Agreed. Since we're talking volleyball here, I don't mind some yelling across the net after a big block or big kill, I know you're technically not supposed to do that, but once you get that out, turn your back and celebrate with your teammates. That lingering back and forth talking across the...

I would use bad blood to describe those rivalries. All three of those rivalries have had brawls/fights, and literally bleeding. The rivalry and borderline hatred of the opposing team by the fan bases takes those to a completely different level. But to answer your question, no I don't tune into...

It really doesn't. Like at all.

Elder won the first set similar to the 3rd one. They were in total control tonight, looked really good. #1 vs #2, St X vs Elder Saturday to go to State.

Tomorrow

Their biggest need right now is to have someone step up and be a closer. In their last match against X, I think they beat them to 20 in each set, winning the 1st and losing the next 3. This group definitely has the best shot to make it back to State since the back to back runner up teams. If...

Perhaps. They may have fared better in a cooler gym too, PC was HOT.

Plenty of occurrences where it breaks the other way. Two off the top of my head: 2009 1st Semi Elder Def Centerville in 3, 2nd Semi Moeller Def St Edward in 5, Moeller Def Elder in 5 2013 1st Semi Elder Def Beavercreek in 4, 2nd Semi Darby Def Moeller in 5, Darby Def Elder in 4 And one where it...

Actually no, almost never on a Tuesday. On a Saturday during the HS season, most teams would do that multiple times a season. During club season, teams are doing that almost every Saturday, sometimes Saturday and Sunday. Really not uncommon and yes they did it for almost 20 years at the D1 level.

To be fair, I'm the one who first brought up the changes and how I'm not a fan, not EHS. And the OHSAA has a track record for being about their own pockets, than the kids and their experiences, see the commments/complaints from the boys/girls state basketball tournaments and expansion to 7...

These guys play in multiple tri/quad matches and/or tournaments (such as the Centerville Elite), not to mention club volleyball they're playing several matches daily, sometimes up to 5-6 matches in a single day. It's really not asking too much to play two matches in a day. There was at least a 2...

Shocking I know.

In Division 1, the State portion of the Tournament used to take 8 teams, 2 per region. There would be four Quarterfinals on Saturday and the matchups would rotate as they do now, but instead of Regions 1, 2, 3, 4 it was N, S, E, W. Sunday would have three matches, two Semifinals and the...

I know boys volleyball has grown substantially since becoming an OHSAA sanctioned sport, but the regional and state format in D1 specifically has really taken a step backwards IMO.

There are a lot of us left that still frequent this board, but the last page and a half of back and forth between you and Pboy saying the same chit you always have to say isn't something anyone feels the need to reply to. Especially when you guys just derail thread after thread with the same...
