No. 14 St. Augustine clinched the 2A South Region title thanks to a 3-0 win at No. 21 Desert Christian Thursday night. The region championship is the second in a row for the Wolves and it extended their win streak to 26 matches in region play dating back to Oct. 17, 2016.

As with any power, St. Augustine (22-4 overall, 12-0 in region) thrives on excellent coaching and a nucleus of players who have bonded together towards a singular goal.

“Most of our starters are back from last year and that experience has carried us to another successful year,” head coach Adilene Encinas said. “Serving has been one of our strengths this year and passing has also been key.”
