JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Ponte Vedra volleyball team is headed back to familiar territory.
The Sharks cruised past Viera 3-0 in the Class 6A state semifinals on Saturday afternoon and rolled into next week’s championship match. Ponte Vedra (29-1) had no trouble with the Hawks, winning 25-16, 25-17, 25-16, their 14th consecutive win. It was also the Sharks’ 14th straight playoff win dating back to the 2019 postseason.
