cody Owens and his teammates set their goals on repeating this season, adding a little more hardware to the trophy case.

With 16 kills already to his name in Tuesday's South Suburban Red match, Oak Lawn's Pat McGuinness had the Reavis defense exactly where he wanted. So after wave after wave of powerful kills, the senior outside hitter switched things up with a hit that floated over the net and found a hole in the Reavis defense for the game-winner in a 25-19, … ]]> Mon, 25 Apr 2011 06:26:01 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/reavis/boys_volleyball/5010022-393/mcguinness-oak-lawn-finish-off-reavis.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/reavis/boys_volleyball/5010022-393/mcguinness-oak-lawn-finish-off-reavis.html
With just one returning starter from last year's conference co-champion, Reavis' boys volleyball team has had its ups and downs in 2011.

Playing Oak Forest Tuesday in its season opener, Reavis got an eye-opener. The matchup of last season's South Suburban co-champions was a one-sided one, Oak Forest rolling in two quick games. With a quick turnaround, the Rams regrouped Wednesday at Eisenhower, winning 25-10, 25-14 in a South Suburban Red showdown.
