Oh for sure, I just meant with all of their youthNext year? Seems like they both will be super fun this year!

I could see Walnut sneaking 1 set... but more than that will be toughBig matchup tomorrow as Walnut Hills travels to St. X. Any predictions? Maybe a letdown by St. X after their big win Friday night.
Yes, but I'm not sure they're up to the task. Tonight will tell a lot about the middles being able to hold their own.I think Walnut may get them. Don't forget that both of their middles were out against Moeller.
Called it!This just in —- Walnut in 4 OVER X
The "big 3" at Walnut from the Attack 17s are very good, no doubt, and they definitely run the show. However, the other players around them did a really nice job, though. Libero played well, better on defense than serve receive, but good nonetheless (esp. for a soph). The Walnut middles made some really timely plays both offensively and defensively. The right side had a good serving run in set 3 that forced X into a libero sub (then change for set 4).This just in —- Walnut in 4 OVER X
Walnut takes 1-3-4. 25-13 in the 3rd something like 29-27 in the 4th.
any thoughts on the divisions outside the GCL South like the GMC or GCL Coed ? Seems like Carroll has a good hold on the Coed and Sycamore on the GMC as of right now

Despite the early loss to St X, I think Elder is still my pick to win the GCL South. I think they will beat LS and Moe twice each and beat St X at home. And I think St X drops another match somewhere (probably to Moeller, but I could see LS beating them with a good serving night).I would agree with the Carroll take. I like Moeller coming out of the GCL South. And in the GMC I really like Mason!
I agree. I love this year because of how much more competitive it seems then previous years as there many different teams I feel could competeDespite the early loss to St X, I think Elder is still my pick to win the GCL South. I think they will beat LS and Moe twice each and beat St X at home. And I think St X drops another match somewhere (probably to Moeller, but I could see LS beating them with a good serving night).
Centerville maybe top D1 in the West currently, but Creek could beat them at home when that one happens.
A lot of parity this year, I think.
Definitely agree. We will have a better idea of these teams after the first round of GCL play, along with Elder playing Walnut Hills.Despite the early loss to St X, I think Elder is still my pick to win the GCL South.

I’m taking Badin in 4. Think Halverson, Brockman and Vornhagen are too big of difference makers for Fenwick to deal with. I believe Fenwick is pretty young tooAny thoughts on Badin vs Fenwick tomorrow? Rematch of the state semifinals from last year. Should be a good one I’m hoping!
I agree with you. Morris and Gavigan are tough to deal with for Fenwick. I think Even and Dwire are having slept on seasons after watching Badin play.I’m taking Badin in 4. Think Halverson, Brockman and Vornhagen are too big of difference makers for Fenwick to deal with. I believe Fenwick is pretty young too
If Halverson plays anything close to the way he did against Carroll, it’ll be Badin in 3 I thinkI’m taking Badin in 4. Think Halverson, Brockman and Vornhagen are too big of difference makers for Fenwick to deal with. I believe Fenwick is pretty young too
Badin should have a largely successful year and he’ll be a huge part of that. I fully expect him to be in contention for DII POYIf Halverson plays anything close to the way he did against Carroll, it’ll be Badin in 3 I think
Totally agree. Eli has taken a big step from last season and should carry them to some big wins this year, just need some of the other club kids to step up. Just Not sure anyone is going to beat Carroll in D2 this year.Badin should have a largely successful year and he’ll be a huge part of that. I fully expect him to be in contention for DII POY
West D2 you could maybe throw in Reese and Tyler Monnin also from Carroll and Connor Berry from CJ. South D2 I'd throw in Brockman from Badin as well as Hausfeld or Albrinck from LaSalle. Should be Halverson's to lose given his gaudy stats, great efficiency and being a senior. The rest I'd all agree with.Throwing this question out on the "way too early predictions" thread, because it is technically a prediction. With May approaching, who are your front runners for D1 and D2 Regional POY in each region?
South D1- Maune/Bianco from Elder, Patterson from Moeller, Wheatley/Tombragel from Walnut
West D1- Culpepper from Creek, Rings from Centerville
East D1- Joe Kolwicz/Bo O'Leary from Thomas, Noah Koknat from Liberty
North D1- Sam Brown/Patrick Maly from Ignatius, Will Gareau/Jacob Esteves from St. Edward
South D2- Halverson from Badin
West D2- Cannon Tucker from Carroll
East D2- Bennison from St. Charles, Cavanaugh from DeSales, Gavin Grover from Olentangy
North D2- Michael Bowler from Brecksville
the d1 east has to be joe kolwicz. he runs the show for a team that has a shot to go undefeated and win the region. he is the best setter in the state imoThrowing this question out on the "way too early predictions" thread, because it is technically a prediction.
