Set To KillCal's Potent Offense Has Run Through Setter Samantha Carter for Four Years dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=22010It's kind of a slow news day fluff piece, but it does include a story about how Sam Carter became a setter. It doesn't seem to mention all the details I've heard before - that she was a setter/hitter out of a 6-2 in club. I've seen her hit too. She nearly brought the house down last Spring during an outside scrimmage when she absolutely crushed a ball.

No inflammatory headline this time?

No inflammatory headline this time? No opponents were mentioned in the article. So what would work? How could I work in an inflammatory title involving Samantha Carter and some team with a following on VT? Hmmmmm....... "Sam Carter: Me play for Mary Wise - I don't think so?"  |

If that was the headline, then I would've read the dang article.

Lisa Sharpley Vanacht can still bring it in alumni matches even though she stopped hitting ten years ago when Stanford traded 6-2'er Cary (Wendell) for OPP Kerri (Walsh). If Cal fans want to learn anything more about setting, they can watch Bryn Kehoe next week...  |

If Cal fans want to learn anything more about setting, they can watch Bryn Kehoe next week... Never seen either play in real NCAA competition. However - I did see Lisa Sharpley's quickly assembled team of former college players at Cal's 2003 Spring tournament. That team only had 6 players too, including two former Santa Clara players (including one of the Hirsch twins), and players who played at Duke and Pacific. As for Cary Wendell, I've actually taken some of instruction from her. Cary and Debbie Lambert were serving floaters at us "students" in a post-class open gym. And they weren't taking it easy on us either. They were full-fledge Phil Neikro style knucklers. However - I've seen the real master, and her name is Courtney Thompson.  |

Howzabout "Meteor to Destroy Earth Next Tuesday"? What's that got to do with Sam Carter or setting in general? And it's not inflammatory like, "Getting rid of gophers - any suggestions?" |

Doesn't matter, does it? I mean, we're all going to die next Tuesday.
I suppose some of us could die before then, if we put our minds to it.
Speaking of the sun setting on Life as We Know It, how about that setter out at Cal? Whatshername? Sam Carter? Man, she's been good.

Sharpley was money. I think she was easily the second or third best setter in the country (along with Bonnie Bremner), with both of them behind Misty May. Lisa Sharpley Vanacht can still bring it in alumni matches even though she stopped hitting ten years ago when Stanford traded 6-2'er Cary (Wendell) for OPP Kerri (Walsh).
