Arguello Claims OC Player of the Year

Ben Arguello, Huntington Beach High’s senior volleyball star, just claimed Orange County Player of the Year honors for 2026 after leading his Oilers to a Sunset League title and a thrilling semifinal run. He shared MVP honors with teammate Logan Hutnick, last year’s winner, and turned a key rivalry loss against Corona del Mar into a dominant victory. Rising from freshman varsity to elite attacker, Arguello’s physicality and all-around game made him unstoppable. Next up: Golden West College, a state champ team, where he’ll carry that same fire — and miss his squad’s electric energy. Meanwhile, Orange Lutheran’s Henry Valiente earned Coach of the Year for guiding his team to a Division 2 title and a regional finals run — a 27-win season that capped off a historic year.
