With league play underway for many of the spring sports, high stakes were a recurring theme at Monday’s SBART press luncheon at Harry’s Cafe.

The Santa Barbara High beach volleyball duo of Cora Loomer and Josie Gamberdella shared Athlete of the Week honors after going 3-0 at court No. 1 in victories over Oxnard, Dos Pueblos and Santa Barbara. Loomer and Gamberdella won all three matches in straight sets, including a 21-0 win over Oxnard.

Josie Gamberdella and Cora Loomer have been dominant as Santa Barbara’s No.1 Beach Volleyball tandem.

On the boys’ side, Cullen Gully of Dos Pueblos Track & Field took first place and established a meet record in the 1600 meter at the Don Green Invitational with a time of 4:20.13 . He was also a member of the first place Dos Pueblos Distance Medley relay team, which set a meet record time of 11:05.60. Gully also took first place and set a meet record in the 900 meter with a time of 2:01.56.
