(VB) Ongoing Volleyball Thread 2025

Whole lot of nonsense on here.

As someone who is close to this team and was also close to Flor I gotta say pay no attention to the noise on Volleytalk. That is made up of Gator haters trying to belittle our team.

I know why Flor left and I am not going to hash it out here. God bless this young lady and I hope for nothing but the best for her.

I may be reporting on the team more in the coming days. They are a cohesive group with a lot of good will shared with each other and the staff. They are so competitive and happy to be around each other. Always smiling. Always striving. And with the team always first. .

 

Thank you, robboy1.
That is such hokum. You cannot fake the happiness on this team.
Speak with Amaya, who is in her fourth year here. There has never been a whisper.
And to say Stuckey or Parks was involved is ludicrous.

 

Well said, scrappy. The happiness these young ladies have with each other is infectious.

 

The VB team is winging its way to Europe.
Their trip includes stops in Maribor, Slovenia, Istanbul, Turkey, Venice, and Milan, Italy.
They will play matches against pro teams.

 

The VB team landed in Istanbul about an hour ago.

Should be a great experience for all of them

 

Jordan Byrd is the real deal. Won first set 25-22
Taylor and Alec were also good

 

2nd set won 25-16. Jordan spectacular. Bella had a good set too. We can pass and play defense.

 

3rd set won 25-17. Taylor was the winning factor.
Paying 2 more sets. Alexis, Madi and Amaya playing now.
So much fun watching these girls play and give it their all for each other.

 

Sounds like Jordan is as advertised!
The best thing I see is Madi playing.
How about Kira?
Thanks, robboy1.

 

This is very cool - having you give us a first hand account of what's going on. Appreciate you!!!

 

thanks for these updates. are the videos available?
Which pin was Byrd playing? are you able to say the starting lineup?
thanks.

 

In this clip, looks like Byrd on the right, and Kira with the arm wrap on the left?
