    i dont know exactly how long its been, it seems like 25 years hardin has been winning at volleyball and i can't wrap my head around it when they get destroyed in all other sports

    I wouldn't say "destroyed."  Hardin's girls basketball has had some playoff basketball teams and same in softball. Matter of fact, Hardin won district in softball last year. 

    Hardin Baseball made playoffs a few years ago but ran into a buzzsaw of a pitcher, Grayson Rodriguez of Central Heights.  Rodriguez was drafted high in the MLB draft after the season.  

    But yeah, Hardin volleyball has been rolling for a long time and it's due to the Snells.

    so you're telling me that 3 or 4 girls from hardin play travel ball ?  and where did liberty come into play ?  liberty hasn't won a playoff volleyball game as long as i have been paying attention.  i'm talking about hardin, who is 3a and has one of the worst athletic resume's of any team in 3a in all of texas, but yet they win in VOLLEYBALL every year.  Why?  dont tell me athleticism because you cant get more unathletic than hardin.  dont tell me coaching because they start winning in 7th grade and never stop winning.  yes, i'm bitter about it.  i want to know how 

    Well, if Hardin is unathletic, then it must be the coaching.  If it's not the coaching, then Hardin must be more athletic than you assume.  Both can't be bad at the same time, unless you say that somehow Hardin must be cheating. 

    Hardin has a very good program.  Their head coach is fully invested at all levels, including junior high to the point where she is even there during the JH athletic periods.  Not all HS coaches do that so it speaks to Hardin's success.

    From what I’ve seen the schools in the hill country and Austin area are on a comply different level than the schools in the area. 

    Because they play club ball in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, etc. The schools that do well are really close to those metropolitan areas and play on some good club teams.  Sometimes, club teammates will recruit each other to play for their school, which isn't exactly fair but that's life. 

    Hardin & Liberty have a couple or three that play club and they are good, but they don't play/practice in Houston against bigger teams.  Of course, they play big tournaments in Houston, San Antonio, etc and they do decently but never manage to do better than top 5-8.  One team with local players did finish 3rd at the DFW International in Plano.

    How was Stephenville compared to Huffman?

    We played Huffman pretty well in the Dayton/YMBL tournaments even though we lost in 3 both times.  Scores were very close as well.

    It was really early in the season when we played Stephenville at the Wimberley Tournament so my memory may be a bit off but I seem to remember that they had size (taller than Huffman) and one middle was really good.  Good blockers too, I think. Stephenville took Hardin down in 2 games. Scores were in the 25-16/17 range, I believe.

    Buna made it to the fifth round of playoffs last year, almost making the final four in 3A.  

    The Houston teams usually fare better because they play equal (or near equal) talent on their preseason schedule in tournaments, etc. The GT teams do well but it's harder to find equal talent to play in the preseason because of how spread out the teams are; that and the fact the GT teams that make it to the playoffs are usually small school teams, while the Houston teams are the big schools like Deer Park, Pearland, etc. 

    Talent has a lot to do with it and having that same talent filling all the positions.  There was a Houston team (CE King) that had the best field defense I've seen in a while but they lacked a pitcher.  They had a third baseman that was really good (going to OU, I think) and if they had a decent pitcher, they would be a playoff team.

    Thank you for the information, now what is you opinion?

    I like it.  It's not bad.  Not the best design but definitely not the worst.  I like the idea of the wolf pack mentality though which is what I think it's going for.

    I wouldn't have gone with the brown/yellow color theme though even if it seems to be based on the Wyoming Cowboys color scheme.  I think grey/black/white would have been more wolf-like.
