Madera Coyotes boys volleyball head coach Rhonda Jefferson-Counsel knew the week after Spring Break was going to be a tough one. 

Not only did she have to deal with her team coming off the break a little rusty without any games for a week-and-a-half, but her team also had to face the top two teams in not only the County/Metro Athletic Conference, but in the Central Section — Sanger and Bullard. 

The Coyotes played tough against the Sanger Apaches in a three-set loss Tuesday in Joe Flores Gym. However, the margin of victory in the three matches was only 14 points (25-21, 25-19, 25-21).
