Week 5 Wisconsin Rankings – Do The Rankings Shuffle!
What a weekend it was in Wisconsin prep volleyball. Plenty of top teams were playing in the Charger Challenge at the Milwaukee Sting Center, but other top tournaments at Pewaukee, Middleton, and Diocesan Tournament with some of the top D3 and D4 Catholic schools battling it out. At this point in the season, there is no rhyme or reason as to will win at some of these events with top teams in any division.
For Example:
Waukesha West beats Appleton North, Appleton North beats Wisconsin Lutheran, Wisconsin Lutheran beats Brookfield Central, and Appleton North beats Wisconsin Lutheran.
Another series of who beats who would be Waterloo beats Howards Grove, Howards Grove beats Sun Prairie, Sun Prairie beats Waterloo, Kettle Moraine beats Arrowhead, and then Howards Grove beats Kettle Moraine.
Maddi Kealy settingThis is all a really vicious cycle, and next weekend it happens all over again with plenty of them competing in the West Bend Sprawl. The same goes for some of the Divison 3 and 4 squads with McDonnell Central, Columbus Catholic, and Aquinas this past weekend. There are even times where conferences teams will play in a tournament and then again the next week in a dual match. Which one is valued more?
We are in the part of the season where teams are starting to make small adjustments. Scouting and learning from previous matchups start to get involved. Injuries and sickness are starting to pop up for teams while others are getting injured played back. Maddi Kealy, Senior setter for River Falls saw her first action of the year after healing from a stress fracture to start the year, making a major impact for the Wildcats.
