It was a good game but RSS blew it.....I think this pretty much eliminates them from playoff contention.

GCM made almost every play and Kotlarz was huge. First time I've seen her drop the hammer like that.

Happy for GCM.  They are have hardworking core in Herrera, Martinez and Kotlarz.  However, there is no reason RSS should have dropped two games to them this season.  Kotlarz might be the best player in this area, including BH, but RSS had overall more talent to work with than GCM.  I think it just goes to show that, especially in HS sports, coaching and schemes can overcome a deficits in talent and depth.

Sterling and GCM's performance this season were surprising, for opposite reasons.  I think Sterling's season could only be described as disappointing.  Any opinions on what went wrong for the Rangers?

Two thoughts: 

1. Sterling lost some close 5 set matches, where if they had won that 5th set they are in the playoffs. But that is the beauty of volleyball. 

2. Sterling is in a much more competitive volleyball district than they have been accustomed to when they were in 6a. One could argue that 22-5a is one of the toughest districts across the state. If you remember last year FW, SF, TC, GCM, and Crosby won thirty plus games. Now obviously you lose Crosby to 21-5a but you add the likes of Sterling, LP, and Manvel and that is a tough district where every game counts.

Understood about the district they entered this year.  I didn't expect them to compete for 1st or 2nd has FW and Manvel were favorites for those positions. Even 3rd would have been a stretch to beat out a team like Texas City, but I did fully expect them to compete closely for 4th; especially seeing how Santa Fe and La Porte looked compared to last season.  I just thought Sterling returned with too much talent to not make a serious push for a bottom half playoff spot.  The two losses to GCM and subsequent loss to LP were just very surprising to me.

That being said, I think a team like GCM played above their overall talent level (obviously the core three are very good) to win almost all the games they should have (the loss to Lee was nearly derailing) and IMO stealing two from Sterling.  In the end, GCM did what was needed to advance and Sterling did not.

    • Yeah, I got that but talk about a stretch. It should seem obvious that Trump’s prosecution is purely political. If someone is going to do a whataboutism, at least make it similar.  This is so ludicrous that it’s like comparing a ham sandwich to a wallet.   
    • You consistently try to say Trump ran our debt up and that the stock market and job market cratered during his administration (along with other MSNBC talking points). That is a flat out LIE, and you know it. Not only are you telling a mistruth, you knowingly are telling a mistruth...which is a blatant LIE...which makes you a "(I don't remember what word you used to describe Trump, something like a purse for dirt)" does it not? You know for a fact that the economy, stock market, and job market was thriving under Trump. You know that the Democrats controlled the house, and proposed a budget that would hurt the economy, in which he shut down the government. Even after this fiasco brought on by Democrats, our economy flourished under his administration. Then Covid19 hit, and the blue states shut down the country. YOU KNOW THIS, but continue to blame Trump. You lie...blatantly. Again, what do we call these people that partake in disseminating misleading information. You coined it...that purse thing. Does the shoe fit? I bet it does. It is amazing that you try to put "MAGA people" into this little box for the soul purpose of allowing all negative attributes of anyone that will vote for Trump instead of Biden to be attributed. That is a sickening modus operandi of stupid people. It is hard for me to believe that you would adopt that childish stereotyping. But since you are willing, I'm willing to push back. I'm a Trump supporter. I will gladly vote for him over Biden. So get busy putting me in your silly little box of stereotypes so I can embarrass you some more. You've been shot down by practically everyone on this board when you say stuff like Trump is their Messiah, or that supporters overlook his flaws. Everyone on this board has stated that they don't agree with Trump on much of his behavior, but you ignore these statements and continue with your lies. Oh yeah, since I'm a Trump supporter, those comments were also directed directly at me. So let's go. Prove I'm a simpleton that will ignore all of Trump's flaws and vow to disown the bad ol' orangeman. Let's continue that diatribe you peddle. I now am interested in responding. I also have boxes I can place people in. Whose box is accurate? Better yet, whose box is more embarrassing? I'm fairly certain your box is more entertaining for the board to make fun of. TDS should be included in the DSM-6, or revise the DSM-5 to include it since this phenomenon is so pervasive now. You are a walking, talking picture of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Do you like that box? Can you refute the rationale for placing you in that box. Everyone can refute your rationale for placing them into your irrational box, while you languish in your TDS box.
    • Clinton got impeached because of it. David Pecker said it was true about Stormy today. Under oath.
    • Election interference. Cheating.
    • It’s not about worrying about Trump’s morality. It’s about him being held to a totally hypocritical standard that is applied to anybody else that’s not him. Double it if it happens to be a Democrat. What he did to Ted Cruz in 2016, for example. Accused him of extramarital affairs. Really? And the gang cheered the Master on. Sick is what it is.
