With a season that we didn't know if it would happen, it is over and we made it all the way through! And coming spring of 2021, many great players will graduate and continue their volleyball careers at colleges across the country. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b id="docs-internal-guid-06bdee1f-7fff-65e1-924e-10f503dff6c9" style="font-weight: normal;"></b><span style="color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We will start our analysis of the final 2021 list by featuring the Omaha Skutt Catholic Skyhawks. With a four-year varsity record of 134-21 and four Class B State Championships, players and fans are well aware of the talent on this squad. Perhaps one of the best teams ever in the state! No need to post stats here because chances are, volleyball fans already know the greatness on this team!!!</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coach Renee Saunders comments, "This has been one of the best classes to ever come through Skutt Catholic with 6 of 7 signing to play volleyball at the next level, including three at DI, one at DII and two at NAIA.  They have given their all to our program and truly left their mark.  I will miss their smiles, their competitiveness, and their silly personalities that made them so much fun to coach!  They are awesome people, awesome teammates, and an inspiration to those around them. Nothing but love for this class!"</span><span style="color: #222222; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;
