The Madera Coyotes girls volleyball team pulled off an upset victory in the first round of the Div. III Central Section playoffs.
Their reward was a home match against Reedley, a team that defeated the Coyotes in five earlier in the season. The 12th seeded Coyotes swept no. 5 seed Hanford to earn a quarterfinal match.
No. 13 Reedley won a five-set thriller at Minarets in the first round.
