Mars boys volleyball’s historic run continues with PIAA Class 2A quarterfinal win vs West Shamokin

MONROEVILLE — Mars boys volleyball faced a nearly identical situation two years in a row.

Both times it was up 2-0 in a state playoff game against West Shamokin. One more set win would send the Fightin’ Planets to a round it had never been before.

A year ago in that spot, Mars folded. West Shamokin won the next three sets to advance to the second round.

Kyler Robinson, Ryan Ceh, Kaden Gratton and the rest of the senior-laden Mars team made sure that didn’t happen a second year in a row. The Planets controlled the third set from start to finish and completed the 3-0 sweep (25-23, 28-26, 25-19) Saturday in the PIAA Class 2A quarterfinals at Gateway High School.
