Summer's Ending, Time for Volleyball
So I took the summer away from the blog thing; needed a break. But now I'm well-rested, been watching and paying attention to summer volleyball, and I am excited to present The Captain's 25 for each division in Ohio H.S. volleyball. My rankings always bring out the best in people who think they know everything so hopefully now that they will be posted first every week exclusively on my blog, I look forward to reading comments from you faithful and opinionated Ohio high school volleyball fans!
