And very interesting to see the number of second-generation players :
Crabb, Yoder, Shaw, Hanley … i’m sure I’ve missed a few.

It was a tight race between sanders and Taylor. I personally felt sanders deserved it though. And I’m also shocked siki didn’t get anything. He IMO deserved at least HM, and I had him on second team.
Averill 6-3 on first team along with Taylor Crabb 6-0 (Punahou, Beach); Micah Christenson 6-3 (Kamehameha-USC), Josh Taylor 6-3 (Punahou-Pepperdine)
Good! All MPSF teams consist of players 6-5 and above. I am not sure if someone else questioned this 1st team All MPSF lineup.
2. What? How could the mpsf teams be all 6-5 and above when half of the people you listed aren’t 6-5. You need help
3. NONE of the players Tiki listed are above 6-5!
4. Just noticed that lol. Well my point still stands. He makes zero sense
congrats to averill and sedore!
is tiki808 saying the mpsf had heights listed incorrectly? the mpsf release at the link above doesn’t list player heights.
averill is listed at 6’7″, christensen listed as 6’6″, and josh taylor at 6’7″ on their respective schools’ rosters.
unless tiki808 has info on their actual heights or is referencing something else completely?? hard to tell with him … oh well.
Yoder may be third generation. They have been around San Clemente/USC a long time.
Congrats to Taylor and Brook, hopefully this means Taylor will be first team all american. He deserves it.
A lot of these top players are Hawaii products.
Sand VB appears to have beaten LBSU 4-1. Hopefully this solidifies their spot at Nationals.
Hope Wade has another big outside and a middle coming next year. Heard he is going after a good sized setter. Maybe Siki’s dad can help recruiting with his connections to his country’s junior national teams.
Way to go wahine beach bows, taking care of business!
Anyone got the scores?
Anyone got the scores?

Amazing! Every single match being a sweep with the one loss coming in three close sets. The wahine surely proved they deserve the spot and they’re one of the best teams in the nation
Great to hear the Wahine had a great weekend! On to Bama to win a National Championship! It’s amazing to see what Wong and Co have done in such a quick amount of time
great job by the wahine … not just for winning, but winning decisively. a trip to nationals is well-earned and well-deserved. great job by coach wong on the progress made in just a few short years of the program!
Big West Challenge wrapped up today with the Pairs Tournament.
