(Photo by Bill Deren) Bombers down Golden Eagles; up for another title By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The last time Westfield senior student-athlete Javier Santos saw the Central Golden Eagles, they were celebrating a trip to the Western Massachusetts boys basketball champi- onship after handily beating the Bombers in the semifinals. This time was a bit more joyous as Santos and the Bombers smacked down Central, turning back the Golden Eagles, 25-12, 25-20, 25-11, in a Division 1 boys volleyball semifinal Wednesday night in the Whip City. Santos came out with a purpose, landing nearly a half-dozen kills in the first set. He finished with 10. “I think the thing that sets us apart from other teams is that we compete at a high level every day in practice and that makes a difference on the court in games,” Santos said. Unlike basketball though where the defense may clear out and let the other team’s ball-han- dler go one-on-one against a defender, the out- come in volleyball often weighs more heavily on the rest of the team. And while Santos may be able to outmuscle and outjump a defender to make a basket, it is much more crucial that his teammates elevate their game around him in vol- leyball to have similar success. “Volleyball is way different from basketball,” Santos said. “(It’s the) greatest team sport.” His teammates rose to the challenge against Central on Wednesday, countering every attempt- ed rally and deflating their hopes with a suffocat- ing attack. Santos delivered several kills in the opening set. In that set, four other Westfield players (Luis Westfield’s Gabe Santos blasts the ball down.

Westfield put together the match’s largest run (6-0) – for either championship. “They’ve seen what the expectations are now and in Central briefly flirted with a one-point lead team – early in the third set as Prem Gurung served the Bombers to the past,” he said. “So many players have stepped up to fuel this early on in the middle frame and even led by two, a 7-1 lead. run.” 7-5, following a fantastic block from Central’s A short time later, both teams combined for the longest rally (a An astonishing eight players were selected this season to represent lanky, athletic superstar, Ta’Nye Crichton (22 beauty to behold) that ended with Kiendzior delivering a kill.
