More from the boys volleyball blog:
anybody see the Huntington/Mater dei match?
cant wait to see the foothill tourny… a lot of good teams in that one
If that’s the case, how do you feel about the Best of the West and OCC coming up?
best of the west is going to be crazy especially with some big oc teams playing other top teams…
Olu has Punaho
Corona del mar and Santa Margarita
Edison and Servite
those are just pool play games
Occ’s should be a clear cut preview of who is going to be at the top. Many changes to the top 10 could occur here. What do you think Chris?
I think this week’s Best of the West is going to shake up the top 10. I will put out a look at the tourney Thursday.
As for OCC, I think it will again shake up the top 10. Best thing about OCC is fans and myself get to see a lot of great teams in one location.
Saturday’s (March 20) action should be awesome.
Chris,
Are all of the top 10 teams going to be OCC? If so, are they all in the D1 section?
