Huge shoutout to @OliviaBoender for the strength & courage to share this. Everyone should read it. Many struggle with similar things & we all need a reminder that volleyball is just a game. Way to go Liv!

Random thought: I've been covering state tourneys since the 80s - not sure I've ever seen a student body A.) celebrate a sportsmanship award and B) join the team in a celebration on the court for runner-up trophy the way @DuchesneSports just did. Classy. #nebpreps

I know there have been some incredible individual players come through Nebraska volleyball. But, at end of the day, has there ever been a more important player than @mikaela_foecke? I don’t think there has. If she wins a third MOP of Final Four, she has to be the GOAT 🐐, right?

How good is high school volleyball in Nebraska? There are 14 former Nebraska HS standouts playing in the NCAA Division I tournament - another 24 playing in the NCAA Division II tournament and another 41 in the NAIA national tournament. #nebpreps prepdig.com/2017/11/nebraska…

Regardless how this fifth set turns out, I believe the 2018 @Huskervball will forever be remembered as the squad that’s sum furtherest exceeded the total of its individual parts of any Nebraska team in history.

summer before her senior year it looked like @HDensberger was going D2 - then coach Cook came looking for Nebraskan that worked hard, could play D & serve. She’s playing in National Championship as a freshman. Never underestimate power of always busting your butt #EmbraceTheGrind

When Mary Pollmiller transfered in to Nebraska it blocked (or slowed down) the beginning of @KellyHunter03’s ascension to starting spot. In today’s age, many lesser people would have transfered - instead she used it as fire on her way to becoming the GOAT 🐐 #EmbraceTheGrind

Sitting just outside of a team huddle (non Nebraska team) listening to coach tear team apart for solid 10 minutes. Look, I know coaching is tough, stressful and doesn’t pay well - but man. Choose words & tone carefully. Make your words valuable. You can teach w/o tearing down.

I also know tomorrow is a big day for many with club tryouts. Please take this to heart.
Club season isn’t about if you make the 1’s or 2’s.

When @sydtown14 was a senior at @PiusXtra she was best libero in state, but she willingly switched to OH because that was best for her team. She’s now one of just 2 D1 players ever to win 2 E90 award & 2x national champ as a DS. She’s definition of a Nebraska volleyball player

Championship Saturday is always so bitter sweet. It’s the pinnacle of the high school season but it also marks the end of a wonderful journey. May all the teams/athletes/coaches out there be able to reflect on 2018 with memories of good times & of relationships strengthened by 🏐

Random thought. Look at how crowded Lincoln NS is for C-1 matches. Why not play C-1 matches at PBA on Thursday with 9 a.m. matches like Friday? C-1 volleyball deserve to be on a big stage in this state #nebpreps

I have seen countless players who were on 2s or 3s teams go on to college.
So no matter what happens tomorrow, know that your future success does not depend on what team you make. It depends on what YOU do to make yourself better and how YOU react to the situation & opportunity

Last time @CarleyJo15 was on that court she was unstoppable in leading Freeman to the Class C2 title.

How big of joke is the @NCAADII volleyball tournament? @WSCWildcatVB is ranked #22 in nation & not in 64-team field. Meanwhile, Hillsdale is #25 in nation & a 2-seed in its region. Way to punish the region of the country that produces the best volleyball - thanks @NCAAVolleyball

It's more than just volleyball. When one of yours goes down and comes back to support the team less than 24 hrs after surgery.... well words can't describe the emotions. @gilylime you're a rockstar! We loved seeing you today! #here'stoafastrecovery #wearefamily #it'saprocess

Great day for women’s sports. A lot of chatter about difference in prize money for women & men in soccer World Cup, take note of this.
In volleyball, 🇺🇸 women just won $1 million for VNL title. Guess how much men’s champions will get ... yup, $1 million. Well done, FIVB 👏
GOLDEN AGAIN: #USAVwnt wins the FIVB Volleyball Nations League and $1 million top prize, rallying past Brazil 3-2 as Annie Drews scored 33 points in the final and was named MVP.
