Will the Rebels Return to Tosa? A Preview of Boys Sectional Six

CONTENDERS
Greendale, Greenfield, Heritage Christian, Racine Case, Racine Horlick, Racine Park, Racine St. Catherine's

2008 RECAP
Racine Horlick relied heavily on senior leadership in a three-set victory over Racine Case in the sectional final. Greenfield and Racine St. Catherine's were the other sectional semifinalists.

2009 RANDOM NOTES
  • Greendale You know what they say: If at first you don't succeed, google and google again. After typing in every search term imaginable, we finally tracked down the following names and information: The Panthers return junior setter Dan Grieshop, as well as fellow juniors Brandon Kozinski and Kevin Walsh to a team that "finished 2-10 in Woodland play and 4-6 in tournament play." Any additional insight would be very welcome.
  • Greenfield We haven't found anything on this team, which is a shame since they made it to the sectional semifinals last season. Sorry about that. Let us know if you have any insights.
  • Heritage Christian We know they'll be at the Trojan Invite on October 3rd. Seniors Jacob Hicks and Enrique Rodriguez played club for Southwest 17s.
  • Racine Case We don't have much on this school, either, other than the fact that head coach Kerry Timler will clearly have to replace last year's honorable mention all-state outside Trevor Weimer.
  • Racine Horlick Last year's middles, Jamil Wilson and Antwon Oliver, are now playing basketball at Oregon and Iowa State respectively. The Rebels also graduated last year's setter, but they'll still be able to turn to senior outside Dillon Martinez (103 digs and 25 aces in 2008) and junior defensive specialists Michael Goetz (87 digs in 2008) and Devon Thomas (90 digs in 2008).
  • Racine Park Senior Kevin Bebholz was second-team Southeast all-conference last season. The Panthers also have a site that lists their 2009 schedule.
  • Racine St. Catherine's They'll be at the Trojan Invite on October 3rd. Don't know much else. Would like to, but don't.
OUR PREDICTION
Racine Horlick over Racine Park in three.

Tomorrow: Boys Sectional Seven
