La Puente waited a year for redemption. Instead, it was just another heartache for the Warriors.
Hope Searcy had 15 kills and Kaylene Burkhart had 13, and California City ousted Montview League champion La Puente with a 25-20, 17-25, 25-15, 29-27 victory over the Warriors in a CIF-Southern Section Division 4A first- round match Tuesday.
The visiting Ravens, who had to withstand an 8-0 blitz by La Puente in the fourth game, improved to 15-11 and will face either Santa Clara or Milken Community in the second round Thursday.
The Warriors, getting 14 kills from Elisa Valenzuela and 11 from Rocio Armendariz, finished 17-7. They lost in the second round for the second consecutive season.
“It’s very disappointing for our seniors,” said La Puente coach Daniel Krawiec, whose Warriors were ranked No. 6 in the final Division 4A poll.
“We were looking to go pretty far this year, but like I talked to them before, ‘It’s mental. Can you hang in there?’ ”
