Major props to Pohaku to make it to semis in 16O after starting as the 14th seed against this field. Taking down TAV in the quarters was no small feat--especially since I believe TAV beat them pretty badly in the pool play. Forgive my ignorance, but has this club been around long? I think I've only heard about them the last couple of years. Pohaku broke off from MAVS/Dynasty and brought some kids from those clubs over to form this new one.

The semi-finals between 1st Alliance and AZ Storm was actually Abby Vander Wal vs Arizona Storm. If someone took the stats they would probably find Abby got 90 percent of the sets, at least when I came to watch in the middle of the second set and third set. She was blocked once and dug a couple times but everything else hit the floor. In the ten percent of the times when they set someone else they were either blocked or hit it out. They may have been less effective because they never thought they were going to get set. Perhaps after they lost the first set the coach told his setter set Abby every chance you get.

It was honestly such a battle between Sigler and AVW. Fun match to watch. Vander Wal : 23 kills, 5 errors on 49 total swings (.367) Sigler: 23 kills, 3 errors on 41 total swings (.487)

Final 4 in 17 Open: Dallas Skyline Houston Skyline 1st Alliance Arizona Storm Kind of wild that Dallas Skyline made it without a single top 20 recruit, and maybe not even a top 50… Austin Skyline has two top recruits who are Texas commits and they tied for last place. Rankings don’t matter. Dallas Skyline has a lot of underrated players imo. If you’ve watched them, their team chemistry is unparalleled.

Rankings don’t matter. Dallas Skyline has a lot of underrated players imo. If you’ve watched them, their team chemistry is unparalleled. I wouldn’t say that rankings “don’t matter”. They aren’t always accurate and there are misses and certainly players that get far too much hype and players that don’t get enough. Just because a players club team doesn’t do well as a collective unit, doesn’t mean much about the individual players abilities or potential. Players like Kendall Kip and Skylar Fields weren’t even playing on open level teams, but nobody would say that those players were less likely to be good college players because their club teams weren’t great.

Rankings don't matter and college coaches would say the same thing. In fact I have heard it come out of several college coaches mouths. Rankings are a way for third parties to generate clicks and revenue. There is a website that does rankings for the State of Ohio and they are terrible. They have players ranked who don't even play anymore.

Oh I agree that it doesn’t mean the ranked players aren’t good. Most of the time they are great players, but one great player can’t carry a team, that was more my point in regards to the comment about Dallas Skyline not having top 50 players but getting as far as they did.

Do we know who got named All American at Nationals? Those are at least voted on by the coaches in the Gold bracket, I would assume?

Don’t remember the whole team (assume someone at one of the magazines will post it at some point) but Teraya Sigler, OH from Arizona Storm, was named MVP. Not sure what the selection methodology is.

I figured it would be a certain number per position. There seemed to be more than one middle who was deserving but I guess not.

Hard to choose middle if they're not playing 6.
Interesting to Legacy’s late addition to the team didn’t help.
