Led by star senior outside hitter James Candrian and his 16 kills, nine digs and two blocks, Horizon High boys volleyball topped Windermere High in straight sets — 25-17, 25-23 and 25-19 — in the FHSAA Region 3 semifinals. Horizon’s junior setter Ian Silva had 29 assists, two digs, 12 points off serves and one kill. 

With its third win over rivals Windermere, the Hawks move to 23-4 on the season — the best record in the program’s short history — and advance to the regional championship game for a second consecutive season. 

Horizon will host the Tampa Bay HEAT, a homeschool-organized team, on Tuesday, May 14 at 7:30 p.m.
