Winter Park Boys Volleyball repeats as state champions

The Winter Park High School boys volleyball team has cemented its place as a powerhouse in Florida, winning its second straight state title and third in four seasons. The Wildcats captured the championship by sweeping Miami Southwest in straight sets, closing out a flawless postseason in which they didn’t drop a single set — going 21-0.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Winter Park boys volleyball swept its way to a second straight state championship, going 21-0 in postseason sets.

What we know:

Winter Park High School’s boys volleyball team has clinched its second consecutive state championship—and its third in four seasons—by sweeping Miami-Southwest in three straight sets during Saturday night’s Class 3A title match. The Wildcats went a perfect 21-0 in postseason sets, a dominant finish that cemented their status as a powerhouse program in Florida high school volleyball.

The backstory:

Winter Park’s program has been steadily building a legacy, with this year’s senior class playing a central role in three championship runs. The team’s resilience was tested throughout the season, as they overcame regular-season defeats by facing and defeating many of those same opponents in the postseason. This title was more than just another win—it was a statement of dominance and growth.

What we don’t know:

While the team’s future looks bright, it’s unclear how the graduation of key seniors like setter Jacob Little-Phillips and outside hitter Mason Barberree will affect next season’s lineup. Also unknown is how this continued success may influence regional or statewide recruiting and the program’s long-term sustainability.

What they’re saying:

Winter Park is fast becoming synonymous with high school volleyball success in Florida. The Wildcats’ championship run is not just a win for the school, but a defining moment that could elevate the program’s reputation for years to come. 

“It felt right. It felt like it was supposed to happen. It was a great feeling, going 21-0 in sets during the postseason,” senior setter, Jacob Little-Phillip’s said. “It felt like a movie, like a script. It was awesome.”

The road to the title wasn’t easy. The Wildcats had to beat four of the five teams they lost to in the regular season during their playoff run.

“Getting the payback. Coming back and beating all of them, the resiliency of the boys — to me, this year was overall sweeter,” Winter Park head boy’s volleyball coach Jesse Day said.

For the seniors, this win caps off a high school career filled with trophies and memories.

“It’s definitely something that we’re proud of. We’re hoping that this sets Winter Park as a volleyball school,” senior outside hitter Mason Barberree said

“Shanard Walker has shown the hard work and desire to be on top of the 200m/400m nationally”, he says. ” I’m happy he decided to move up to the 400m after indoor season because it made him a better all around athlete. I expect big things from him at the NCAA Track & Field East Regionals in Jacksonville.

Assistant coach Courtney Walker is very proud of Xavier Bogan in the field. “For Xavier to make it this far as a freshman is truly a testament to the hard work he has put in this year”, she says. “I’m excited and looking forward to see how he finishes the rest of the season.”

Hope College’s Sara Schermerhorn will race in the national final in the women’s outdoor 400-meter run for the second consecutive season.

The junior from Traverse City, Michigan (Traverse City West HS) qualified on Friday by clocking the sixth-fastest time during prelims at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships hosted by the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio, near Cleveland.

Schermerhorn’s 55.06-second effort put her in the nine-runner final on Saturday, May 24, at 2:30 p.m. Watch the race live on ncaa.com.

Macalester University (Minnesota) freshman Ariella Rogahn-Press topped the field with a prelim run of 53.88 seconds, one of two sub-54-second times. Emory University (Georgia) senior Eva Carchidi went 53.97.

Schermerhorn seeks her second career All-America distinction in the event and her fourth All-America accolade of the season. 

The exercise science major finished fifth in the nation in the 400 as a sophomore and earned All-America First Team honors.

On Thursday, Schermerhorn claimed All-America Second Team accolades in the 200-meter run after placing 11th during qualifying.

In March, Schermerhorn placed seventh in the nation in the 400 meters and ninth in the 200 meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
