Lafayette’s boys volleyball has played well and are using all of their strengths to procede through to State. The Lancers have defeated numerous teams since entering the post-season. Last night, May 14, Lafayette defeated Oakville 2-0 at Eureka. They’ve combined for a 30-6 and will try their luck against Mehlville, who have had an equally strong season.

Seniors Alex Moll and Mike Chard have had successful seasons. Chard has led the way serving-wise and Moll has 16 aces this season. Success up to this point wouldn’t have been possible without these contributions. Not only has Chard carried the weight serving-wise (serving nearly 95%), but the fact that he has 400 attacks to go with it is stunning.

Of course it’s a team effort and without the role players, the team wouldn’t have garnered any success. Junior John Morrell will be one of the Lancers top players next season, as he has already stood out due to his defensive ability. 

Ryan Mueller has done well off the bench in his final season at Lafayette.

Fellow senior Jake Steinberg has competed solid also. His 6’6 frame helps him cover ground and easily play middle blocker.

Let’s hope Lafayette’s season isn’t derailed by Mehlville tommorow and they can proceed on to win State.
