Amador Valley junior diver Scott Garman is making a mockery of both the East Bay Athletic League and North Coast Section diving competitions.

On May 5, Garman routed the NCS field, taking home the gold medal with a 544.25 total, more than 105 points better than second-place Owen Peterson of Redwood.

Garman, who has been diving on both springboard and platforms since the age of 8, has broken the Amador school record a number of times. The latest came in the EBAL meet with a total of 594.25, once again over 100 points better than the next closest diver.

Amador entered the NCS Division 1 playoffs as the No. 2 seed and opened the tournament taking down No. 15 Deer Valley 25-15, 25-21, 23-25 and 25-18.

The Dons were led on offense by junior Luke Melvin (14 kills, 10 digs, 12 service points) and anchored on defense by sophomore Parker Brookhart (4 kills, 9 digs), while Colin Bowers efficiently orchestrated the attack from his setter position (27 assists, 2 blocks).

In the second round, the Dons took on No. 10 Heritage and dished out a straight set, 25-16, 28-26, 25-17 win.

Freshman Max Riter showed his versatility with an emergency start at setter, then moved to outside hitter in the second set and finished the match with a number of sparkling defensive plays while playing libero. Also playing key roles in the Amador win were junior Tyler Homes (7 kills, 11 digs, 10 service points) and junior Nate Clinton (team-high 15 kills, 10 digs)
