Volleyball team still going strong

The new WVCA poll came out today and Grantsburg remains ranked #1. The Wissports.net poll also gives the highest ranking to the Pirates.

The Pirates have a 14-1 match play record. Their one loss came to the Hayward Hurricanes during pool play during the Ashland Tournament. Hayward is is ranked #11 in Division 2 (Grantsburg is in Division 3). The Hurricanes only have one match loss… a rematch with the Pirates for the Ashland Tournament championship. Grantsburg won that 2-1.

Grantsburg has only lost three sets all year, all three to the Hurricanes (0-2, 2-1).

So, yeah. They’re pretty good.

I was able to take in some of the tournament hosted by Grantsburg this past weekend and to say they dominated would be an understatement.

Speaking with several people (fans/family of players) during the tournament I asked if they thought the team could be beat. The common response was a pause and then some variation of "no". The only thing that seemingly stands in the way of the Pirates and a return trip to the Resch Center in Green Bay would be some kind of injury to one of the starters, even then I wouldn’t count the girls out.

Tonight the Pirates take on the Luck Cardinals at home as a final tune up before heading north to Duluth for the Duluth-Marshall tournament. Hopefully the girls get some good competition during that tourney.
