In three of the past six seasons the Tartans have advanced to a CIF-SS final, and twice they emerged as a CIF-SS champion \u2014 in 2022 and \u201824.<\/p>\n

St. Margaret\u2019s, a private school in San Juan Capistrano, is not a big school. The school\u2019s enrollment is 466.<\/p>\n

The Tartans will compete against a larger school from the prestigious Trinity League when they take on Orange Lutheran in the CIF-SS Division 2 semifinals Saturday at 5 p.m. at Orange Lutheran.<\/p>\n

What is going on so that year after year St. Margaret\u2019s puts an elite boys volleyball team on the court?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been blessed with really good talent,\u201d said Tartans coach Bob Yoder.<\/p>\n

Yoder is a large reason for the talent at St. Margaret\u2019s. He was an All-American player at USC and later coached the Trojans to an NCAA championship and to three runner-up finishes. Yoder has also coached at Concordia University.<\/p>\n

The Tartans lost four starters from last season\u2019s team that lost to Peninsula in the Division 2 semifinals. They have only eight players on the roster this season. Two of those players are standout middle blockers, 6-foot-7 Miles Eaton and 6-5 Beckett Harvey.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re two of the best middles in our league and, generally, in the county,\u201d said Yoder, who began coaching boys and girls volleyball at St. Margaret\u2019s in the 2021-22 school year. \u201cWe\u2019ve built the whole team on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

St. Margaret\u2019s does not put a libero on the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the boys have had to learn to play defense,\u201d Yoder said.<\/p>\n

Plus, Yoder said, \u201cwe run a weird offense\u201d and \u201cwe just throw the ball high up in the middle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

St. Margaret\u2019s won the Pacific Coast League with a 12-2 record. It\u2019s a good volleyball league.<\/p>\n

In the 16-team Division 2 bracket the Tartans beat Cypress in five sets in the first round and swept San Clemente in the quarterfinals Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Yoder praised St. Margaret\u2019s players for being well-rounded and for meeting every challenge this season. He hopes the Tartans continues to be fundamentally sound Saturday against Orange Lutheran.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt always boils down to being able to serve and pass,\u201d Yoder said.<\/p>\n
