The Clovis East and Clovis high school boys volleyball teams met four times this season.

Twice in the Tri-River Athletic Conference season.

Then, for the Central Section championship.

And finally, Saturday for the CIF Northern California Division I regional championship.

The result never changed.

Top-seeded Clovis East rolled past No. 3 Clovis 25-19, 26-24, 27-25 to win the regional title.

The Timberwolves beat the Cougars in all four meetings, twice in 3-0 sweeps, once in four sets and once in five.

Clovis East took care of business in the NorCal regionals, sweeping No. 8 Foothill-Pleasanton and No. 5 St. Francis-Mountain View.

Clovis (30-5) reached the regional final with a five-set semifinal victory over No. 2 Valley Christian-San Jose, winning 20-25, 25-21, 22-25, 25-23, 15-12.

The Timberwolves (41-3) finished their remarkable season on a 21-match winning streak since losing to Valley Christian at a tournament. Clovis East’s other two losses were to Newport Harbor-Newport Beach, the SoCal D-I runner-up.

Clovis East’s roster: Jacob Vang, Tristan Yang, Brandon Yang, Jaxon Cooper, Landon Moua, Gurshab Singh, Brady Durham, Malaki Gaffney, Simratveer Sumal, Ronin Yang, Mason Stokes, Prabjot Singh, Akashdeep Singh, Tristan Moua, Jacob Shelton, Gordon Vang, Michael Yang, David Ocegueda.

Sanger holds off Bishop O’Dowd

Sanger won the NorCal Division II regional championship.

The second-seeded Apaches defeated No. 7 Woodcreek-Roseville in four sets, then went five sets against Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep.

That sent Sanger to the final against No. 1 Bishop O’Dowd, and the Apaches came away with a 25-20, 20-25, 25-16, 25-19 win in Oakland for the school’s first regional title.

The Apaches end the season at 41-8.

Sanger’s roster: Logan Taylor, Evan Ly, Cody Vue, Nathan Vang, Keith Moua, Ethan Westbury, Noah Her, David Benningfield, Cody Coles, Ryan Diehl, Seth Dillon, Alijah Bermudez, Trent Navo, Giovanni Valencia, Kaleb Cole, Eduardo Gonzalez, Austin Vang and Isaac Herrera.
