People watch NASCAR for the wrecks, not to see who wins. Highlands is an uncharacteristic 1-6 and a dumpster fire right now, so yes the threads will continue because it's a headline and unusual. If Cov Cath beats them it will break the internet.

I think you meant Jack Link's

Don't give yourself too much credit, people like to talk about extremes..the highs and the lows. If u were 3-3, it would be less interesting. And how is it hateful to discuss and comment on a 1-6 team? One of the most storied programs in the Commonwealth is 1-6 and you thought no one would notice? "we knew it was coming" "2 year downturn" "the calvary is coming" sounds a lot like the ROTC student in Animal House..."remain calm, all is well"

Aces should never be part of the discussion. Go look at stats when Assumption plays Sacred Heart and tell me how many Aces there are. 2? 3? total for the match combined for both teams. High end volleyball isn't about Aces, it's about aggressive serving that puts a team out of system, and there's not a stat for that. It's real easy to run off double digit Aces when you play weak teams who simply can't serve receive. And there are a lot of teams like that.

I have no idea. Is there a front runner? Most years it's pretty clear-cut who will get it, this year seems to be different. I'm going to bet that no one from a public school has ever won this award. Does that change this year?

What has happened to Scott? Still the Fav in Region 10 but watch out...

Final. The 9th Region plot thickens. NCC with losses to both Highlands and NDA.

Yea, and if you had read the first post, you would know that I'm not the one saying, and more inportantly, not the one who started saying, 'the cavalry is coming'. Only the staunchest Highlands supporters and direct pipeline insiders are saying that. I asked what are they basing it on?

Yes it was - in fact it's only Highlands fans that are saying that. They're the insiders, and they know more than us outsiders about their program and have been very clear to point that out. They all know what we don't know and have posted many times about it. Shall I repost them all?

Aren't we all agreeing?

Would that mean the HHS players are fresher and less fatigued vs the more fatigued 2-way CCH players??

don't worry - the calvary is coming!

how do you know? are you coaching them now? do you mean compared to other schools? or to what they have now?

you mean they actually, physically move there now? when did that change? lol

Maybe. I just know that NCC is too high. While SK, Highlands, and NDA were in the Lady Knights Challenge with all of the state's powers, NCC was in the All A. or playing Bellevue and Dayton. Overrated.

Oh yes. I like Ryle in this one. They've played a tougher schedule than Cooper which I think will prepare them better for a match like this. But, the fact is neither team really has a quality win this year so far.

I know that wasn't my question - I was expounding and responding to Clyde's comment. But, the consensus answer to my question seems to be something about depth of talent, and a winning tradition. So I guess it's more of a gut feeling things will get better.

Yes, today. for now. but would you say the same in 5 years if the downward trend continues? Notre Dame used be the big dog in football, but boy do things change.

Guess who's not having that "down year" all the NDA outsiders were predicting would happen? Still the team to beat in Region 9.

So NDA pounds SK, and SK beats Highlands, but it's (3) Highlands, (6)SK, (12)NDA - yea that makes sense. NCC 8 spots better than Assumption? Please. The only thing they got right is SHA is #1 - that's a no-brainer.

With 100% confidence, I see it posted over and over by Highlands defenders..."we knew this year was coming"..."2 year dip"..."the cavalry is coming". I would ask - to what are you basing this on? Frosh scores? JV scores? Youth football league scores? Those are Fool's Gold. Future success is guaranteed to no one. How do you know that this isn't the new normal?

Why would anyone want to see a 6-6 UK team play in the Camping World Independence Bowl? I say they don't win a game this season.

I think the running clock adds to the blowout because the clock will run whether you throw or run...so coaches think, why not run the "normal" offense with the 2's or 3's, which usually involves throwing and actually leads to more scoring. In a blowout situation, the victor should not be throwing no matter what your "offense" is. If it's a regular clock, no coach in his right mind is going to throw the ball and stop the clock and look bad...it would be all runs, and likely less scoring.

Many for $6 on stub hub for tonight. I understand game #4 of pre-season, but cheaper than a HS Game? Only the Browns.

So how come all the other matches in the same local vicinity were completed? Why was the 30/30 rule not followed at this match?
