3A Poll: Delta @ New Castle on October 13

<p>It's going to be a great match, but unfortunately one of these teams goes home after tomorrow night. The Eagles and the Trojans are very familiar with one another; most of these kids play club at Munciana, which makes this matchup all the more interesting. What makes this match <em>more</em> interesting is that they just played each other October 4, with New Castle escaping with a five-set victory, 15-13 in the fifth. Here's a small breakdown of each team, with a poll to vote in at the end.</p>   <h2>Delta (13-9)</h2>   <p>The Eagles, as long as I have known them, have always had ball control kids without a lot of size. With wins over Greenfield-Central, Chatard, Mount Vernon and Westfield, they've more than proven they can compete with the much bigger teams in central Indiana. Proof of that fact starts with senior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='234691' first='Camaya' last='Murry'] ('23, 5-4 DS/OH),</strong> who seemingly plays with a chip on her shoulder. Last week, she finished with a double-double (23k, 26d) while hitting north of .300. Although she projects to play DS at the next level, I wouldn't mind to see what damage she can do this fall. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='234694' first='Olivia' last='Morris'] ('24, 5-9 MB)</strong> is a nice complement to Camaya's skill set, who added 16 kills of her own on the 4th.</p>   <h2>New Castle (21-9)</h2>   <p>This group is unfazed by the moment, owning wins over Muncie Burris, Pendleton Heights and Center Grove. I had the pleasure of reffing a scrimmage at New Castle in August, which owns the largest high school gym in the country. At over 9000 seats, there are colleges that envy their capacity. As host, there <em>has</em> to be a home court advantage with all of that space and depth change. Juniors <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='234692' first='Ella' last='Young'] ('24, 5-7 OH)</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='234693' first='Alaina' last='Bowman'] ('24, 6-0 MB)</strong> each bring their own talents to the 900 square feet in front of them. Ella is a primary-passing, six-rotation outside who led all attackers with 25 kills last week, while completing the double-double with 14 digs. Size will matter in this match, with Alaina adding a double-double of her own; 13 kills and a career-high 13 blocks. </p>   <h2>So, who ya got?
