Were going to Jungle Queen to see some southern competition, my team and I are beyond eager to play with some of you guys. I personally am still sad( as i said before) that Spanish River won't be there, but meh maybe fate will have us meet.

Everyone has their good and bad days. Columbus most of had a bad day in theGirl's R UStournament. They have 3 players that played for Florida Sons last year. they are all pretty well rounded players. They have been playing together for 4 years. Columbus is definately in the top 5 in Miami. with killian obviously being #1 even though they have a fairly easy schedule.

Hey Greg,
Simple answer to your question is travel costs.
Boy's voleyball is not played in Lakeland because the closest place that plays boy's vball is Orlando.
2/3 of the teams are from Palm Beach, Broward & Dade counties.
8 teams advance out of Regionals each year to the state tourney.
2 are from Orlando the rest from south Florida.
The FHSAA admiistrator for boy's volleyball (Tamara Forrester) has been pretty good about moving the event around and keeping it where boy's vball is played.
FHSAA typical bids out the state championships to different locales. Basketball, girls volleyball etc has enough fan support to make it profitable for a local sports commission or chamber of commerce to bring it to their area.
Boy's volleyball with only 8 teams is not that profitable. Girl's volleyball brings 24 teams to Lakeland for a 4 day event.
Hope this helps but I am also not an authority on the decision making done by FHSAA.
Dave

North Florida has just recently started to field teams.
Volusia (Daytona) was a hotbed for boy's volleyball back in the 90s when it was played in the fall. If I remember correctly they dropped boy's vball when it went to the spring season same for111eola.
Florida Air & Melbourne CC have had teams out of Brevard. Florida Air still plays but the MCC team status is unknown.
Spruce Creek, Deltona, Flagler Palm Coast & Bolles have just recently started teams in the last 3 to 5 years.
Tallahasse Chiles had a team last year or the year before but its status is now unknown.
Boy's vball was going very quickly but the momentum seems to have died a bit with Boy's Lacrosse now a spring sport.

Who said it was Cypress Creek. I heard it was going to Ft. Lauderdale. Shouldn't it be posted by now???
-MCC status is that it was disbaned because the coach was too busy with girls club and she needed to keep her sainity. I love coach Priester!
