Horizon boys volleyball tops Windermere, advances to second consecutive regional championship game

Led by star senior outside hitter James Candrian and his 16 kills, nine digs and two blocks, Horizon High boys volleyball topped Windermere High in straight sets — 25-17, 25-23 and 25-19 — in the FHSAA Region 3 semifinals. Horizon’s junior setter Ian Silva had 29 assists, two digs, 12 points off serves and one kill.
