new thread up for Wednesday.
12. you’re right. my bad.
13. Sheward was listed as a backup libero. don’t think that was ever the plan. He was a setter-Opp in HS. They could have gone without a libero.
15. Galloway had dental surgery over break. can’t fly back until Saturday.
16-17. It’s going to be situational as to who is the No. 2 setter. Van Eekeren and Sheward bring different skills, set differently..
Thelle for sure is No. 1.

Hot – I think Jackson van Eekeren is #2.

13. Thanks. I remember him in the Libero jersey but apparently never got in as he’s listed as a redshirt freshman this season. If Thelle is No. 1 at setter, who do you think is No. 2?

I don’t see Chaz Galloway in the photo and did not see him at halftime at the men’s basketball game. Is he hurt? Sick?

Hope nothing bad has happened.

darkfire35….not sure if this will help, but at the time the ball is served, players cannot overlap the players that are immediately next to them. For example, the player in front middle cannot be more to the left than the player to in front left. The front middle cannot be more toward the endline than then player in middle back.

Back left player can be more to the left than front middle as long as middle back is still more to the left than back left.

I know it can get confusing.

#11. Shewie was Gage’s emergency backup, but with 2 local boys coming in as liberos, he can concentrate on playing setter.

9. You’re welcome, darkfire35.

8. I’m referring to a situational 6-2, which can occur once per set, usually late in the set (as I mentioned in my comment) and is used by several international teams. Brazil men’s for example. I am going off on what you stated Wade saying all three setters will play. Also, wasn’t one of the guys listed at setter wearing the backup libero jersey last season? Perhaps he’ll play back row.

To the rest of the community, who on the Wahine team could take the place of BVS’ skills in speed, I.Q. and athletic abilities? I guess, until 2021, we’ll just have to wait and see. Until then, for 2020, GO BOWS!!

7. Thanks for your input. The more matches I watched, the more I saw that there were 4 players in the back row prior to the serve that included BVS who was technically in the front row. Norene was in the back row where she was supposed to be in Zone #1. BVS, who is technically a Zone 2 player was positioned to the left of Norene(zone 1). So there was actually 4 girls in the back row with Zones 3 & 4 in the front row. I’m guessing that what I saw was a variation of that theme with either 2 players showing in the front/4 in the back or 3 in the front/3 in the back. That way, the other team has no idea what formation they’re about to execute. Much mahalos Hot!!!
