Mike Gledhill had 19 kills to lead Woodland Hills Taft to a 15-6, 15-9, 15-12 victory over Venice in the City Section boys’ volleyball final at Cal State Northridge.

Bryan Capper added 13 kills for top-seeded Taft (17-0), which won its 31st consecutive match and third title.

With the exception of a 2-0 lead in the second game, third-seeded Venice (16-1) showed little spark until late in the third game. The Gondoliers overturned a 10-6 lead by scoring the next six points.

But Taft tied the score at 12-12 on a kill by Capper and won on a block by Gledhill.

North Hollywood def. Sylmar, 15-5, 15-6, 15-10--Abner Aguilar had 23 kills and Kenny Hauser added 14 as North Hollywood (15-5) won the Invitational division title.
