FSSD

Actually, when my daughter was playing HS volleyball only a couple of years ago. It was generally acknowledged that the midwest had execellent high school volleyball. Maybe that has changed. "While exact state-by-state numbers aren't readily available in snippets, data shows over 470,000 girls played high school volleyball in the US in 2022-23, making it incredibly popular, second only to outdoor track, with states like California, Texas, Nebraska, and Minnesota leading in overall participation and competitiveness." https://renathletics.com/blogs/news/the-best-states-for-volleyball?srsltid=AfmBOopcvV8k3-C7RW1XLyD5HJtxk2yolAuv8JZ8fljajE8rjo0oyuRu 1)CA, 2)TX, 3)NE, 4)MN, 5)IL, 6)PA, 7)WI 3,4,5 & 7 are areas UND recruits for other sports. I think a regional coach with strong connections should thive.

Here are the non MVFC school Top 16. Non MVFC 2 Montana State AA = 75.50 3 Montana AA = 68.56 4 Tarleton State AA = 66.13 8 Stephen F. Austin AA = 61.76 9 Villanova AA = 61.71 11 UC Davis AA = 60.06 13 Lehigh AA = 59.24 14 Yale AA = 58.93 16 Abilene Christian AA = 57.69

"Kalen DeBoer was a finalist for the University of North Dakota (UND) head football coaching job in December 2013, alongside Bubba Schweigert, with both working as coordinators at Southern Illinois" I do think his point still stands. DeBoer was a very strong coach within the region who in fact, defeated UND head to head. And I was at that game. It was clear UND was out coached that game. 2009 - UND 13 / USF 28 2011 - UND 15 / USF 13

Seven of the Top 15 are MVFC teams: MVFC 1 North Dakota State AA = 76.64 5 Illinois State AA = 65.22 6 North Dakota AA = 63.61 7 South Dakota State AA = 62.65 10 South Dakota AA = 60.62 12 Southern Illinois AA = 59.98 15 Youngstown State AA = 58.39

I believe that he had FBS schools looking at him in HS. But, he blew out his knee. USD was the only school to stick with him and they offer after his survey, that is why they got him in the first place.

At this point, I will take a guy who is automatic from 40 yrds and in.

As bad as the offense has played. The difference in the game... is a coaching call - Fake Punt. It should be UND 7 Tarleton 6.

Come on D, let hold them.

Come on D make a play!!

The receiver was standing out of bounds when he when up to catch the ball.. OMG

Man, the defense is playing!!!

out punt returner tackled himself.

At this point, you just have hope we win ugly.

Only our offense can lose 10 yards on a FREE play.

The defense is playing unreal right now. Plus the punter went past the line of scrimmage.

Give our kicker a few more chances.

Yes, following the script perfectly

I am at a loss for words on this offense.

This Offense can't even run out the clock.

D - travels

And the first series give us.. pass, pass, pass PUNT!

Well, we got the OVC-Big South Champions. It is Cup Cake Schedule vs Strength of Schedule.

SDSU is dangerous because they have nothing to lose. A team in that mode can be very dangerous. There is a lot of talent on the SDSU team. They can not be overlooked.

UND had better be prepared for Jack Henry and Jack Smith they may be Fr. but they are playmakers.

Well, all I can say is - let's go defense. We need a 3 and out.
