Possibly but they’re losing a couple of their top players from last year. Their coach is great though and has really turned the program around there. She was my older daughter’s club coach years ago. Her daughter will be a junior next year and is a great setter/RS for them. 
I think Splendora was a solid 4A program. Not sure how they’ll do moving up. 
I think a lot of the 5A districts got weaker with teams moving up to 6A. Friendswood has no competition in district now that Manvel is gone. BH’s district got even easier for them, not that they had much competition before.

Splendora was average to above average in 4A… I don’t think they will do well in 5A

I’m so glad we don’t have to drive over an hour to half of our district games anymore!

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Had not seen the updated numbers.  Co-MVP was 9 which is interesting. 

We all think we know who the best players were. Wonder if they’re the same? Lol
GCM going up to 6A is interesting. All their programs are going to struggle. Their middle is great and I’m not hating on her getting offensive. Of course I wish our program was better so my kid could be considered but it is what it is. She did all she could with the team she was on.

Agreed.  The district's top awards didn't make sense, but neither did the team selections.  My gripe about the OPOY going to GCM is that they also had the Setter of the Year and Coach of the Year.  If you have the top two offensive awards and coach of the year, you shouldn't have to have a play-in game for 3rd/4th, you would expect a team with those attributes to be markedly better.  Honestly, anyone who watched all these teams knows who had the top offensive and defensive players and which had the top coach.  Congratulations to GCM, though, but if the snapshot numbers in the Football forum are valid, these could be the last big volleyball awards they see for a while.

I think the RS from BH was the best RS in the district and could have gotten Newcomer.

I agree with what you’re saying about choosing the 1st team and then picking the superlatives from that. The thing is they wouldn’t get the superlatives they did if they did that. Everyone who watched this district knows exactly who the best at each of those positions were this season. Probably going to ruffle some feathers but it’s the truth. 
Give MVP and coach of the year to the top team. The rest should be based on actual individual performances not their team’s record. Then this all looks a lot different is all I’m saying.

Crosby only got 3 🤣 So glad this stupid season is over.
Kate Valt 1st team
Maya Grace and Kailey Adair 2nd team

Yes. They have almost 3000 kids now. 😳
That was a good game against Fulshear. Fulshear just had more firepower. Never a lull in their offense like BH had and their defense wasn’t letting anything drop. Congrats BH on a good run!

Yep, Fulshear was a 6A, almost right after the last realignment.  The most significant difference between the two offenses was that Fulshear was full steam ahead on swinging away; there was too much firepower from their outside hitters.  Difficult for BH's defense to pick up all those missiles being fired at them.  Overall, BH had a great run and beat outstanding teams in Foster, Friendswood, and College Station; not a bad showing.

Well a couple put up a fight, the rest just wanted to get to the homecoming game. It is what it is.
PNG still has a chance of sneaking into that 4th spot.

Oh well. Maybe PNG can get it 🤦‍♀️

That math ain’t mathing. GCM has some tough games left.  And “could” end up 7-7.  Maybe some sickness could cause some turnover on teams like last year.  “Cough Cough”. I don’t hope that happens to any of them and hope all teams end up healthy and ready to represent the district come playoff time.   Crosby is a still a dangerous team and they still could end up 7-7.  PNG is still in it until they aren’t.  Just saying. I’m not saying this won’t be the four but there is still some volleyball left.   

I think the 4th spot is still up for grabs. 

Let's not act like Willis hasn't been a successful head coach...we are talking about a guy who had a career record of 113-62 going into the year...he's been a head coach of a state champion and an state runner-up...he's got a strong track record...
Timing has to be considered as well...Willis was hired May 18..you start getting into May and the candidate pool is going to be quite limited...
I dont think any head coach hired could be fairly judged on what happens this year at Crosby because of the late hire, coaching staff almost 100% turned over and a team that already was a little down talent wise...The absolute worst thing Crosby can do now is make another coaching change at the end of the season IMO

Could happen seeing as how all our games against those 4 were winnable. We were up late in most of them but unfortunately our coach doesn’t know how to make the proper adjustments needed so here we are in 6th. There, I said it as nice as I could. Lol  At this point the girls are done with this lady so I doubt we’ll be upsetting anyone.  

BH wins easily. 

0-5 in district now. I have no words. 🙄 Actually, that’s a lie. I have lots to say but I’ll just keep it to myself.

Congratulations to coach Susan Brewer of Bellville High School notching her 1200th career win tonight. A outstanding accomplishment especially since she started her run in Bellville and never left.

Volleyball season is here at last! Two a days get kicked off tomorrow! Best of luck to everyone’s teams and spread the word about this message board… would love to see some more interaction and score reporting on here.

Division 5A – District 17
Barbers Hill
Barbers Hill from Mt. Belvieu were dominant in the district last season, finishing in first place with 13 wins and just one loss, and made a solid playoff run, stopping only in the regional quarterfinals. The Lady Eagles lost their two main scorers from last season, middle Avery Wilks and outside hitter Jacie Meredith, who graduated, but still have more than enough senior talent to be a force in the division again with setter Peyton Fadal This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  calling the shots, middles Chloe Morgan This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  and Asia Menard This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  dominating the net, right site Peyton Spahn This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  scoring points, pin hitters Malia Martinez and Aemilie Broussard getting the job done and libero Mia Rivers This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  handling the backcourt duties.
Crosby
Crosby made it to the playoffs last season after they got fourth place in the district with a campaign of eight wins and six losses, but couldn’t get past the bi-district round. The team will certainly miss the absence of the graduating Ashley Anderson (setter), Victoria Grace (middle), Carli Brogan (libero) and Shyla White (outside hitter), but there’s still some interesting talent in the Lady Cougars roster, most notably with junior outside hitter Kate Valt This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  , sophomore middle blocker/right side Kylie Green, senior setter Bell Land and senior middle blocker Emma Hattaway.
Goose Creek Memorial
Goose Creek Memorial from Baytown ended up missing the playoffs last season as their district campaign of six wins and eight losses was only good enough to get them in fifth place. Graduation has taken two key pieces from last year’s team in setter Rylee Buchanan and middle blocker Christian Stringer, but the Patriots still have one of the best players in the district in junior middle Sanaa Donaie , who recently committed to Louisiana State. Other key players for Goose Creek Memorial will be senior middle Shyla Houston, senior outside hitter Aracely Nunez and senior libero Carmen Cervantes.
Lee
With just two wins in 14 matches and a seventh-place finish last season, Baytown Lee will be looking to improve in 2023. The good news for the Lady Ganders is that outside of setter Kandace Waller, no other major contributors from their last campaign graduated. Two of the team’s standouts last season, junior middle blocker Christian Duncan and senior outside hitter Makenzy Moore will have the responsibility of leading Lee to a better season this time.
Nederland
Nederland battled at the top of the district last season, ranking third with 11 victories and just three defeats and handing Barbers Hills their only upset – their postseason run didn’t last long, though, ending in the bi-district round. The Lady Dogs will have a lot of work to do if they want to remain among the best after the team’s three All-District First-Team selections – setter Audrey Johnson, middle Ava Whitehead and libero Ava Wiltz – all graduated. Leading Nederland this season will be senior outside hitter Kamryn Smith, junior outside hitter Naysa Arnold, junior libero Uriah Buckley and junior middle blocker Ava Patrizi This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  .
Port Arthur Memorial
After a winless campaign of 14 losses last season, Port Arthur Memorial can only go up this year. Some important seniors are no longer with the team, such as Ava Williams, Charnel Jones, Jariyah Botley and Lily Pham. Junior setter Amisti Ford, senior libero Dekarra Anderson, senior outside hitter Rayven Martin and junior middle Gin’Nyah Robertson should be a big part of the team in 2023.
Port Neches-Groves
Port Neches-Groves had good moments last season, but still didn’t do well enough to make it to the postseason, finishing district play in sixth place with four victories and nine losses. Much of the squad will be back to try and improve this time around, with the most significant change happening at setter, where Payton Metts graduated. The core of the team should have junior right side Blakely Burks joining seniors Addison Bost (outside hitter), Karleigh Gil (outside hitter), Allie Wright (libero), Kennedy McGlory (middle) and Mallori Moreno (middle).
Sterling
Sterling from Baytown was the second-best team in the district last season with 11 wins and three losses and won one playoff match before going down in the area round. There will be significant departures for the team to deal with as setter Ashley Aguilar and middle blocker Tanishua Joseph both graduating, but the Rangers will be ready to compete again. The team will get a lot of stability from their senior core of libero Briana Galvan and outside hitters Katy Barger This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  and Bailee Payne and there are other seniors who could give the next step, such as outside hitter Briana Bentancourth and setter Kennedy Birdsell.
