Trinity Shadd-Ceres was named the Ontario U18 Female Athlete of the Year. This is across all sports, mind you. Way to go, TSC! Can't wait to see this kid play. She should be fun. |

Can't wait to see this kid too! I'm fine with the 6-2, but look forward to seeing her at the center of a 5-1. Was funny reading how the coach was telling his passers they don't have to be perfect. |

Do we think the Badgers will take their international trip this year?!

Interesting question. Maybe they can go Poland and Orzol can show them around.
P. S, please avoid Russia.

Do we think the Badgers will take their international trip this year?! How often do they go? It’s been 4 years since the trip where they discovered Orzoł, and 12 years since the one before that. |

They've been to Europe a few times now. I wonder if a trip somewhere totally different that is also a vball hotspot makes sense. Brazil? China? It's still Europe-ish, but Turkey?
I want them to stay as far away from the Ukraine/Russia frontline as possible for now.

If they go to Istanbul, it's both Asia and Europe!
And I think stay away from China as well.

Are we on Bingo watch after tonight?
Figure they have to be bringing in a piece or two. Even if just in supporting roles. Losing Demps as first off the bench when somone is struggling or hurt is a big blow to the depth. Plus with Liz and Anna moving on along with Hart you lose quite a bit leadership and alot of that energy from the bench as well as some serving specialists.
Here's a question. Were we better the few matches CC was out with her finger surgery or better with her back wearing the cast? And if she was out for the season and the tournament run does Demps transfer? I love CC and she does so many small things that don't show up on a stat sheet. It's kind of like the Hart injury last year. It was devastating at the time but without it do we see Anna as Final Four MVP or Demps develop that back row attack. Maybe they win the title last year either way but maybe they don't. Watching an injured Hart on the bench mentoring and talking to Anna every time she was off the court really showed her leadership and commitment to the team.
Butterfly effect type stuff.

Are we on Bingo watch after tonight? Probably. By my count we have 2-3 schollies free with Jade leaving, depending on which smalls are on schollie when. |

Need a lot of help in the back row If you're running a 6-2, and we will be, there aren't a lot of subs available to make use of "a lot of help in the back row". (And we already have a nationally rated libero/DS coming in.) |

I’d argue we were better with CC back in a cast. Not sure we beat Penn State without her 12 blocks. |
