It seems every coach that wins a CIF Southern Section title laments the difficulty in getting a team back up again to start the state playoffs.

Alta Loma volleyball coach Tishanna Pope now faces that challenge after her team cruised to a Division 4AA title.

The Braves (33-2) have won 22 straight matches, the most recent being a 3-0 sweep of La Reina on Friday in the title tilt.

The Braves are the top seed for the Division 4 Southern California Region portion of the state playoffs which start Tuesday. Alta Loma will host Kingsburg at 7 p.m. in their state playoff opener. Since they’re the No. 1 seed they’ll play at home until they’re eliminated or get to the state title match which is on a neutral court.

“They just want to keep playing,” Pope said. “They like each other so much and just don’t want the season to end. They’re like, ‘Why not keep playing,?’
