EDITOR’S NOTE: Merritt Island Head Volleyball Coach Angie Patrick will be blogging on SpaceCoastDaily.com about her team’s quest to capture back-to-back state volleyball championships. Check back as Coach Patrick gives us the inside scoop on her team – and the challenge of repeating as a state champion.
BREVARD COUNTY • MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA – We are getting prepared for the Sweet Sixteen play-off now. We play at Auburndale on Tuesday, Nov. 6, and the Regional Final will be Saturday, Nov. 10th at 2 p.m. State play-offs are November 14–15.
Mustang volleyball is making a push to win a back to back state title. We are taking it one day, one game, one set, one point at a time. We are overlooking NO ONE!
We have some big challenges ahead of us, but nothing we aren’t prepared for. I have full confidence in this group of girls that they will give all they have as we fight to defend our title. I know they are hungry for it and ready for it. This is an exciting time of the season and the chemistry and talent this group of girls has will make for a strong finish.
All of our seniors are contributing. How this season ends for them will pretty much be in their hands.
We’ve said throughout the season “EARNED, NOT GIVEN” and they’ve held true to that working hard to be at their best these next few weeks.
