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.

 

An old volleyball gheezer once told me "In volleyball games played to 25, anything more than 5 points is a blowout." At first I didn't agree with that, but now I kind of do. Games that end 25-19,18,17 seem close, but they really aren't. It's an interesting concept.

Well, when the scores were 15 -13 (3rd) and 16 (4th) all in the third and fourth sets, I would consider that closer than the scores indicated. Just my thought.

 

We'll see what happens if they meet up in State.

That Ryle v St. Henry match might be closer than everyone thinks tonight. Wouldn't shock me if it went to 3.
