Milwaukee Marquette defeated West Allis Hale in three. Pius XI and Waukesha North were the other sectional semifinalists.
2009 RANDOM NOTES
- Milwaukee Marquette Last year's state champs graduated nine in 2009--and they're still nicely positioned to repeat as state champions. Four seniors return: setter Peter Heinen (611 assists in 2008), middle/opposite Jack Hauser (.504 hitting percentage in 2008), outside Trevor Metz (43 kills in 2008) and opposite Matt Machi (99 kills in 2008). Also on last year's roster were junior libero Tyler Jerominski (122 digs in 2008) and sophomore setter Michael Schneck (239 assists in 2008). Others who might contribute include junior outside Sean Foley and sophomore Peter Hutz. And yes, we're sure we're missing some who had fantastic club seasons and could make a contribution. Let's just say head coach Eric Sullivan will plenty of options.
- Pius XI The Popes graduated four players who were Classic Eight all-conference honorees at one level or another, including first-teamer Dave Maternowski. Beyond that, we don't have any information about last year's No. 2 seed in this sectional. We'll add info to this preview if and when we get it.
- Waukesha North Coach Nick Maske returns two honorable mention Classic Eight all-conference honorees in seniors Aaron Gendrich and Ben Leech.
- Waukesha South The Blackshirts will likely count on honorable mention Classic Eight all-conference senior Zach Boehmke. They'll also expect a big block from senior Robert Grubb.
- West Allis Central The Bulldogs graduated 11 players from their 2008 roster, but return talented junior Luke Towler.
- West Allis Hale Senior libero Dylan Hardwick and setter Taylor Chladeck will be two players to watch for the Huskies.
OUR PREDICTION
Milwaukee Marquette over West Allis Hale in three.
