What are everyone's thoughts?

For those that are not intimately familiar with the strength of the teams can someone rank them for me? I know NDA is 1. Who will challenge them?

St. Henry and Cooper are close to each other as #2's but will not present a challenge to NDA. NDA should win Region 9 without dropping a set.

 

The order in my opinion

NDA

 

 

 

Cooper/St. Henry

Ryle

Beechwood

NCC

Villa

Highlands

they way they are playing right now, and considering injuries, I would go

 

1. NDA

2. St. Henry

3. Cooper

4. Beechwood

5. Ryle

6. NCC

7. Villa

8. Highlands

 

I know NDA is 1. Who will challenge them?

no one. NDA hasn't lost a set to any of these teams.

Great draw for Cooper.....should be a Cooper/NDA final

Wasn't NCC in a different region in the past?

Semifinals will pit St. Henry against Notre Dame (6:00PM) and Cooper against NCC (7:30PM).

Wednesday's semifinal results:

Notre Dame over St. Henry, 3-0 (25-11, 25-10, 25-21)
