You legally cannot say no to a male player - since they don't offer a men's program.

As the rules stand with the MIAA (massachusetts interscholastic athletic association i believe) males can play. They are STRONGLY SUGGESTED to hit back row only and not play front row. However they never passed the rules banning a guy from attacking in front of the ten foot line.

There were a few hearings about it like four years ago? However the board that shot it down had no volleyballers on it, so it didn't make sense to them why they would want to pass it.

Thanks for the clarification, strazz.

well, that sucks...but, he does get to play with 12 sweaty girls in spandex every day...

Naw, not all the girls wear spandex. Plus, his girlfriend is one of the captains...so that'd be awkward if he checked us out with her watching. Which he doesn't.

He wasn't even gonna play this year, but his gf convinced him, too. I think we would have sucked a lot if we didn't have him.

Ew. I'm pissed. We lost against Lawrence: 0-3. That is so bad. Ugh. We were SO out if it. Let's just leave it at that.

I feel like my setter NEVER sets me, and when she does set me, I'm in the back row. If she does set me outside, it's wayyyyy too out. She seems to set certain people...over and over again. I want a kill. And damnit, I want a good set. But I'm not going to entirely blame her. She is the only setter. She has a lot of decisions. And I'm slightly injured...aka, my right achilles tendon is hurting every time I try to point my toes down. I don't know if that will go away, but I do know that's kinda bad. I feel like I can't even jump that high anymore. Ugh.

The new coach told me at the beginning of the season that he felt that I was more useful as outside and defense. As an outside, I'm not getting good enough sets and I'm not being useful really. I either never get set, have to bump it over, or hit it into the net. I'm kinda sad. I think I'm also not happy with not being setter and I resent being just an outside. Ugh. I don't know what to do. I want to set again.

Sorry if this isn't coherent.

PS, highlight of my day: kid from Lawrence who was on the Bay States Boys Scholastic team said, "Good game!"...to us as we were leaving Lawrence. I say, "Good game back!" And right as I turn away he asks, "Hey, are you number 2 from Bay States!?" Damn right I'm number 2 from Bay States.

Okay, I'm done with my rant.

Is Bay States in MA like Empires in NY?

NewEnglandRT · 09-20-2006, 10:17 PM

Yep. Sure is.

thew0nginator · 09-22-2006, 08:17 PM

Yayyyyyyyyyyy. TheW0nGiNaToR's back in action! Aka, I'm playing my usual game now (my hits are in, my serves are in, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME WITH ME!). Woot.

We won against Dracut: 3-0.

It was pretty sweet.

I got to see my friend who was on my Bay States team. She was basically the entire team, and when she served, she picked on me...a little.

Uhm...I dunno what else to say.

Next game is against North Reading.

thew0nginator · 09-27-2006, 12:36 AM

Lost against North Reading: 2-3. Thought that they'd be tougher competition, but they were doing nothing special at all.

First game was pretty close. We only lost by a little. Second game was a complete DISASTER. 9-25. Disgusting. We took the third and fourth games. We just couldn't pull it out in the last set. That made me sad because we should be able to know how to win the 5th game by now.

My friend Chelsea Paolella who plays middle sixpacked someone. That made me happy.

Has anyone every played the kind of volleyball where you're just fooling around and not really trying and making the other person try and get the ball with a**hole passes and whatnot? I call that kind of playing a**hole volleyball. And I'll tell ya...a**hole volleyball really helps in real games. Haha. Especially when someone almost shanks the ball and you have to get it back up somehow... The boy on our team and I are pretty good at it. Yeah, I'm just mumbling on.

I'm not disappointed with today though. Sure, we lost, but we played well...better than I thought we would seeing as we lost one player because her ACL tore, and then another player (who plays the same position as the one who tore her ACL) might have mono. I'm hoping she doesn't and that it's just a cold or something. So we have to move some people up from JV because we only had 9 people on our team. So we only had 8 players today. A JV player was already moved.

Next game is against Andover.

PS, I like to jump serve.

thew0nginator · 09-29-2006, 08:47 PM

Lost against Andover (duh...they're 9-0 now). But it was fun seeing everyone I knew again. I can't wait for club season.

Won against Notre Dame. 3-2. We played like crap, and we realized that we play to the other team's level. Yuck. I hate that. What I don't hate is the fact that I had 17 kills today out of all 5 games. Woot. Rick Dumond complimented my hitting. Yayyyyy. Serving sucked at the beginning, but I got...6-7 service points in the 5th game to make it 12-4. Woot.

Next game is at Westford. Rematch baby!
