Forget for a Moment the Imminent Start of the Rose Bowl to Sample Our Fourth Annual New Years Day State Volleyball Predictions

Happy New Year, everyone. Despite our somewhat embarrassing 2 of 5 showing in 2010, our January 1 predictions remain 9 of 14 lifetime (2008, 2009, 2010). So without further ado, here goes nothing.
  • Division 1: Pius XI
  • Division 2: Green Bay Notre Dame
  • Division 3: Racine St. Catherine's
  • Division 4: Burlington Catholic Central
  • Boys: Milwaukee Marquette
Please keep in mind this is JUST FOR FUN and barely even an EDUCATED GUESS (how can it be otherwise?). There were, of course, a number of schools that almost made got the New Year's nod (e.g. Burlington, Catholic Memorial and McDonell Central, to name just three). Also, after looking over our predictions, we should share that the Vatican had absolutely zero influence on these picks.

Feel free to leave your five state championship predictions as a comment but please do NOT add any editorial commentary about either the teams you chose or the ones you didn't. Thanks and good luck to everyone in 2011.

P.S. Time to beat the TCU Horned Frogs on the gridiron, eh?

d1: sort of a homer pick, kaukauna. going to realy depend if they can find an adequate replacement for friemuth, who i felt was the best setter in d1 at state last year. burlington will be back as well, but they also have to replace their setter.

d2: until they lose to a team in their division, just going to expect catholic memorial to reload.

d3: toss up between racine st. catherines and wisconsin heights, ill go with st. cats for sort of the same reason as CM

d4: catholic central, and it probably wont be close- numerous top teams (mcdonell, highland, southwestern, C-F, VC) lost their best players, while CC returns just about everyone.
