Once again, the Grand Island high schools are producing some outstanding volleyball teams. Grand Island coach Bill Root, GINW coach Diane Rouzee and GICC coach Sharon Zavala are among the top coaches in the state.
The Islanders are following up last year's state runner-up finish with another fine season. They may not be quite as talented as last year's team, but they play hard and get the job done. The Islanders are hosting the first two rounds of the Heartland Athletic Conference Tournament on Tuesday.
Northwest is now 26-3 after winning the Central Conference Tournament on Saturday. The Vikings absolutely hammered a good Aurora team and a good Holdrege team. They beat Class B No. 1 Lincoln Pius X early this season and get another shot Tuesday, Oct. 23 when they host the Thunderbolts at GINW.
Central Catholic played what Zavala called their best volleyball of the season Saturday in winning the Utica Centennial Tournament. That included a surprisingly easy victory over Class C-1 No. 2 Centennial in the championship match. The Crusaders host Aurora on Tuesday.
If you're a volleyball fan, get out there and watch some of the best volleyball the state has to offer.
