The All-Metro volleyball team was released in today’s Wichita Eagle. You can check it out here.

Picking this team is no joke because, just like softball, there’s a ridiculous number of outstanding players in the Wichita area. But there’s room for seven players and one coach, not an easy decision. I made these decisions based on what they did this season, based on what I saw, based on what coaches told me, based on what officials told me.

Feel free to disagree with my choices, but please do not dog the athletes.

    Congrats to all the girls, saw most of them play this year and very deserving.

    If we are talking basketball, Woods is a great athlete but one dimensional on the smaller court.
    By the way…

    I find it intereting that two Valley Center kids made All Metro and did not qualify for State. Rest of team must have been below average.
    Mazie made it to State and only one kid made All Metro???????

  • genegin

    Yea, but that one kid is a pretty good player.don’t think anyone else on that team deserve an honor like this. Sometimes the ball just doesn’t bounce your way. Plus I think you meant Maize South.

    Great Group of Girls who were all deserving! They are picked for their individual skills so it has nothing to do with their team making it to state or not.
    I would hate for you to talk to their face and tell them they are not deserving. They are kids after all and I’m assuming you are an adult, Mitzie.

  • mitzie

    The point is, this type of award is very subjective and for you to believe NO other player was deserving is a joke WackyJack

    Mitzie, you are not all there! I read the wacky jack posting and nowhere did I see that person say no one else was deserving?! You must be a parent tryin to live thru your kid, otherwise you would be happy for the accomplishments of these players. There are a number of player I assume that many were considered for this team, but were not selected. Oh well, is it the end of life? No! If ur kid is a competitor, this should motivate them to work harder. But judging by ur post, its more about you and ur ego than it is about the players coming up. In short, get a life.
