Well, looks like we get Hale on Tuesday... 32-30 in game 3? Maybe our team shouldn't have left after game 2.

haha yeah i def noticed that. ill try man idk alot of our kids at our school dont give a damn about vball anymore. most of the people who came last year were seniors. but ill try none the less.

and libero110 it might have been 12 idk ill find out cause its buggin me. im pretty sure it was 12 but hey i can dream right lol

Well... Sectional semifinals and were at 66 pages....

if SOMEONE hadn't started a new thread we'd be at 100, but we gotta pick it up to reach the century mark here guys...

haha im still pulling for 100 pages... so pick it up truth lets go!

any upsets people can see on tuesday? i could see Shorewood giving Tosa West a tough match, if Sam is on he can carry them for sure. Also, that Kaukauna/Kimberly match will be a good one, its too bad that one is so far away. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hale beat Pius either. Hale is a real scrappy team and they got some big boys in their front row. We'll see what happens.

You wouldn't be suprised to see hale beat pius? for real!? Sure hale is scrappy, but pius is the scrappiest team in the state led by the scrappiest player in the state, that of course being THE dan kowalske. If i saw the box score that said that pius lost to hale i would consider that the greatest suprise i could imagine. Yeah upsets can happen, but i don't see that one happening at all.

I cant see that happening because puis doesnt do to well agenst a team wiht a cuple great hitters and hale only has that one kid idk what number he is or anything but they can just dial in on him and games over. puis can get anything up. but they struggle wiht a team that has multiple big hitters.

I dont think that one will happen, anything can happen, but i think that one is a long shot. Brock is one of the best coaches in the state. He is all about fundamentals, defense, and conditioning. They have the craziest, best libero in the state, and a 6'5 outside in Dave who is finally learning the outside position after playing right side in club and high school til this year. They have a very good setter, i just dont see Pius losing to Hale, but again anything is possible. But that goes back to how great of a coach that Brock is.

Pius won't lose so we can just drop that subject they are to scrappy and too fundamentally sound to lose to a team like Hale.

But i can definately see Pius giving Marquette a run for their money. Pius's scrappiness will come into play for that match

Anything can happen on any given day... I have to keep putting it in my team's head (and my own, for that matter) that we can't look straight to Marquette, because there are teams that can and will beat us if we overlook them. Hale seemed to play some decent D, had one big outside, and some athletic middles. We'll play our game, and I'm banking on that being enough.

Well Hale did take Marquette to 5 games. Ture Marquette played like the crap the first and then played their backups the 2nd game and then slaughtered Hale the last 3 games but still, Hale did take Marquette to 5 games.

how about the homestead/manitowoc lincoln matchup? i feel a potential upset right there.

I would like to see you guys play Marquette that would be a exiting game to see i can see Pius's Defence getting in to Marquette's head and it could also tire Marquette out cause they always try to bounce... there for i totaly thing that Puis could win that game.

haha Dan would have the biggest smile on his face if they won haha i can see it now

I think that the best potential upset would be Pius over Marquette because of Dan, he is a senior, and he is gonna be digging everything!!!! Marquette was kinda overlooked this season losing Mike Hutz and many key players but again they are number one in the state and you have to give them credit, but Pius plays the defense that can frustrate the powerful marquette offense.

Haha, I Can't even say anything to that.

looks like i'm the only one that thinks hale can upset pius...okay fair enough. i believe 100% that pius is the superior team with the superior players/coach, but I've seen both teams play this year, and I can honestly see Hale winning the match. Chances are slim, but I would not be surprised if it happened. Hopefully this gives Dan some extra motivation to win, because I really would like to see a Pius/Marquette final rather than a Marquette cakewalk over Hale. Aside from this discussion, probably the most exciting match will take place a few hours north of us between the FVA schools.

Extra motivation? We have a chance to play Marquette in a sectional final. I've never played Marquette in a meaningful match before. I don't need any added motivation.

good answer. that marquette-pius final would be one hell of a match...just don't overlook hale, and you should be playing that meaningful match on thursday night. good luck to you guys.

You guys should all come down to Kimberly High School tuesday and watch a real rivalry with Kaukauna vs. Kimberly. This is equivalent to North Carolina vs. Duke for high school sports. Trust me. The drive may be long but the atmosphere will be intense and we both bring in enormous fan sections.

i'd love to, but i got my own rivalry game that night. good luck though

Taking nothing away from your rivalry, because I'm sure it is a huge one, but do you seriously think it is as big as North Carolina vs. Duke? I mean, boys volleyball in Wisconsin vs. Duke vs. North Carolina...

Duke vs North Carolina, especially in Men's or Women's college basketball, compared to a wisconsin high school vball match, that isnt Tosa East vs West? IDK man hard to believe!

Wow now im getting pumped just hearing about it i totaly want to check this match out but first. the teams have to get there.

He's saying the Duke Vs. North Carolina is equivalent to the Kaukauna Vs. Kimberly matchup as in highschool rivalrys. Not in just guys vball, but in every single sport. In every sport imagineable if its' a Kimbelry Kaukuana matchup it's alwyas a huge turnout. Last year for football, the line to get in was just ending as the fourth quarter started. It's pretty huge around here...but yea i'm looking forward to it. So Pumped!!!

So now my question is... Truth which sectional game will you be attending?

tosa east versus tosa west and tosa east versus marquette are way better rivalries

Right now I am leaning towards the battle of the Tosa's if that happens, or all this talk makes me almost want to go see Pius vs Marquette. I know I will not be going to Homestead's 3 game sweep, or sectional 5.

aww nuts you won't come and watch us in Fort Atkinson? bummer

Okay, i believe that those are also very good matches with evenly rated teams. But you Shouldn't talk about something you do'nt know about. I believe at the beginning of the year you were saying the the FVA sucks and that we shouldn't talk about the teams up north,(hmm) becaue you didn't know what you were talking about. You have no idea how big of a rivalry the Kaukauna Kimberly rivalry is for every sport, so don't say they are "way better rivalries" I'm not saying they are or aren't, but honestly, don't be so narrow minded.

the marquette-tosa east rivalry is for every sport. in some cases its beyond sports. it is a huge rivalry. im sure i go to muhs and live in tosa, so many of the kids around me go to tosa east, so im right in the herat of it. im not downplaying kimberly and kaukana, but muhs-tosa east is pretty heated.

Correct me if im wrong but i dont think i ever said the FVA sucked, and if i did then im sorry for that but i just didnt think they were worth talking about in the preseason because i thought they should come prove themselves down in the milwaukee area before we go off talking about them.(which some of them have and they have my respect) I have been very suprised with some of the teams playup there, and i was narrow minded when i said they are way better rivalries because i havnt seen the matchup. But when te and muhs play in any sport it is so heated like nothere said. I remember around 2 years ago muhs played te at te it was sold out and there was something like 1500-2000 people there with no standing room. sorry for being narrow minded because i dont really no the rivalry up there but i would pay money to see a more hostile crowd then when TE plays marquette. Its insane. Also the TE vs. TW has been very very hostile the past two years in the sectional final. .As they call it the "battle for owning tosa". So that's another great rivalry.

so yeah park vs case on tuesday at park at 7 idc if anyone really comes i just know it should be a good match the last time we played wasnt that far of a victory margin in the first game. lets just forget about the second haha

I would bet the Racine battles get pretty intense? what do you say Baker or Moe?

i wish racine was closer so i could watch the racine derbies

well, mike idk if u were there.. it was our freshman year? your soph... when horlick played park at park sectional finals... our whole bleachers pulled all the way out were full, our portables were full, and the other side of the courts bleachers were full. it was seriously the most intense game ever. horlick ripped down our sign, so we stole a stuffed animal and ripped it. it was classic. so yeah it dosent matter on the skill level of the racine teams playing, when they play eachother.. you are garenteed an intense game.

marquette nicolet in 2001 i believe was the greatest volleyball match in wisconsin volleyball history. there was so much talent on those two teams. hammer, bailey, grunst, dwyer. i think i was in 7th grade or something. filled up all the bleachers at muhs. it was so loud.

see those are the games u live to play in, but when it actually goes down.. you get soo nervious. its a catch 22

I don't think it's a bad rivalry. But someone compared it to Duke-UNC. Right. I'm sure the Kimberly fieldhouse for a volleyball game is packed exactly like Cameron Indoor for a Duke-UNC basketball game. Identical.

Bad comparison is all.




Nervous? What is nervous?

nerv·ous (nûrvs)
adj.
1. Of or relating to the nerves or nervous system.
2. Stemming from or affecting the nerves or nervous system, as a disease.
3. Easily agitated or distressed.
4. when you feel like butterflies are in your stomach and you do not want to make an error.so you play safe volleyball. which is not so good.

so i added the 4th one. but there u go dan,

Ah, I'm quite familiar with the first three. Number four? Not so much....

Number 4 in for whimps with names that start with J and last names that end in B and whose grade is chemisty looks like this: F

Um.. taylor.. youre stupid.. see, my last name dosent END in B.. it starts with B... so, your dumb? and my chemestry grade is a B also, jerk.

According to Dwyane Wade (in his commercial for his new shoe coming out soon), "An athlete is lying if he says he doesn't get nervous."

If nobody can tell, I guess you could say I kind of like Dwyane Wade.

o well i thought it was humorus... And everyone may get nervous but its the ones that contain it that are true champs

Agreed, and so does Dwyane Wade, and obviously he can contain it enough to be NBA Finals MVP.

He talks about how it's not a nervousness not to succeed, because he's confident, but a nervousness not to let others down.

Anyhow, enough from me about Dwyane Wade, since it's a volleyball forum, but if anyone would like to talk to me about Dwyane Wade and my experiences watching him all over the nation you can talk to me on AIM (check the profile for my screenname)...I can go on FOREVER.

Wow.....

hey pat d-wade called he said his nuts hurt so get off them.

hahaha RIB!

your cousin, jack

oh snap

HA GOOD RIB ON YOUR CUZ MAN!!!

Just saw the preps plus team of the week, Milwaukee Pius. I am shocked that there has not been any posts about the 1 minute clip. I think with that segment Pius just took over the lead for most television coverage of Boys volleyball in the state this season.
