Name better middles in the state then Charlie. Chris Esser and Josh Bleck (if that is the junior Arrowhead middle with the fro) may be, and both of those are debateable. I have not seen Fro play this year, but have heard good things so far, so he may be also (he deffinately has the potential, but as you said, is unaggressive). But other then that I'm pretty sure there are no better middles in the state, and those top four all have their matches that they are better or worse then the others. I'd say top four in the state is pretty premier. Charlie also has one of what I would consider to be the three best blocks in the state, so why would you put your best blocker on the other team's setter/right side hitter? Not to mention from what I know he has played middle all his life, so why put him at a position where he would be uncomfortable? And I'm not sure how his passing is, so maybe if it's not great that is why they use him as a middle blocker. Chris Esser has the athletic ability to be an outside, but he DOMINATES as a middle, so why change someone so dominant to somewhere they may not be as dominant at? Not to mention, they already have one of the best outsides in the state and I'm sure they have another good outside hitter, so they do not need another one.

Okay...so who was better, the
2004 Hilltoppers or the 1970
Oakland A's?!?

alright saying last year was unpredictable is not a good statement at all. no one predicted us to even make state in the first place and we did then they predicted us out first round against arrowhead. and we beat them in 3 then they predicted tosa west to smash us. and we lost to them by a game. thats just our upsets there are plenty more from last year. it wasnt predictable at all in my eyes.

Yeah, but last year everyone knew who was going to win. Did you honestly think that Mike Hutz was going to lose? Plus he had some of the best players around him like Dan said who were very very consistant. Thats how you win games not by bouncing, even tho it is really fun, but by playing consistant volleyball. And that is what Marquette did last year, and you won't find a better leader than Mike Hutz was, calm cool and collected.

Tosa West beat tremper 21-2 this year, and didnt schulte almot have 40 kills last year against marquette at state? Larry really shut him down didnt he?

I saw the pools for the tournament but I can't remember all of them...
I know our pool is Marquette, Middleton, Mukwanago, and Bradford...
It should be a really good tournament, most of the top ten teams are there.

so let me tell you, appleton north should never be bad mouthed again. they truely earn all respect in my book. they played Amazing volleyball today and it was unfortunate that we got stuck on there side of the bracket, when the second place team in our pool, kimberly, got a breeze to the championship. and another thing, middleton looked very sharp today as well. there actually wernt that bad of teams in this tourny like some perdicted earlier.

now i really want to play appleton north, i hope they're in either the middleton or blue duke invite because they're on my list of teams to play. what's their star's name? drew oswalt?

Just got back from our tourney, the results were....

First-Appelton North
Second-Kimberly
Tied for third-Kaukauna/Racine Park

Some comments...Appelton north totally owned Park in the semi. Beating them 19-8, 19-14. I was excited to watch that match and North had total control. Kimberly looked better than i thought they would. I conisderd them to be a solid team, however, they won the first game against north, and beat us(20-18, 19-15). Kimberly could cause some upsets to good teams, and i think they and north are highly underrated. No other teams really jumped out. I think Horlick didn't even advance to the playoff play(taking 3rd to Appelton west and Middelton) my ending comments are... that as time goes on, everyone forgets how good North is becasue they haven't seen them play for a while. other than teh first game to kimberly, they owned every team they played with ease.

P.S. Watch out for whoever goes to state for the fva, cuz i guarantee that none of us will be pushovers.(kimberly/north/kau)

Anyone got the middelton pools for next week?!

sorry where was this tourny held at?

it was at kaukauna

haha i think it wass at... kaukana??

went to the arrowhead tourney for about an hour today, and i would be extremely suprissed to here if marquette did anything but dominate that entire tournament... i thought more good squads would be there?
Marquette guys have homecoming tonight so we wont here the final results of the AHS invite unless hawks or someone else posts i guess...

middleton is shaping up to be a HUGE tournament, maybe bigger than the bay tournament we were all looking forward to..

rey u said the dark blue tourney.. im assuming thats the bay tourney right??

congrats to appleton north on the win, will they be at middleton next week? jmc seems to know more about them than his own team so im counting on him for this response.

Drew oswald, don't let his height fool you. He's prolly close to 5'11" but is one of the top OH in the state, but he has alot of supporting cast with the S and RS

And no offense Irish, even though i realize you beat kimberly, they put up a better fight against north that you did in the semis.

ouuch, nothing false about that. we did get smashed, but if u watched the game before, we got into big holes and , idk about everyone else, but i seriously had praticly nothing left after the middleton game. and then to play again against a beast of a team thats fresh, but like i said before, your right. we did get smashed.
