It’s been bright season for the SIFA Manta Rays girls volleyball team.
After an incredible turnaround that saw them go from last place to the championship game of the 2023 IIAAG Girls Volleyball League, they now can add that they have the league MVP on their squad as 8th grader Cyan Sablan was named the Most Valuable Player.
“Cyan was the anchor on a team that had an incredible run. Combined with co-captain and fellow all-star Eden Caballero, the duo helped lead a team of blue-collar workers that just showed up and got the job done when they needed it,” SIFA head coach Al Garrido said.
Here is the rest of the All-Island team selection.

Ashley Samaniego and the UCLA Bruins made it to the NCAA Women’s Final Four, before losing to eventual champions UConn.
The 2007 Simon Sanchez graduate is in his first year with the Bruins women’s basketball team as the Director of Athletic Performance. This after years at California State University, Northridge in the same capacity.
Coach Ash must be bringing some goodness to the Bruins as UCLA is currently ranked #1 in the country and earned its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history.
