Fifth time was the charm for the Hilmar High varsity volleyball team, which finally captured the program's first Sac-Joaquin Section Division-IV title, after four consecutive losses, in Saturday's finale against Bret Harte that ended in straight sets, 3-0. “It was great…just very fortunate to have these girls and it feels good,” said Hilmar head coach Patti Harris, who had been part of the last four finals losses. “I actually have an entire team that is all about the team and working together and they really did a great job.”
