I read a few weeks ago that Jenn Boss is partnering with Keao Burdine. Boss even went to P.R. (where Burdine is playing in the league) to practice together. I have not been following the P.R. league this season but I gather that Burdine's season may not be over yet.

So it seems that Boss is partnering with Ross for Miami. If this partnership takes off, will Boss stay with Ross or go with Burdine later?

The news I hear is that Mason (April's initial partner) may be out until the first week of May. Til then, I think we'll see Boss/Ross.

For Huntington, it should be back to Mason/Ross and Boss/Burdine, regardless of how the Boss/Ross partnership does in Miami (and possibly, Dallas).

Will post if I hear more.

I think that Tom should dump McPeak after a couple tournaments and play with April Ross. I think That would be a great team.. both can block and play defense

Tom/Wacholder would be a much better team

Whatever happened to that blonde girl from UCLA who was in the same class as Porter? She played AVP a few years and seemed to have a game that would work well on the beach. Her name escapes me.

Ashley Bowles. Don't know what happened to her.

She was an amazing payer for UCLA on serve receive and defense.

I remember seeing her in the Wisconsin regional matches when she was pretty much covering 2/3rds of the court and as they say "passing bullets".

Oh, great... "Team Gorgeous" as marketed by the AVP in their latest release:

web.avp.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070412&contentid=10674




The members of Team Gorgeous had a rather unattractive start to their friendship.

Suzanne Stonebarger, 26, and Michelle "Meech" More, 25, the AVP's ninth-ranked women's team, first met on the campus of the University of Nevada at Reno. Stonebarger, a college freshman, served as the host for More, who at the time was a high school senior making a recruiting trip.

Boss and Ross beat Kuk / Whitney (#22) 21-12, 21-16 (0:35).

Next, Boss and Ross defeat McPeak / Tom (#6) 21-18, 21-14.

maybe TOM & TATI should partner, both have DRIVE and FIRE., but if TOM is going to learn the beach game let it be from one of the best in HOLLY... poor thing alot of good players have gone through her wings., and she still has not been able to keep one of them.

She played there 4 years and never, ever got better!!! SAD!

The tandem of Boss and Ross defeated #3 seed Davis & Johnson-Jordan 20-22, 21-18, 15-10 (1:07) to move on in the winner's bracket. They will meet #2 seed Young & Branagh for the right to advance to the semi final.

Thus far, the Boss and Ross tandem has been playing great, with both players taking turns hitting and blocking at the net.
