The newest installment of the ESPN RISE FAB 50 has little movement as the volleyball season winds to a close.  Final rankings wait as California finishes its state playoffs this weekend.
 
In the CIF Division II race, No. 1 Archbishop Mitty (San Jose) looks primed to take the CIF Northern Region State Championship for the seventh consecutive year.  The Central Coast Section proved to be the most dominant section in the Northern Region as Mitty matches up against a Central Coast Section

rival Mountain View.  The Monarchs bested Mountain View four times this season and look to make a clean sweep with this fifth and final match.
 
In the Southern Region, the Southern Section proved dominant. No. 19 Redlands East Valley (Redlands) faces the same opponent from the CIF Southern Section Div. II-AA finals, Corona del Mar (Newport Beach).  The Wildcats bested the Sea Kings, 25-16,25-20, 25-14 in that finals match up and Corona del Mar looks to even the score.
 
In the CIF Division I race, it is all about the Southern Region Finals.  Two Sectional Champions, No. 2 La Costa Canyon (Carlsbad) San Diego Section Champion and No. 7 Santa Margarita (Rancho Santa Margarita) Southern Section Champion face off in the final showdown.  The Mavericks travel to Santa Margarita and seek revenge on the only team to hand them a loss this season. Santa Margarita looks to defend itself at home and defeat La Costa Canyon for a second time this year.  The winner of this match will face Homestead (Cupertino) of the Central Coast Section or Napa of the San Joaquin Section.
