ROCHESTER — After going unbeaten since 2023, the Eastport-South Manor boys volleyball team’s reign has come to an end.

The Sharks fell in five sets, 25-16, 23-25, 26-24, 23-25, 10-15, to Section III’s Jamesville-DeWitt in the Division II state finals on Sunday at Roberts Wesleyan University. Eastport-South Manor finished its season 18-1.

Coach Bill Kropp said he knew from the beginning that Jamesville-DeWitt would be his team’s biggest challenge, but that his athletes left everything they had on the court.

“They played their hearts out,” Kropp said. “As a coach, I can’t ask for more than them to play as hard as they did. These kids have always been overachievers. They work so hard and they come together as one to compete. They did that today, it just didn’t fall our way.”
