After dropping the first set, Chatsworth High School rallied to claim their 12th City Section volleyball title in a thrilling four-set victory over rival Granada Hills. The Chancellors and Highlanders both advance to next week's state tournament.
When Chatsworth High School lost the first set of Saturday night's championship match, their coach knew exactly what to do.

The victory marks Chatsworth's 12th City Section title, cementing their legacy as one of Los Angeles's premier volleyball programs.
Noa Beauregard led the championship charge with 14 kills, while teammate Grant Chang added 13 more. The Chancellors found their rhythm after the opening set loss, steadily pulling away from the Highlanders in the final three sets.
