I know I sometimes get a little grumpy about topics and that includes the hitting percentage. What I guess what I was getting at initially was in reaction to someone putting it all on the setters for the low hitting percentage. And that was the point about charting every set because sometimes the hitters had a wide open look and hit wide or into the net or, as we know, the linesmen call it out when it was clearly in.

53. We’ll see about Maglio. She is moving really well and people will see that if she is given a chance to start. Playing sand in the spring helped her overall game as well and she looked good in Europe when the middles had to play back row.

56. Worsley is doing well. Did do a brief about it for Tuesday’s paper and completely forgot about adding it here. It was a long day at the arena and between twitter, the blog and writing stories simply forgot where I posted things.

Something I did ask Shoji that didn’t make it into print was about the team maybe resenting Mitchem being so late getting here. He said the players knew about the situation and were fine with it. As some pictures from twitter and other social media have shown, players were already hanging out with Mitchem after she arrived Saturday night. I know she got taken to rainbow drive-in for lunch.

We’ll see where she best fits in, either middle or OH. More after practice.

The program will go on without Dave, but for many of us, it won’t be the same. I would be happy with sweet 16 and with lots of luck and pray – the final 8. In my wildest dream, it would be …

I think if he decides to play libero he will give Kanetake a serious run for the starting position this season.

oh yeah, a 6-2 is pretty real, however, i wouldnt entirely rely on thinking that way.

Last season the middles were not set that often.

Hitting percentage is only part of the story. I cited the hitting percentage in reference to #15 only. I regret citing it as it is all moot now. Unfortunately, once cited, it becomes fair game. Ever watch fox news!

It is also cited in VT site under Hawaii 2015 by another poster. Ask her yourself tomorrow. Watched the CA JC Championship game – IVC vs. Cabrillo online, and yes, she makes a major step out kill, as well as lots of kills as outside hitter.
