Record-setting setter: Burnt Hills boys’ varsity volleyball senior Calhoun breaks program assists record in sectional final sweep of CBA

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake senior Sean Calhoun didn’t realize he had broken the program’s assist record during the Section 2 Division 2 final against the Christian Brothers Academy of Albany on Saturday at Schenectady High School. He only found out when head coach Paul Sander called a timeout in the middle of the opening set when the Spartans jumped out to a 14-0 lead. “They didn’t tell me,” Calhoun said. “They said Coach Sander was telling everyone on the bus, ‘Keep it quiet.’ And then I’d never seen him call timeout while we’re on a serving run, so I knew something was up. I was like, ‘What has happened?’” Dishing out passes is instinctually for the four-year setter, so he had no clue he was even in range of the record all season. Calhoun’s historical 2,905th assist was dished out to junior Cole Bechtel and seemed like a run-of-the-mill feed until the game was stopped for Sander’s small ceremony honoring the Burnt Hills senior captain.
