Boys Volleyball

TAUNTON, Mass. – Most of the boys’ volleyball teams in the playoffs boast a strong outside hitter-middle combo, but not many have the complementary and depth pieces that the top-seeded Taunton Tigers possess.

While seniors Lance Law and Lens Esquil spearhead the Tigers attack, classmates Collin Hunter, Malik Charles, and junior Alex Tavares complete a relentless attacking corps, one that helped the hosts pick up a 3-0 (25-19, 25-18, 25-15) sweep over ninth-seeded Brookline inside the Rabouin Field House at Taunton High School.
The result marked the program’s first-ever playoff win at home.
“I think that’s what separates us is that we’re able to bring in that second layer of offense,” said Taunton head coach Toby Chaperon. “A lot of teams are expecting a lull or hoping for a mismatch, and they may or may not get it from us because we have the athleticism throughout the lineup. Being able to bring in that second wave of hitters and a middle, that helps us.”

Law (nine kills) gives the Tigers flexibility with the ability to hit as an outside hitter or an opposite and Esquil (10 kills) provides power up the middle. But when the Tigers rotate, there isn’t a soft spot in the lineup. Hunter (eight kills) is dangerous as an outside hitter, Charles (five kills) can hit in the middle or outside, and Tavares is a presence at the net at 6’4.
“I think that has brought us to where we are right now,” Chaperon said. “That’s really the difference maker. We know going into any match there are going to be some good hitters, a good middle…but if our other guys are on, I don’t know if there is a better complementary trio in the state. There’s still a long way to go but I feel highly about my guys. If they are playing the way I know they can play, we can do alright.”................................................
