Had a nice chat with Passi before practice for a feature that will run Friday. Guess I have to do a Fluff Alert. Anyway, coaches and players seem very happy about the progress being made. The various lineups looked good and they did, as Shoji has promised, a lot of 3-meter attacks. All OHs hitting from both LS and RS. Greeley has a really sharp angle cut shot from the left. Magill continues to impress with how quickly she gets […]

Lifting day. As mentioned before they go M-W-F. Nikki Taylor said she’s been cleared to run, saying it’s ‘baby steps.’ There continues to be music played during practice for the first time I can recall. Heavy on the country towards the end. Afternoon practice spirited and loose. Ah Mow-Santos set one side, Wong the other for a bit during warmups. They went into a scrimmage, pretty evenly matched. Magill and Adolpho are usually on the same team. They started out […]

Friday’s second practice went fairly long, until after 630. Both setters looking good, working well with the middles. Magill has amazing hops, gets up […]
