They are stronger and Faster! [/quote] I don't think you know anything about volleyball or this district. HF will finish in the top three but not because they are stronger and faster. And being fast has nothing to do with volleyball. Quickness and agility do but not fast. Orangefield graduated almost everyone. Silsbee graduated a lot. HJ graduated a lot of important people. It should involve Bridge City and HF for the district with maybe HJ sneaking in. For you to to say this is HF's year implies that they have never been good. They have been good for a very long time. Don't speak when you don't know. [/quote] Last time I checked stronger allowed you to jump higher and be more powerful, fast and quickness are pretty synonymous. You are being ticky tacky. HF is always competitive in volleyball in this district. I think their hard work in the weight room will put them in first place this year. We have alot of returning experience as well. Sorry OF graduated so much, but that is why I love high school and college because it can change every year. [/quote] Fast and quick are not synonymous. I have seen many people who were fast but not quick and vice versa. So HF has had a very good program for decades but next year they will be good because of the weight room. HF is not losing anyone that cannot be replaced and they have a good staff at teaching the skills of volleyball. That is why they make the playoffs all the time and that is why they will make it again next year. Not because of weight room. Can a weight room help? Sure. But does it matter how much you lift if you cannot pass, set, spike, or serve? Lifting is secondary to acquiring the skills to play any sport. All football teams lift a lot of weights, but I have seen many without the skill/coaching to compete against other teams. HF volleyball will probably finish 2nd to BC.
