I don't know the pools but i know that the Classic 8 conference tounrey is on the same day, so no CMH, Pius, KM, Arrowhead, Muktown, and the wauk schools.

What happened to Chris? When/How did he get injured?

He sprained his ankel in our game against Whitefish bay. He sat the rest of the day with ice around it.

It happened really fast, but we think he stepped on our setters foot and then it happened. hopefully he'll be back at practice on Monday. He said it wasn't THAT bad, but idk for sure.

Appleton North vs. Kaukauna @ Kaukauna high school. Show up if you wanna see some competitive volleyball. Man im pumped!

Charlie Williams also got hurt, does anyone know what happened to him?

Charlie Williams got hurt in a nasty collision with the guy who plays defense for Rey. It looked like he probably got a concussion as he was on dizzy street for a while.

What happend to Dan? Did not see im playing vs Homestead.

Overall a tournament according to plan. The top 4 were in the semi's. A few upsets in pool play but for the most part according to plan.

Maybe it was just me but I thought overall the tournament did not have its overall energy throughout the entire day. Seemed very quiet and mellow in the field house all day long.

Dan's cousin, and our assistant coach, Gary was getting married yesterday so he had to leave after pool play to go to that. He was supposed to be in the wedding so he wouldn't have been able to be there for even pool play but Gary kept him out of the wedding so he could.

i agree brad i thought it was very calm there throughout the day not many loud matches or fans. even teams at some points

Hope all the injuries heal up...


As Foley mentioned, I had a wedding to attend after pool play. Wish I would've been there, but at least we'll get another shot at Homestead on Wednesday at Pius. All are welcome. The bigger the crowd, the better.

park at horlick tomorrow, one team will have its first loss. check it ouuut.

i really wish we didnt play south mil tomorrow so i could go watch that but sam if you read this by tomorrow tell john to call me and tell me the outcome of the match

Idk if all the games were quiet.. I know the our game against tosa east wasnt very quiet.. it seemed like everyone was watching that game too... and our game vs. CMH got pretty loud at points too but overall I was actually dissappointed about how we played this weekend...




P.S.- Baker sorry man for ******ing at you after the tosa east match.... that was my bad.. no hard feelings right?

try not to laugh to hard when u see there big 6'8" middle

burlington vs. franklin @ franklin


are they any good...?...who would u compare them to?

Yea sam our game did get loud at some points all thanks to those rowdy Next Level parents haha gotta love them

haha agreed taylor agreed

haha yeah ill try not to but no promises

does he look anything like bc centrals number 15 i think hes a goofy lookin dude

idk i was watching your match it was more of just alot of peolpe crowded in watching your guys' game and marquettes game too. but it was one of the louder matches. it just seemed not too exciting for some reason. sam were you there last year? i cant remember

Thoughts from Saturday at the bay invite

*Alex (the sophomore) from Marquette is one of the best sophomore talents I have seen in my 9 years of watching high school volleyball
*Marquette is starting to click again, something about that Texas tournament
*The funniest moment of the day was overhearing Simon (tosa east coach) tell Rey "hey you have to play defense now, focus" This came after Williams went down
*Braun and Baker are the Elite in terms of Junior outside hitters.
*Meyer's shorts are a little short
*Shorewood looks lost with out Miller
*Marquette's back ups are not as deep as in previous years, one key injury to a starter and they could come back to the pack

(Sorry I did not get a chance to shake your hand, I actually was looking for you but never able to find you when you were not surronded by a bunch of people)

idk i dont remember him but he is funny to watch

Yeah I was there last year... I think its kinda funny tho cause I was a 6'0" starting middle.... haha I laugh just thinking about it.

thanks truth. If only we all knew your real identity. . . .

I would agree on all points. Alex has progressed very well from last year and if he could grow like 2-3 more inches I think he has the potenial to be the state player of the year in two years. The Texas tournament works wonders for team chemistry and Texas volleyball is very different then Wisconsin volleyball so that helps us see all types and utilize both types. I would agree that Marquette is not as deep as in years past. If they suffered an injury they won't necessarily be done. If one of there outsides went down they could bring in stephen and he would do a solid job. If hogan went down redman is a solid backup and would be fine. Middle is where they are extremely vunerable. Jeff Otto could not do the job that Fromader or Lehmann can do. He could do fine for a few games, but in the state tournament he would have problems. Mike Reese the other backup is not ready for varsity play in my opinon. More than one injury outside and they will have problems.

i went to like the third page on accident. thats from august. interesting.

Jack, where are you going with this?

Crazy night! Park over Horlick in 5! Prolly the best match I have ever played in. It was insane... we started out really slow and I felt like I was holding us in it for the first 2 matches maybe even the first 3 before baker really stepped it up and played to his potential.. Idk scores but ill give you my best guess... 20-25, 25-23, 24-26, 25-11, 15-9... somewhere around there....


Ohh and what was soo weird but cool about the game tonight was my dad told me he saw Bo Ryan there which was pretty dope.. but hes was obviously after jamel for basketball... alright but later guys im going to bed.

holy cow, park over horlick in 5 amazing matches, started off horrible luckly sam knows how to step the hell up and get us that W. thats blood.

well thanks sam for stealing my scores post.... jerk ha ha yeah bo was there.

For real?!?!?! Bo ryan is that man!

at pius we have this fundraiser goin on, for selling magazines n stuff, well i def. won this raffle which helped me n playing a gmae of deal or no deal in front of the entire school. it turns out i got this HUMONGOUS tiger and in case u play us (pius) or watch ne of r games this tiger , (#1-other middle other than jack) is our team mascot, so thur is some signifance to him, by the way his name is torsten, after my cuz that plays on the german national soccer team torsten frings, ne way juss thought i'd share a lil' non sense, ttyl

Is it just me or had tosa west been queit this whole year? Last year everyone was going nuts over how Kevin is going to lead them to a state champioship and this year there just chillin. Does anyone agree with this or am i just completely wrong

It takes more than one player to win a state championship.

The coaches poll sounds about right. I'm pleasently surprised that the Fox Vally is up there on the coaches poll.

I am riled for the Marquette-Homestead game. Hopefully there will be a big crowd. Luckly a good number of Marquette kids live in Mequon.

is the CMH and AHS game this week????

Yes - Thursday 7pm at Arrowhead

just so everyone know the tiger isnt our other middle tyler is. i think thats what he meant to say. the tiger is pretty sweet thought i think it might just carry us through... haha.



and to dan.. i dont really know where i was going with that. i was hoping maybe you would figure somthing interesting out?. haha

Did something bad happen to Kettle Moraine? They beat
Kaukauna at Middleton and lost to CMH in a tight 4...
gotta believe they're as good/better than FA and Hale...

You beat me to it... i am baffled that KM fell out of the top 15.... they really played us tight and like oldschool said we won a very very tight 4 game match... is there something there im not seeing? Like a loss to a bad team or something?

idk sometimes things arnt looked at by a match. we beat shorewood but yet they are getting hm and were not. althought that isnt as big a question as kettle moraines absence

*waits patiently for news on Homestead-Marquette*

*waits patiently to play homestead tomorrow*

Damn right. 6:30 PM. Pius XI Fieldhouse. I expect you all to be there. Attendance will be taken. No excuses.

Your going to wait awhile considering that game is still a week away.

Very disapointing loss tonight....North over Kaukauna in 4, games were very very competitive, until the fourth game when we totally fell apart. scores were somewhere around...20-25,25-20,25-23,25-16....

I thought we passed very poorly, but i also think that was a result in their strong serving, alot of tough floats....Good Game all you AN guys.

We'll see them again.

Well, I'll be damned.

Forget anything I've spoken recently, then.

i don't see why kaukana isn't ranked yet, i mean they only beat kimberly and gave other teams a run for their money.

I don't understand what your saying...I think your contradicting yourself.

Good work tonight Appleton North. It was a great game, but late our passers got down on themselves and thats when we took our big dive... Props to their serving as well. I would love to see you guys again soon.

brook east at tosa east tomorrow. im pumped

anyone have any news on burlington as of recent i really havnt seen/ heard of them in anything recently maybe its just me reading over things to quickly but im lost as to whats goin on with them
