Journal Covers Area Teams
The Journal is running a story “Storm Could Be Tough To Beat” in today’s edition (page D4). The metro-area teams do have a lot of talent and Cleveland is no doubt stacked, but I think La Cueva will be much stronger than they’re given credit for. With all the reps Warren/Torr have had over the summer, the Bears are going to hit the ground running.
Nice coverage of 4A St. Pius. Their biggest challenger is obviously Artesia, who lost only one player to graduation and is probably one of the deepest teams in the state, regardless of classification. Lead by Weber, the Sartan front line has some quality players in Roveto and Biondi as well.
The “Seven Players to Watch” they picked is pretty comprehensive, but a glaring omission is Cleveland setter Jordan Bruere at setter (I know, there is only so much space). There are also a plethora of quality DS and liberos in the metro area. Are there other quality players you think were omitted? Comment below!
