This is all the information I could find with regard to the Louisville Invitational Tournament this weekend. I am assuming Notre Dame Academy and St. Henry are in this tournament as well this weekend, however according to the KHSAA website NDA is showing in Chicago and St. Henry is not showing as playing this weekend. Hopefully, those are typos on the KHSAA website. I believe NDA is in Chicago at the end of Sept. / early Oct.

 

This tournament looks stacked again!!! Especially when you take a look at the scores of the top two teams in the state last night when they met:

 

Mercy 3 at Assumption 2 (22-25, 25-23, 9-25, 25-22, 15-13)

 

And Sacred Heart lost to both teams last week:

@ Mercy 0 - 3 (L) (25-21, 25-18, 25-18)

@ Assumption 0 - 3 (L) (25-16, 25-13, 25-19)

 

My stab at ranking the Kentucky Schools for this tournament....

Mercy #1

Assumption #1a

Sacred Heart #3

Lou. Holy Cross #4

Notre Dame #4a

St. Henry #4b

Dupont Manual #7

NCC #8

Ryle #9

 

Is there any information available about this tournament?

 

Is there a complete list of teams for this tournament?

Is there one good source for state rankings or reporting for Volleyball? (Other than KHSAA)?

Many thanks! Great Link!

[BigDP]

Wow, great link....

So, according to this link, the 9th region has 5 of the top 15 teams in the State???? Not to take shots at Ryle, however, if they are the 15th best volleyball team in the State.......

 

And they say the Louisville area is the toughest......?

Any NDA scores?

 

I saw that SHDHS beat LexCath.

[BigDP]

NDA went 2-0 on Friday evening beating Presentation in 2 and Kettering Alter in 2.

 

On Saturday, NDA lost to Sacred Heart in two (25-17 and 25-21) before falling to St. Henry (25-15 and 25-15) in a match controlled by St. Henry from start to finish. NDA finished Saturday with a victory over Lou. Holy Cross in 3 to finish, I believe in 7th place.

 

Sacred Heart wound up winning the tournament in three over Louisville Mercy (22-25, 26-24, 25-15).

 

I have not seen the final results of the tournament, however, I believe St. Henry finished 6th to bring home the highest finish of the NKY schools.

This looks like this was one of the better tourny's in KY during the Volleyball season. What other Tourney's help set the Volleyball teams runs for District/Regional Runs?

Fall Classic is usually good held at Cincinnati Mercy.

[bluefan3]

Assumption won the tournament by beating St. Joseph (St. Louis) in 3 games. The Sacred Heart/Mercy match was for 3rd place.

[BigDP]

Thanks bluefan3 for the udpate and clarification.

 

1st - Assumption

2nd - St. Joesph (St. Louis)

3rd - Sacred Heart

4th - Louis. Mercy

 

MNCM - To answer your question about other tournaments leading up to Districts, Regionals.....

 

I know Notre Dame is off to Chicago on Oct. 1st and 2nd for the Nike Challenge which has a very strong field from across the country.
