The Inexact Science of Creating Lists

Someone shared a comment with us about the all-tournament team which questioned why only a single player from Kenosha Tremper was on the list. 

The person acknowledged (correctly) that it's the hardest list to create since players from eight different schools are vying for a mere six spots. Beyond that, we have zero insight (nil, nada, none) into the selection process. All we know is that it's an inexact science and always will be. 

One thing the WVCA might consider is naming more all-tournament players from D1 (eight? 12?) in future years. Just a thought.

In any event, volleyball is the ultimate team sport. No one wins a state championship, a trip to the Resch or even a single match without the other five on the court plus however many more are on the bench, even if none of those players ever get individual recognition. 

That, in our opinion, is inarguable.
