CRESWELL – Boys volleyball is thriving in its fourth season, with participation and team numbers skyrocketing, more advanced teams, and a higher level of competition.

It’s no surprise that the Creswell Bulldogs, led by Anna Baltrusch –who has led generations of Bulldog volleyball players in her 31-year tenure – are among the best – 14-1 and ranked 17th among 1A-6A teams.
