Besides that awful reference to a Nelly song, Cary-Grove has what it takes to be the number 1 team in the nation. Or as I like to say the fighting Cary Grants! The sensational net play by Kelly Lamberti and leadership by Colleen Smith is unrivaled at the high school level. I could go on about how talented and well-prepared this team is, but more impressive was the support they got from their fan base. There were cut-out cardboard heads of Kelly Lamberti in the crowd and the student section was going crazy the entire game. The entire Cary-Grove team took the time to high five the fans after their win.
Even before the game the team was interacting with their fans and getting them all worked up by throwing out t-shirts during the line-ups. If you don't think it was crazy, just ask Dr. Pete how loud he had to yell just to get a shirt from his new best friend!
This may have been the first game that Danny V and myself (A-Lo) got to call, but it was certainly not the first high school volleyball game either of us has attended.
We might have been spoiled by covering the best team in the nation, but right now I'm posing a challenge to Benet Academy, where we'll be broadcasting their volleyball game on Tuesday, October 19th. I want to know if their fans are as passionate as the fans in Cary-Grove!!! Don't just wear school colors and cheer, go all out and paint your faces and yell as loud as you can. Keep the cheers PG of course! And the best decked out fan will get a picture with the announcers and have it posted online!!
Best of Luck to Cary-Grove And We'll See You At Benet Academy In Lisle!
A-Lo
