I was told Sunshine 18's took down SCVC, 22-25, 25-10 and 15-7. This was the second time the girls from Sunshine had SCVC's number, the first being at Las Vegas on their way to winning that tournament. The Sunshine players must have Sammie Selskys ACL surgery and their middle's impending surgery on their mind. I'm sure they will meet SCVC again! I heard everyone contributed and both new setters played very well. Congrats to a gutty, determined team.

Ok, perhaps the t-shirts were a bit over the top (I wasn't there so couldn't judge the impact they had), however the sentiment was pure and the feelings of the girls was authentic. Cancer in a 17 year old is devastating and the girl that this awful disease visited is a wonderful young lady who is still optimistic, cheerful and plays with great passion and athleticism. Instead of focusing on the relatively insignificant question of propriety, let's all hope that her surgery goes really well and she recovers completely as is expected. The fact that Sunshine has gone through all these difficult times (Sammie Selsky's ACL tear and the cancer) is a testament to the quality of their play and true love of the game. They are still a top tier 18's team that could prove to be a dangerous opponent at JO's and might just repeat their fabulous feat at Las Vegas.
