They didn't and don't throw alot. They ran, ran ran.

In any Classification?

Possible. WO-S didn't show everything in their scrimmages last year. I'm sure some teams don't let everything out of the hat before week 0.

Most Schools choose to do 4 quarter game scrimmage now days, now alot of teams will NOT show everything in a scrimmage before the real games.

Kirbyville 36-28

Rule changes boost volleyball excitement By Dave Rogers Published August 8, 2009 A rule change this year that allows a high school volleyball coach to stand up and walk to the far end of the team bench while a point is in progress is a testament to the growing popularity of the sport. The National Federation of High Schools says crowd noise is becoming a problem and the change is required to aid communication between a coach and a team’s players on court. The game has certainly changed, both former players and longtime coaches agree. “They used to play to 15 points and you had to earn your points when you served,†noted Gloria Epperson, who was at Lee High School Friday to watch her daughter Jenny Epperson play in a scrimmage. She was referring, of course, to the high schools’ change to “rally†scoring in 2004, in which teams play to 25 points in a game, but they’re able to score both while serving and returning serve. It was a move that put high schools in line with what was going on at the Olympic and collegiate levels. “The game is a lot better, a lot faster paced,†Lee coach Alicia Nava said. “But it has to change with the times. It’s a lot more marketable now.†Prior to 2004, only the serving team could score a point. In that game, a match win required winning just two of three games. With rally scoring, a team must win three of five games to take the match. Even though more points must be scored, the games are generally shorter because each serve results in a point. “Thank goodness it goes quicker. It used to drag on and on and on,†said Angela Crenshaw, a former player at Deer Park who is the mother of Sterling’s Lacey Crenshaw, who was scrimmaging Friday at Winnie Brown Gymnasium at Sterling. “Now you’re fighting for every point, no matter who serves. It does make it more competitive when you know no matter which team serves, you can score a point. “It definitely gives you a lot of inspiration not to let it hit the floor.†Other rule changes that have impacted the sport involve the positioning of the players and the way they can hit the ball. “When I played, you were in a specific position and had to stay there throughout the point,†Crenshaw said. “Wherever you rotated to, you filled that position. “And now they can hit the ball with the backside of their hand. We used to not be able to do that. It seems like you can hit it any way you want.†A rule change for this year says a player can legally touch a ball with any part of her body. This means kicking the ball over the net could be legal, as one player tried Friday at Lee. The biggest result of the change in the hitting rules has been to make it harder for the hitting team to get the ball on the floor and easier for the defending team to keep the ball in play. Bodies fly all over the court in a typical match these days. “They’re trying to make the game a little more exciting,†Sterling coach Nadine Horne said. According to the people in the gyms Friday, they’ve succeeded.

Lady Cats expecting another big season Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — Orangefield volleyball coach Kristen Holbrooks has had the date 11-21-09 in her mind for a while. She even has it as her signature for her text messages. Holbrooks knows it will take a lot for the Lady Bobcats to keep playing until Nov. 21 but there is no reason to not expect a trip to the state tournament. “You should always want to be the best,†Holbrooks said. “It is not show-boating but I want us to achieve the best. I saw the tournament date and I wanted to get it into everyone’s heads.†The Lady Bobcats were busy this past week preparing for the upcoming season and Holbrooks knows this year could be another banner year for Orangefield. “Volleyball was always quiet in Orangefield,†Holbrooks said. “Our girls are learning every day. They want to be like Bridge City, Silsbee and Hamshire-Fannett who are known for making the playoffs on a yearly basis.†The Lady Bobcats are certainly set up for it this year after placing third last year in District 21-3A. Orangefield has a group of powerful hitters and a solid back row gives the Lady Bobcats a very capable defense. The Lady Bobcats are going to be without Morgan Taylor, who was their libero last season. Taylor is out for the season with a knee injury. “It was a major concern going in on who would replace her,†Holbrooks said. “Both Kasidy Hayes and Hayley Cole have shown great improvements. It has been phenomenal.†Senior Aimee Scales is back and knows the Orangefield system inside and out. Scales has watched the Orangefield volleyball program grow from something the girls did until basketball started to now wanting to win in both sports on equal footing. “This is serious now,†Scales said. “It is more than a game to us now. We are hoping to make it further than we did last year. I think if we put it all together, we can do it.†Scales has been around the varsity teams ever since she was a freshman. Now as a senior, she is looking to become more of a leader. “When I was a freshman I was scared to death,†Scales said. “Now I look up and ask where it all went. You have to improve each year or at least try to get better. Last year I did not talk too much but this year it has come a lot easier. It is my turn to be the leader so I might as well step up.†Holbrooks knows the Lady Bobcats will have a tough road in District 21-3A. Teams like Bridge City, Hardin-Jefferson, Silsbee and Hamshire-Fannett will make it hard for Orangefield to return to the playoffs. “Bridge City looks much stronger than last year and Hamshire-Fannett is always a great program,†Holbrooks said. “There is no doubt Silsbee will be good and Hardin-Jefferson is always a good team. I saw West Orange in summer league and they look better than I have ever seen them. 3A volleyball in our area will turn some heads. We have to concentrate on one game at a time.â€

Deweyville football tuning in well Van Wade The Orange Leader DEWEYVILLE — It’s going to be a highly-competitive District 23-2A race again this year and the Deweyville Pirates are looking to be right in the mix. There will be no surprises in the Deweyville camp this year. Last season, the Pirates were picking up new schemes from first-year head coach Russell McDaniel. The Pirates went on to post a 4-5 overall mark, 2-4 in 23-2A. This season, it’s all by rehashing what they learned last year and re-tooling certain areas as McDaniel will lead the Pirates on the field for his second year. “It’s been really hot, but the kids have been working hard,†said McDaniel Friday. “Those first few days are tough, alot of conditioning and all. It was great to put on the pads and watch them hit a little bit today.†The Pirates return five starters on offense and five on defense. Key veterans include running back Keeton Addison (850 yards and nine TDs in 2008) along with linemen Channing O’Bannion, Eddie Barlow and Zach Trahan and also new quarterback Michael Williams, linebacker Jacob Burris and defensive back Eric Avila. “The kids pretty much have our system down pat,†said McDaniel. “The older kids are doing really well and we’re counting on their leadership to help out the younger ones. So far, they’ve been doing a good job.†The Pirates remain as the smallest school enrollment-wise in 23-2A but they plan to battle hard once again in a rugged loop. “If we can stay healthy, we can compete with anybody,†said McDaniel. “We do worry about depth. We’ve got three offensive lineman prospects that have went down already.†The Pirates have two scrimmages set up. They will take on Kirbyville and the Silsbee JV Aug. 15 at Silsbee High School and will visit an always gritty Hull-Daisetta unit Aug. 20. “We’ve got a couple nice scrimmages set up and we’ll go from there,†said McDaniel. “We’ve got plenty of time to evaluate the kids before Sabine Pass comes to our place.†The Pirates will open the regular season Aug. 28 at home against the Sabine Pass Sharks.

Hasn't one of the Parr brothers had some legal issues? I thought he graduated already, but I think I remember him being a sophomore when we played them. Same kid.

Yep. They may be recruiting.

I hear that's ugly.

I agree!
