This game will follow the JV match who will be battling against Sarasota Christian's Varsity squad. On Wednesday, Bree Scarbrough and the Riverview Rams will make their way into the TeePee after a 4 year absence. On Friday and Saturday, the Indians travel up to the the best tournament in the state at Berkeley Prep. Leading the pack up there will be the defending National Champs from Louisville, KY (Mercy), Baldwin HS from Pittsburg, PA, and a team out of Atlanta , GA. The 5 remaining teams all hail from the Sunshine State; Venice, Berkeley Prep, Tampa Prep, Buccholtz,and Leon. This tournament is so demanding because all matches are 3 out of 5. It should be a challenging week of volleyball with many tests for our veteran squad.

Big weekend for Indians

The 2009 team had an excellent start to the season by starting out 3-0 with wins over Braden River, Southeast, and Riverview. We will be on the road at District foe, Manatee. Then on Friday, Leon from Tallahassee will be in town. Leon is ranked as one of the top 5A teams in the state and they also have a National ranking. It will be a great test for our team. This has become an excellent rival over the years as Leon beat us in 4 last year in Tallahassee and we beat them the year before in the TeePee. This game is a FREE event if you have a football ticket to the game that night. Match time will be 5:30 PM. You can buy your football ticket at the Volleyball game. So plan this Friday night to see a great volleyball game then head over to the 1st home Football game of the year all for the price of 1.
On Saturday, the 12th, the Indians will head up to Tampa for the Tampa Twice tournament to play in the Florida High School Showcase. This will be an awesome event as Venice will play the 12th Nationally ranked Berkeley Prep Buccaneers in the Sun Dome. Game is scheduled for 3:00. After our match, 4th ranked University of Washington will take on the 6th ranked Gators. After that, USF will take on 13th ranked University of Minnesota.
