Which teams will be going to the Chicago bid this weekend and which ones do you think can make some noise? And a question.. has an Ohio team ever won the Chicago bid tournament?
Make some noise? Like win a bid? I doubt any Ohio teams win a bid. Vanguard 18-1 is the best team for their age group in Ohio, so I'll say they come the closest. No Ohio team has ever won the Chicago tournament. Vanguard 18-1 2014(?) is the only Ohio team to ever win a bid tournament to my knowledge, which they did in Florida.
Quick question for all our Darby/Vanguard buddies:
Is the talent well drying up in Columbus? Every age group besides 18s Cinci Attack finished higher
And the 18's match against the eventual Chicago Gold Bracket Champion Adversity was fantastic and could have gone either way. It was the toughest match Adversity had over the last 2 days. Vanguard earned a lot of respect from that match.
No bids in Chicago
14 Open:
- Cin Attack finished 9, Vanguard 16
15 Open
- Attack 7, Vanguard 13
16 Open
- Attack 11, Vanguard 26
17 Open
- Attack 19, Vanguard 23
18 Open
- Vanguard 10, Phoenix 21, Air City 31, Attack, 31
I agree about the grade school programs. It helps the kids get exposure to the sport at a younger age. I'm not sure it is as big of a deal as you are making it seem, though, since the coaches are typically a parent with limited volleyball experience. However, it is better than nothing.
What about the match that Adversity lost? Or the one that went to three? I would guess those were tougher matches
