Heritage Christian Academy earned its first Class 3A high school volleyball title on Saturday in Hutchinson, but not the first championship in school history.

This is actually the fourth overall volleyball title for the Olathe school.

They’ve been here before ... and they sure played like it this week in Hutch.

The Chargers’ fourth championship was no less exciting than the previous three. Heritage Christian beat Cheney 25-22, 25-22 at the Hutchinson Sports Arena after stopping Beloit 25-23, 25-20 in the semifinals.

The Chargers didn’t lose a match in pool play on Friday, either, beating Goodland, Nemaha Valley and Cheney for a 3-0 sweep that set them up nicely entering Saturday’s money rounds on the Hutchinson Community College campus.

Heritage Christian finishes with a stellar 40 wins this season.
