correction. pat and mike were both out against arrowhead. pat was seeing limited time against nicolet. i believe that helped them.

hahaha sorry... I know you guys will play them tough and you definately have the potential to beat them


But like everyone said on the forum so far, Marquette just doesn't lose at the end of the season. Sorry i didn't mean any burnage by it. My bad

What do you mean. "still just watching" is brad, the north shore coach/nicolet coach. I don't think that he has ever hidden that. But that was funny that he is a teacher and has nothing else to do all day long.

Homestead vs. Marquette


Game 1: Homestead (25-14)
Game 2: Marquette (25-20)
Game 3: Homestead (I forgot)
Game 4: Marquette (I forgot)
Game 5: Marquette (15-13)


That was intense. Fro had a great game, and bounced the 2nd last point in game 5 insanely. #11 for Homestead had a good game.

i was talking about the truth

i am just curious as to who you think is too high and too low...i think that there are some that are too high and too low also

personally i think it looks money to me, except for the kimberly seed, i could see it being alittle bit lower.. possibly them 10th, and pius 8th, then arrowhead at 9....

I think they're actually good at 8th. You have to think about them beating north (1 of only 2 teams to do it this year) and i don't think arrowhead should be ahead of them considering kimberly's beat them twice so far this year, and if i recall, it wasn't all that tight of matches, however i could be wrong.

thanks capncrunch.. who are you again?

i mean i see your point, and its aactually a very good point, i was just goin on us, no offence, but kinda drillin kimberly, and then of course getting drilled by appleton north, ha ha... thats a diffrent story.. so i mean thats what i was kinda thinkin on that one.. and then arrowheads victory over CM was a reall shocker which means something had to click with them.. so maybe it will continue, but who knows.. well have to see with sectionals coming up.

ok since no one else i posting their opinion on the match or anything i guess i will.
*Fromader dominated the fourth and fifth game because Homestead was only putting a single block up on him. Once Hogan put the ball up there for him, he was unstoppable.
*Meyer played well and found holes in the block.
*Marquette was able to focus their huge blocks on Bazan and Meyer because they were only front row together for one rotation.

and as for the scores in the 3rd games and 4th games, the 3rd was 25-21 Homestead, and the 4th was 25-23 Marquette.

Oh yea, and if someone has the darn homestead pools, post them! seriously, i wanna know whats goin down on saturday.

I believe kaukauna is in marquettes pool.

K thanks.

I don't think a triple or double block would have made a difference on Fro, in those last 2 games he was hitting right over the single block and hit his last one near 10 foot line.

STRONGLY disagree with Coach Jay's decision to keep Steve down on the serve. He wasn't effective as a float server, and you DON'T win big matches by being conservative. You have to use every weapon in your arsenal, and that includes Steve's jump serve. Otherwise... quite the hard fought match. Rumor has it Larry wasn't happy with his team's play... but they got the job done.

That was an excellent match to watch very entertaining. Homestead played well throughout the game, but I did think Marquette was very sloppy passing. I actually would agree with Jay's decision because steve did rattle off 5 points in a row in the 4th with a nice floater. Overall Steve played well, but was overwhelmed all but a few times with Marquette's triple block. that is when they got it up. Steve did get roofed a fair amount of times. He was unstoppable on blue balls from the right side. Charlie played about as well as I thought he would. Early in the game Homestead was much crisper overall and Marquette was very sloppy. I really think Larry should have someone passing for Lehman. Now I have only seen a few games, but at that point in the game I would have pulled him. I thought Becherer's timing was a little off towards the end of the time, he was going either too early or too late and his balls were always long. Heaton had some defense issues, but his hitting was solid and he had a few critical kills. I could see how Larry would be upset. The man only demands perfection, anything esle is unacceptable...........

I believe there were two turning points in that game. One was the play of Fromader. He was just plain unstoppable from the third game on. I wouldn't have mattered if they got two or three up on him cause he just hit over everyone and that bounce at the end was phenomonial. I think I actually heard the floor say ouch. The one thing Homestead needed was a powerful middle presence in the 5th game and they didn't get it, they relyed on there outsides too much. The other was the crowd got into Steve's head a little bit. He was visibly shaken after a little heckling. I didn't think the crowd took it too far. I remember a few Tosa East games where there crowd got into our heads a little bit, its all part of the game. Overall fun match to watch and I wouldn't wanna be at either teams practices tomorrow........

I also wanna apologize if offended anyone with a few of my remarks. I realize I might have caused some controversy and I just wanna apologize.

haha. filtz are you old news? great play by play by the way. and as for larry not being happy, i dont think larry has ever been happy in his life unless he sees someone vomiting during one of the teams runs or something weird like that. its larry...sounds like a pretty good match. i was disappointed i couldnt make it. so did fro finally get his head out of his butthole and learn how to start hitting the ball? and as for meyer float serving...if he had been consistently missing, then id say keeping him down might have been a good call, but if he had been serving well, you never wanna keep a good jump server down.

Did larry take a timeout at all during those 5 games?

Did Meyer choke? He had 19 Kills he must have done something else right. However Schinner only had 31 assists. That is 12 kills from the rest of the team, that is not going to win big matches.

Did anyone play well in this match besides Fro? This post makes it sounds like it was a sloppy awful match everything is negative.

Steve did miss serves at 23-23 game 4 and late in game 5 (before the net call at 13-13)... take that how you will. Other than that, he was finding seams in blocks during the entire 5th game. I think he probably had 6 kills in game 5 alone.

"Did Meyer choke? He had 19 Kills he must have done something else right. However Schinner only had 31 assists. That is 12 kills from the rest of the team, that is not going to win big matches."


I checked the stats and I had 9 kills, Jack had 7 and Zach had 5. So that number should be around 41 there was a mistype in the paper brad. Along with HHS missing 16 serves.

i believe something like 4 or 5 of steve's kills were off overpasses.

There was a mistake in the original pools. Switch Nicolet and WA Hale. So its Marquette, Tosa West, Hale, and HC and pool D is North, Nicolet, Greendale, Bay

Strange but true…

Both the Pius volleyball and
football teams have a
chance this week to clinch a share
of the Classic 8 championship;
When was the last time that happened??

Thursday, the Fightin’ Popes v-ballers
play at KM; both have a 5-1 record.

Friday, its football’s turn-
KM travels to Pius, both are 5-1.

Arrowhead just upset CMH to set up
the vballers’ chance to tie CMH.

CMH just upset Arrowhead in football
to set up the fb’ers tie with the ‘Hawks.

Coincidence? I think not….

The football game is tonight at 7 at Wisconsin Lutheran College. Hopefully they get that first win and we get our shot at winning conference tomorrow. Should be a fun two days.

Hahahaha thats actually really funny now that you point that out.

Yep

Larry had no reason to be happy, except for the fact we narrowly won the game. The passing was terrible. Larry isn't happy until we win state and win in Texas. That game should not have been that close on paper. Fro played the game of his life, but he is still not openning up, but he did play with more emotion. As for meyer, he definitely could have put the game away in the fourth, but he choked, simiple as that. Meyer was solid throughout the game, but Homestead can't expect him to put down every ball. I think meyer has a solid float serve and I think jump serves are overrated. A good hard floater with lots of movement is better than a hard jumper.

agree on jump serves are overrated. myself being a libero i would much rather pass a jump serve then a tough floater any day.

Marquette had like 20 people in the crowd besides the parents, how could that small group get into steve's head.

Thats what its all about right there haha

Your right Marquette's crowd was small, but they were right next steve when he was on the bench and he was definitely getting an earfull.

Nuff said

And the point of this was...?

he looks like harry potter...didnt u see wat john said before the park burlington game

Oh alright

sorry but ahs football slaughtered mukwanago like 40-0 tonite so they win the c8 conference crown

That doesn't mean anything... in the Classic Eight, the teams with the best records win. Period. No tie breakers, no head to head or points, nothing... so even though we beat pius and km, the winner of that game shares the conference crown with us. Same for football, arrowhead is 6-1, and is pius wins, they will be 6-1, thus, sharing the conference crown. Personally? i like head to heads determining only one winner.. but maybe thats just because i will never hear the end of it from Dan on AIM about how they are as much of conference champions as we are ;-) haha.

I like Jim Rome's quote that "I never saw an argument that 'scoreboard' didn't win." Pius may be 6-1, but Arrowhead's got scoreboard. ;-)

Hey, we have to win first....

And I know everyone wants to come to Pius-Kettle Moraine tonight to determine the second Classic 8 conference champion....




...and yet there will still be a number on the Pius Football conference title banner. Interesting.

Final Great Metro Standings

1. Marquette 8-0
2. Homestead 7-1
3. Tosa East 6-2
4. Nicolet 5-3
5. West Allis Hale 4-4
6. Brookfield East 3-5
7. Whitefish Bay 2-6
8. West Allis Central 1-7
9. Brookfield Cental 0-8


No real suprises here.
The Greater Metro does not have a conference tournament so Marquette wins yet another title and now 23 straight Metro conference matches. Last loss came the first game of the 2004 season to Homestead

Yeah I am bored at work today, guess my scissors are broken, and I ate all the paste

it is interesting that there were no upsets.......everyone that should have won did.

PIUS WON IN FOOTBALL!
(What?!?)



o.s.coach and Mrs. coach will be...what about
the mascot?

Haha that's awesome. I'm kind of doubting the mascot will be making the trip out to Kettle Moraine, the first day we got him somebody ripped the tail and all of the stuffing started falling out. Mrs. Frings did some pretty nice handy work on it but it's only been to one game since and that was a home game. It's pretty big...

Come on now brad, you dont have to cover for your kids just watch them a little closer next time

Tail??? stuffing?? pretty big?
I was talking about the kid who dressed
up as a pope...

he used to come to v-ball
games a couple of years ago.
Now that you mention it, I did
see THAT other mascot.

haha Brad you would eat all the paste.

Oh hahaha, my bad, yeah I was talking about the stuffed giant tiger Tyler Frings won at the Mag/Cal Drive Assembly, we named him our mascott...

I'm still pretty new with this whole Pius thing , I've never seen that mascot

I'm pretty sure Alex Pawlak was the guy you're talking about. That was a pretty nifty costume he had.
