Is there a NorCal Boy’s volleyball blog with more information on high school BVB?

Eastbay Funk, no offense taken.
Questioning things leads to discussion. I don’t mind.

@ Molten: You are correct-most of the “facts” I found were from Maxpreps, with some bits from other local/net write ups. Obviously, I’m not a reporter. The other obvious thing is that sarcastic remarks don’t translate well here.
Matt-I really do appreciate your efforts to spread the word on boys vollleyball. So thank you 1st of all. And 2nd, I apologize to you(and anyone else I offended) for sounding like a jackass who was ripping your info.

In regards to Eastbay Funk’s post, a lot of schools don’t record their wins/losses on Maxpreps. I think you based your so-called “facts” straight from Maxpreps. Just because you see so many L’s doesn’t mean it’s their overall record. Factually speaking, Redwood alone has more than 3 wins off of the Davis Tournament and also in league matches.

Foothill will be back in the rankings, and will be so very quickly.
Sneaking past American in five and then two straight three-game defeats is cause for alarm, but I think they’ll be back.
In fact, if I don’t get Moreau’s results from the Drake Tournament soon, I will be dropping the Mariners out.

Sorry to hear about coach Salini. May he rest in peace.

re: Xfactor, I was thinking the same thing. Foothill was ranked #4 in the preseason rankings and have now dropped out completely? With Dusty at the helm, I’m sure they have something up their sleeve over there and will be in the mix.

Kennedy beat the same Redwood team that beat Las Lomas, and I have Las Lomas ranked.
Maybe neither one of them should be, but if I have Las Lomas ranked, Kennedy has to be ranked for now.

So how many times has the Kennedy High AD taken you to dinner Matt? #12 ranking…wow. I understand that a 6-0 record looks awesome…until you do some journalistic fact checking and find out that those 6 teams they beat have a combined record of 3-20. DOH!!
