AKHIL TANGUTUR
A freshman outside hitter on the UC Irvine men’s volleyball team, Akhil compiled 26 kills to lead the seventh-ranked Anteaters to victories over North Greenville (March 6) and Grand Canyon (March 7). After a 10-kill effort in Irvine’s sweep of the Crusaders, Tangutur tallied a season-best 16 kills along with four digs, three assists and one ace in a five-set triumph over the host Antelopes in Phoenix. He helped Palisades High win three straight City Section titles and was voted the Open Division Player of the Year in 2018.
