No one will be able to join you. There isn't enough room for you and your ego. Really making those hard predictions by picking the strongest teams to win thier regions/state is tough. Trying picking the winner of a game that requires a little more backbone.

 

Didn't see your bold predictions . . . no guts, no glory. OK - I'll up the ante - here's my bold predictions for 2012 - Assumption will win state again, a public school will not be in the championship game, NDA will win Region 10, but Ryle will win it in 2013. Ryle, St. Henry, and NDA will all be ranked in the top 6. NCC will be rebuilding. And Region 9 will go to . . . Brossart.

Typical - How about picking all Region winners instead of just the powerhouses?

Because the only Regions that are capable of producing a state champion in Volleyball starting in 2012 are 6, 7, and 9. You may not like it, but you know it's true.

I second that motion.

That may be the end result, but let's give the other regions a chance to disprove it.

I understand the thinking that all deserve a chance but BK, bluster and all, is correct.

And BK may very well be correct in the end (Hard to argue with the success of Assumption, NDA, ect..) But there are 13 other regions, and countless schools who deserve the benifit of the doubt until proven otherwise. To just secede that one of these teams will automatically win in any given year isnt fair to all the other young women who play the game. This is why they play the game.

 

Anyway - Congratulations again to Assumption.

Here are pictures from NDA's matches against NC and Assumption.

That may be the end result, but let's give the other regions a chance to disprove it.

 

They've had 33 years and they are 0-33.

 

As upset as I am that there is a blind draw and that really, really good teams in deep regions don't even make it to state, I would think that public school supporters and anyone not in Regions 6,7, or 9 would be crying out for change. 33 years, only 6 teams, from 3 regions. It is not a competitive situation anymore. Something is broken - don't you want it fixed?

I would love to see it fixed but there is a better chance of winning the Powerball. If everyone is going to play, then they will rotate districts and match-ups will just fallout like they do. (If they don't seed for Boys Basketball - it surely wont happen in VB).

 

If public schools want to have the same success as the privates do, then they will have to do what is nessecary. While your disdain for the public schools is obvious, I will keep supporting all the teams than play (yes - even your team).

Congrats to Assumption!

 

The bigger question here is why do they dominate this sport year after year after year? Most years it really isn't even a close contest. Why?

Didn't see your bold predictions . . . no guts, no glory. OK - I'll up the ante - here's my bold predictions for 2012 - Assumption will win state again, a public school will not be in the championship game, NDA will win Region 10, but Ryle will win it in 2013. Ryle, St. Henry, and NDA will all be ranked in the top 6. NCC will be rebuilding. And Region 9 will go to . . . Brossart.

Just a slight problem. Ryle, St. Henry, and NDA are in region 9, not 10, and Brossart is in region 10.

Congrats Assumption! Solution-Class A Regions 6, 7, and 9- Class AA- All other regions.
