"Look for Notre Dame Academy to challenge Louisville powers Assumption, Sacred Heart and Mercy Academy for supremacy in the Bluegrass State. The Pandas, 34-8 a year ago, will be looking for third first state title in almost 20 years behind a standout senior class that includes LSU-bound setter Elly Ogle, Penn State-bound middle Heidi Thelen and Xavier-bound libero Meredith Klare, who anchors an out-of-this-world defense that also includes Micaela Stephenson and Kylie Colvin, plus sophomore sensation Morgan Hentz, a future stud libero in college who will likely hit outside for NDA…"

 

Seems someone on here just mentioned those were the 4 best schools in the state . . . not a tough prediction by the way. I still say look out for Ryle, they are loaded too.

In other news, the sun rose today.

Still worth posting. Sustained Excellence is never easy and should always be celebrated. Highlands Football is going to win state every year, so are u saying it's not worth posting about?

Nope. I'm excited for this team but what is worth posting is talking about great expectations and how anything less than a state title is going to be a big disappointment for ND. I think what is worth asking is this a referendum on the coach's ability? Will Matt be missed? Those are the questions inquiring minds have.

I don't have answers to those questions, maybe you or someone else does. I agree expectations are high at ND, but aren't they every year? Isn't every year a referendum for every coach not named Dale Mueller, Ron Dawn, or Maureen Kaiser?

Everyone in Park Hills has moved on. Here's hoping for the same for all the Bluegrass Preppers out there.

 

The volleyball players and staff at NDA work as hard if not harder than any team in the state. Trust me, no one wants to win more than them. However, Mercy and Assumption are the same way....hardworking kids, great staff, great club seasons. It is anyone's year...NDA has a chance but (as posted on another thread) to say anything less than a state championship is a disappointing season, just shows the poster's ignorance to volleyball in the state of KY, namely Louisville.

I'm well aware of Louisville's dominance. I'm saying this is their best shot, imo, to bring home state. I'm certainly rooting for them, but this is a message board. Speculation and expectations are a given on the site which is why I posed the questions. It's a little bit more than, "Yep, they're going to be good. Nothing to add here. Next question." That thread would die a slow death.

KyYank....I guess I took the above about big disappointmentunless a state title is won too literally.

Isn't that exactly what u posted in post #2? Gheez, get your story straight.

How did the Pandas do in scrimmage v Mercy?

I watched ND earlier this week against Cooper and all I can say is WOW! Looked very good to me!

Thought I'd resurrect this thread. Anyone want a do-over?
