Twenty-two plus years of close observation of MVB provides corporate memory of remote and recent players and teams. Nothing comes down on stone tablets.
It far too soon to make far-reaching observations of the team, after watching the two scrimmages and three PlayDay games today.
The word that arises is balance. There is strength up the middle, a pair of libero equivalents in Gigi and Maggie, dynamic setting, and improvement in serve and serve receive. Those are observations not exaggerations.
Alex Homan has the edge at the third defender spot now, with both defense and setting skills. With her in the back, "out of system" balls no longer are. She's also a consistent server. As a backup setter, she is more than capable as well.
Outside, Caroline Higonenq has improved steadily during the preseason as she gets farther out from injury. She's also a good defender and server.
Melrose played well as a team, going 5 and 0 during the PlayDay.
The hay is almost in the regular season barn.
