Last night Venice Girls volleyball won their eighth
straight district volleyball championship. This is the first step toward the
state championship. We have had November 19 circled on our calendar for a year.
This year these young ladies will not be denied. It was so cool just to be able
to sit and watch as they clinically dismantled the other team in 55 minutes. It
was really neat to see the speed and quickness that we had worked so hard to
develop back in April come together now. In so many ways I am in awe of these
young ladies focus and dedication. Everyone works hard, but they have worked
with a focus and a direction for three years. For me it was all summed in one play
where our setter, Taylor Capaso, all 5’21/2” of her went up and just killed the
ball right between two girls who were both 6”1”. They were three to four inches
taller than us across the front line, yet we consistently hit through and over
them as well as consistently blocked their shots. Our girls can jump!First game of playoff is Tuesday – onward and upward.
