Volleyball Game Preview: Desert View Jaguars vs. Palo Verde Titans

The Desert View Jaguars are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game this season: they will face off against the Palo Verde Titans at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Considering both teams were shutout in their prior games, the pair is probably coming into this one with something to prove.

Desert View is headed into Wednesday's match looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their fifth straight game dating back to last season on Tuesday. They lost 3-0 to Catalina Foothills.

While Desert View was kept off the board, it wasn't for a lack of trying: they cut into Catalina Foothills' winning margin in every set. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 25-6, 25-17, 25-23.

Meanwhile, Palo Verde unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They came up short against Pueblo on Thursday, falling 3-0. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it seven in a row.

Desert View came up short against Palo Verde in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, falling 3-1. Can Desert View avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
