The Patrick Henry High School boys’ volleyball team recently capped off an unforgettable regular season by going undefeated in league play and earning the 2025 City League Championship title.

The Patriots will play a first-round Division II CIF game vs. Pacific Ridge at home on Tuesday, May 6, 7 p.m.

Under the leadership of new head coach David Chau, who also heads the Patrick Henry girls’ volleyball program and leads the volleyball program at Lewis and Pershing Middle Schools, the team experienced a complete turnaround.

Led by senior captains Austin Odle and Caleb Weinert, the Patriots found their rhythm early and never looked back.

Odle, a senior outside hitter, led the team with 282 kills, averaging 3.5 kills per set, and also topped the defense with 169 digs and 2.1 digs per set. His all-around contributions included 332 serve receptions and 0.5 aces per set, making him one of the most reliable and versatile players on the court.

Caleb Weinert also had a standout season as an outside hitter and middle blocker. He recorded 262 kills, averaging 3.1 kills per set, and led the team in hitting percentage at .224. On defense, he added 132 digs, 1.6 digs per set, and led the team in serve receptions with 344 and 26 blocks this season.

Reflecting on the team’s season, Weinert said, “Every single guy on this team worked hard all season long. We put in the time, trusted each other, and it paid off. I’m really proud of what we accomplished together.”

Supporting the offense at the net was junior middle blocker Finnley Corbin, who contributed 105 kills at 1.9 kills per set and posted a strong .214 hitting percentage, providing consistent offensive support.

At the core of the Patriots’ success was junior setter Sylas Doan, who ran the offense with precision and control. He tallied an impressive 926 total assists, led the team with 54 aces, and added 15 total blocks, demonstrating his skill on both sides of the court.

On the defensive side, Jack Boyd, a junior outside hitter and libero, made a major impact with 155 digs and 301 serve receptions. His consistent presence in the back row was key to maintaining momentum and transitioning into offense.

Additional key starters played a crucial role in the team’s championship run. Daniel Behne, a senior opposite, brought energy and offensive strength from the right side, along with 17 aces. Connor Carr, a junior who rotated at both middle and opposite, was a solid force at the net, tallying 19 total blocks. On defense, Peter Tu, a freshman defensive specialist, anchored the back row with dependable passing and serve receive.

This season marked a true turning point for the Patrick Henry boys’ volleyball program.

With strong senior leadership, emerging young talent, and expert coaching from Chau and his assistant coaches, the team not only went undefeated in league but also built a foundation for long-term success.

The 2025 season will be remembered as the year the Patriots rose to the top—and stayed there.
