Horizon High School captured its first FHSAA Class 6A volleyball championship on Saturday, defeating DeLand in the state final. The victory marks a historic milestone for the Horizon program, which had never previously won a Florida High School Athletic Association title in the sport.
The match, covered by Orlando Sentinel reporter Buddy Collings, showcased Horizon's resilience throughout the postseason. Details on set scores and individual performances were not immediately available in the initial report.
DeLand, a perennial contender in Florida volleyball, fell short in its bid for another championship. The loss ends a strong season for the Bulldogs, who had advanced through the bracket to reach the final.
Horizon's triumph adds to the growing legacy of Central Florida volleyball programs competing at the highest level of the state's largest classification. The championship was decided on November 8, 2026, concluding the FHSAA 6A tournament.
