After Tuesday’s playoff loss to McLane ended the Madera Coyotes boys volleyball season, the match was indicative of the Coyotes this season — inconsistent. 

The sixth-seeded Coyotes had late leads in the first two sets before losing 25-23 and 28-26 to the much more animated 11th seeded Highlanders. 

The Coyotes were never in the third set before a 25-19 loss.
