After only 12 days, the volleyball regular season has ended, finishing the seasons for all three local high schools.

None of the county schools qualified for the shrunken playoff field this season, which only eight teams in each classification qualified for.

The Belen Eagles had their season cut short due to a positive COVID-19 case within the program and were only able to play two matches, both losses.

On Wednesday, March 17, the Eagles fell to Valley 3-1 (19-25, 25-23, 26-24, 25-21) before losing to Los Lunas in straight sets on Friday, March 19.

Games against Highland, Del Norte and Valencia were canceled.
