Huntington Beach Oilers outlasted Loyola 26-28, 25-23, 19-25, 25-22, 15-10 to win the Division I final at Santiago Canyon College. TJ Defalco a sophomore had 26 spike attack. Andrew TenBrink had 10 kills, Zach Gates chipped in nine kills and four blocks, Brendan Sander also had nine kills, while Matt Butler had 51 assists for the Oilers. Oilers also defeated the defending champion Mira Costa in the semifinals.

Jackson Bantle and Garrett Mohr had 15 kills apiece for the second-seeded Loyola Cubs, who were denied their 12th CIF title by the slimmest of margins.

"That's the best serving team we've played all year and they took us out of what we wanted to do," Huntington Beach Oilers Coach Craig Pazanti said. "We weren't playing our best in the first three sets but fortunately we were able to block some balls and getting up early in the fifth was critical."

In Division II, junior Jacob Arnitz had 44 kills to power top-seeded Esperanza past third-seeded Santa Barbara, 21-25, 25-20, 25-23, 25-17.

In Division III, Robert Adamson had 14 kills and Richard Yu added 11 kills as second-seeded South Pasadena upset top-seeded Camarillo, 27-25, 25-13, 26-24. Owen Yoshimoto finished with 19 kills and eight digs for Camarillo.

In Division IV, top-seeded Cathedral defeated Del Rey League rival Bishop Montgomery, 29-27, 25-16, 18-25, 25-22.

In Division V, top-seeded Saddleback Valley Christian rallied past Westminster La Quinta, 18-25, 25-12, 16-25, 25-18, 15-7 to win its first CIF title.
