Volleyball shouldn’t be played on Fridays

Are you crazy...the local volleyball teams don't do well in the playoffs? They do very well. Go and look at the UIL website and look at the playoffs for local teams 1A-4A. A lot more winning than one and done going on there.

Vball is not popular in the golden triangle due to the fact that the golden triangle teams dont do very well in the playoffs. Im thinking the fooball games should be played at 5pm and then the volleyball game can be played at 8pm.

I think he is talking just about PA and Beaumont schools because outside of that the VB programs are very good...... :o :o :o :o :o :o

True, year in and year out, volleyball teams are advancing at the very least to the Regional Semis. Enough success to generate interest.

The UIL didnt have last year's bracket posted but I got some results from the 08 season. Evadale, Kirbyville, Woodville, LCM, Ozen, and Nederland were all eliminated in their first match. West Hardin, Kountze, Orangefield, and PNG won 1 match and Ofield also received a bye. Hardin (not even a golden triangle team really) and Ham Fannett each won 3 playoff matches. No GT 5A team made the playoffs. So, the cumulative record was 10 wins, 12 losses in the playoffs.

Look beyond 2008 and see. You didn't have Silsbee on there...how did they do? 10-12 is not all bad in my opinion. In 4A you are almost guaranteed a loss when your 4th place school plays a 1st place school. LCM also got upset big time by Dayton that year.

In 2008, Silsbee lost in the Area round in 5 games.
