How has Jayden Julian(sp?) from HC fared this year since returning from the ACL injury?

NDA vs St. Henry seems inevitable, but . . . Ryle/Scott could get interesting - I've seen Scott look really good, and really bad, the good Scott will have to show up to pull the upset. Ryle/St. Henry could be an interesting match too - Ryle is good, but it may take them another year or two to topple the usual suspects. HC can play very erratic and doesn't stand much of a chance vs NDA. It's going to get real interesting next year adding NCC to this mix, although graduation is going to set NCC way back for a few years.

I agree. Not counting Ryle or HC out but ND and St. Henry would be a good finals match to see. I say ND wins and really think they will have a chance to win a state title. It will be tough to get by Assumption though assuming they will be there. I think graduation and moving to the 9th region should definitely hurt NCC for the next few years. Don't they have like 8 seniors, or something like that?

With the weather forecast for Wednesday will the NCC vs CovCath be able to be played? Could it be moved to a turf field so it could be played on a playable pitch even on Thursday?

A LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN TO THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY...AND THIS RAIN MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES. ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN IS EXPECTED FOR THE REGION IN GENERAL...BUT ISOLATED LOCATIONS MAY SEE UP TO THREE INCHES. THIS COULD LEAD TO MINOR FLOODING OF URBAN AREAS...SMALL STREAMS...AND POOR DRAINAGE LOCATIONS.

Let's hope they have a roof for the volleyball tourney.

Now that's funny...I don't care who you are.

Yea, I think 6 or 7 - beats me how many get actual playing time. Big shoes to fill and harder for them to reload unlike NDA or St. Henry. No one in this state has a shot against Assumption, as I have so famously stated over and over.

I think if anyone has a shot at all it would be Notre Dame.

Really, BK? I had no idea you felt that way!

They've already had 2 shots this season and are 0-2. If NDA plays 100% perfect and Assumption has their worst game ever, then yes NDA wins. It's the same thing you would say in any lopsided matchup. But if your only shot to win is perfection by you, combined with utter collapse by your opponent, that's not much of a chance.

Just saying that Notre Dame has the best chance. Although I wouldn't agree with you that Assumption has to play their worst game ever for ND to win. Notre Dame should not be taken lightly and I am sure they won't be. It is difficult to beat a good team three times in one year. We will have to wait and see.

The real tragedy, as I have repeatedly cried out about, is that they won't be meeting for the state championship.

The most recent match between the two schools, the scores were 24-26, 23-25, 25-18, 25-19 and sets three and four were closer than the score indicated and those scores were still close. Honestly, I believe Assumption, Sacred Heart and NDA are the top three teams in the State this year and Sacred Heart is already out losing 22, 22 to Assumption in the District Final.

 

NDA, in my opinion, will be fine against Assumption in the State Semi Final if it plays out that way. You have to beat the best to be the best and based on history (and State and National polls) Assumption is the best.

 

We'll see what happens. Let's just hope it does.

Couldn't agree with you more on this one, but unfortunately that is how the draw went.
