Gretna East must have hired Shaq to coach them up on free throws... I had to run an errand last night and turned on the radio and I think they were 3 of 12 or something at one point.

Ouch

I want to see a rematch between Lincoln Christen and Milford. I believe Milford's only loss was to LC by 2 points at LC and LC is undefeated.

Correct. That is the matchup I am looking forward to as well. Milford can really shoot the ball and they have the 6-3 girl inside. Should be a good game.

I am also curious to see if anyone in D1 can hang with Pender. We'll see if Elm Creek can. I wish Pender was in C2 like their boys are for more competition.

We played Milford and they kicked our ass. It's not just the 6'3" girl either (who can dribble, shoot, rebound, play defense, she's an all around great player), but they also have another 6 footer. We managed to contain the tall girls for the most part, but they just tossed it outside and drained shot after shot all night.

See you tomorrow at 11.

Might be the best game of the weekend.

Honestly, the first time I saw them play, I wasn't too impressed with the 6-3 girl. She didn't do anything special. In Wednesday's game she was more of a force with eight blocked shots.

But yeah, they had a ton of excellent shooters. Shoule be a very good matchup with Christian.

If I remember right, I think she's only a freshman too 😲

She is. I hope she keeps playing and doesn't become a VB only player.

Yes. She is Lisa Reitsma's (NU VB All-American) daughter.

Updated original post in thread after today's semifinal round

I was told by a friend of mine from Milford that she’s committed to being a 3 sport athlete. Terry Pettit coached mom and Terry hates what club VB has become and is a huge proponent of 3 sport athletes.

I saw a video on twitter of her dunking a volleyball with ease but don’t remember who posted it.

Milford team has serious talent, they have another good freshman that came off the bench to basically win the game for them yesterday after their star guard fouled out.

Nebraska VB will always be able to get elite hitters from anywhere. I wouldn’t mind seeing this girl go the basketball route.

Ended up a pretty good game. Couple of good freshmen in purple
