Palo Verde 2013 Boys Volleyball Capsule

Head coach: Phil Clarke, seventh season

2012 record: 15-5 (12-2 Northwest)

Returning lettermen (starters): Six (Three)

Top players: OH Mitchell Tingey (Sr.), S Andrew Weston (Jr.)

Outlook: The Panthers bring back three starters from a team that placed second in the Northwest last season.

"We are an older team this year with not a lot of experience at some positions," Clarke said. "We graduated some key seniors, so people need to step up and fill those spots.

"It is a good group that is ready to work hard."
