Tuesday’s Trans-Valley League volleyball showdown between Hilmar and Ripon High was the unofficial title matchup between the top two volleyball programs in league. Hilmar was coming in with just one loss in eight games prior to Tuesday’s game and Ripon with a perfect 8-0 record, having already topped Hilmar in their first meeting of the year in a 3-0 sweep. Second time wasn’t the charm for the Yellowjackets, who fought hard but ultimately fell to Ripon for the second time this season, 3-1.
