The Never-ending saga of MCI’s volleyball season; scandals, teams composed of grown-up men and insider scoops
Does volleyball season ever end? That’s the question many MCI students are asking themselves right now. The boys’ volleyball season has just ended and it’s time for the girls’ season to start. So once again, students are hearing announcements about volleyball over the P.A. On top of that, the volleyball intramurals are gearing up.
To recap the boys’ volleyball season, the senior boys made it all the way to the West Region semi-finals, eventually losing to Silverthorn, who became the champions. Some students described the Silverthorn team as, “a team of full-grown men,.” considering the larger build of their players. The junior boys also had a successful season, booking their ticket to the West Region semi-finals with a triumph against Silverthorn.
On the fun side of volleyball, here’s some inside information on which teams to watch in the intramural season. The “Papa Pavle”, otherwise known as the “University of Wisconsin” entry, is fielding an extremely strong roster and may make it to the top tier if they end up competing at all (more on that later). The “Twirly Burlies 2” could make a strong run for it, with a star-studded roster including one of the best grade 10 athletes. Lastly, the “Tier One Dustbuckets” may be good contenders after their acquisition of a star libero and setter.
Could the Papa Pavle team be disqualified due to a ‘cheating’ scandal? Apparently, an unnamed member of the team forged signatures for each of the players, using the same pen and style of writing— making it painfully obvious that the signatures were forged. If so, that was a seriously rookie mistake.
We hope to see you at the games cheering on your school. Go MCI!
