I think your view of "players" who don't know or care how much a club season costs seems slightly jaded. And very few girls I have met
especially at this level would purposely tank a game. A coach could not make a sub, or not rotate around on serve to protect a weak defensive player. But a
coach would have to have a really strong hold on his or her team to get them to tank a game on purpose. Not saying it can't be done but everyone at this
level wants to win

kctall60 if John Tawa has ticked you off so bad. Then why are you still posting on this forum that He has created for us. If you are so mad I suggest you
e-mail or give him a call. John has always answered all the e-mails I have ever sent to him.

If you know for a "FACT," could you please share the facts with us? It appears to me that you are basing your opinion on emotion not facts. If you know something we don't we'd for you to share it with us. I think that is what we have been asking from the Power organization since this event occurred. |

kctall60, I have absolutely nothing against you, and I say what I say with respect for you. KCNails asked the same question I asked of you, in a different way.
What do you know that we don't know? I will say that I am not sure of the facts. So, if you know "for a fact", please share the facts with us. If you don't have facts, then surely you have to allow for the possibility that this KC Power coach might have done what many eyewitnesses allege. |

Can't think of any other reason for her being in such a rush to get home after Northern Lights. She left MN two-hours after me and arrived back in KC an hour before me...and I averaged 65mph only stopping once for a 10-minute gas break....you do the math!

Okay enough already- FACT--Yes we passed up SLOW-New post and daughter while I was going a maybe a little too fast ( after-all he is old enough to drive like a
grandpa )-Yes I offered confused dad a ride while they were waiting for AAA and some left-over food. I was rushing home to read Prep
VB- I do NOT have a MAC to travel with as you 2 might?
Here is a FACT you may not know yet--  This
Sunday at 1 at HOA during adult male regionals ( Yes kids adults do play USAV volleyball too) Mavs 17-2 is playing Springfeild Juniors for the --maybe
-almost -you can never be quite sure
LAST HOA American bid to Nationals!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes you read it right because of ALL the trickle downs etc. 2 of the 4 teams tied for 5th
place regional teams will have a one match ( 2 out of 3 sets) to see which one goes to Dallas!
gnaw on that for a while! Bye for now I am headed to UCM to watch the last Spring VBall at 4:30 today! I promise not to speed this time --the Lone Jack men in Blue already got my hubby last fall !! |

...your correct C-line there are four teams that tied for 5th at regionals so a playoff is necessary to get that last American bid. Guess I didn't scroll
down enough on the HOA results site. Did only two of the four teams want to go to Nationals so that's why all four don't have to included in the
playoff? Or was it some head-to-head decision dreamed up by Hank at night after a pepperoni pizza? Don't readily see where we got another American Bid
unless some team above 5th place said No Thank-You or the Region received a Reallocation Bid.

Well right after I wrote that reply to you we got an email from our caoch and it said they do NOT have the bid YET --but they are anticipating one more --from
some where BUT anyay we will still play this sunday so that if and when the bid comes to HOA they will know who gets it. As for why only 2 of the 4 tied teams
are playing for a spot --might be because of the deadline --you had to have already sent in your request and I guess money to want to go to Nationals to even
be concidered for a bid. Does that sound right former club director??

Cline: Don't be surprised if Mrs. ConfusedDad shows up Sunday to root you on. By the way she likes ham over turkey. Newpost: I would have enjoyed watching
little Newpost play MH at N Lights. See everyone in Dallas if not sooner.

I want to congrat the Power 15 team for winning the open division at the Northern Lights Tournament today. I am really proud of the strong showing that all
the teams from the HOA region are making at the Qualifier Tournaments. It says something about how tough our girls play and how determined our girls are to
win.
