The 2015 seasons for San Pedro, Port Of Los Angeles and Mary Star Of The Sea High Schools had a contrast in styles, but produced amazing results.

Behind first-year coach Mike St. Louis, San Pedro would post a 21-8-1 overall record, placing second in the Marine League with a 10-2 mark, with the only two defeats coming to eventual CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division I runner-up Carson. The Pirates still managed not one, but two thrilling five-set victories over rival Narbonne of Harbor City to solidify their season.

San Pedro, behind a veteran team, swept Birmingham of Lake Balboa in three sets in the opening round of the CIF-LACS Division I playoffs before falling in the quarterfinals to host El Camino Real of Woodland Hills.

Port Of Los Angeles behind first-year coach Rowel Ramirez, shook off an early five-set loss to Mary Star where they blew a 2-1 lead, by going 8-0 in the Crosstown League and reaching the semifinals of the CIF-LACS Division III playoffs, where they lost to eventual champion Jordan of Los Angeles. The Polar Bears posted a solid 18-5-2 record overall, even tying San Pedro in a short two-set San Pedro Pirate Tournament match on March 21.

Mary Star would miss the CIF-Southern Section Division IV playoffs after going 9-15-2 overall, placing fourth in the Camino Real League with a 4-6 mark. The Stars and coach Norm Lantz, two years removed from winning the league title, dropped six of their final nine matches when they only needed 10 wins to qualify for a potential at-large playoff bid.

San Pedro senior outside hitter Conor Healy made the All-City Division I second team after pacing the Pirates with 115 kills, 26 blocks and 22 service aces, as the All-Marine League first team selection is our 2015 San Pedro News Pilot Prep Boys Volleyball Player Of The Year.
