Tonight was Senior night at York. Now, the last few Senior nights myself or Alex has attended, the festivities have seemed to get the better of the home team. Tonight, though, this was not the case. York showed why they are one of the top ranked teams in the state.
To the Warriors credit they started set number one keeping stride with the Dukes. M. Klaassen, J. Conley, and strong play from Libero S. Hernandez were the brightest spots on this young team that plays in a tough conference.
When you play a team like York it becomes a good measuring stick for you. And the Warriors have nothing to be afraid of. Set one went to York 11-25. Set two went quickly. With the set and match firmly in hand Coach Iverson of York began switching her starters out. Sophmores R. Iverson and A. Nosek making the biggest impact of the underclassmen. In the end the Dukes of York (gosh it's fun to type that) took set two 8-25.
Our Voolii Lifestyle (www.vooliiboom.com) trend setter of the match was actually very special as we had the four Seniors from York stop by our broadcast booth (FINE! It's a table...let us dream). These four ladies are captains on the team and it isn't hard to see why Leadership on the court. Skill in offense and defense. The ability to play call, make adjustments, and know when to let someone else make the play. C. Rose, M. Semmelhack, K. Gallagher, S. Schrenker led their team to victory tonight and hopefully to a deep playoff run.
I know this is my first year calling volleyball and I haven't seen all the teams in the state. But, if I could go out on a limb. I am picking York as my personal favorite to go all the way. They have the power up front, the clear leadership, and a deep bench that is balanced from top to bottom.
We are only a couple weeks away from the playoffs...Time will tell if I am right.
Till next time true believers!
