Week Eight - The State of Something Special…
5/25/26
The Playoffs are here!
This is my favorite time of year. The level picks up a notch and all the decisions are magnified.
Truthfully, I cannot recall a season of boys volleyball where so many teams can do damage…this is going to be wild!
Annnnd, RI always seems to provide something special during this time…
So,
Let the games begin!
ResV Player of the Week…
Week One - Aggerson Vetiaque - Cranston East - Jr. - Pin
Week Two - Cam Gates - East Greenwich - Jr. - Pin
Week Three - Sean Peters - North Kingstown - Sr. - Middle
Week Four - Eli Lopez - Cranston West - Sr. - Pin
Week Five - Ryan Yin - Bishop Hendricken - Sr. - Setter
Week Six - Henry Kenyon - Westerly - Sr. - Middle
Week Seven - Donny Park - Barrington - Sr. - Pin
Week Eight - Andrew Ramos - Bishop Hendricken - Sr. - Pin - Mr. Ramos is the most devastating left side in the state. He’s super physical at the net, can serve very tough, and his ground game is solid. His stat lines are impressive and he has willed the Hawks to a win more then a couple of times this year. His most recent performance against EG was practically superb.
ResV Honorable Baller of the Week…
Week One - Ziyue Wang - Cranston West - Sr. - Pin
Week Two - Luke Brock - South Kingstown - Sr. - Pin
Week Three - Zackary Rzemien - Coventry - Sr. - Setter
Week Four - Caleb Locke - Chariho - Jr. - Middle
Week Five - Henry DeLa Zerda - Cranston West - Sr. - Libero
Week Six - Armando Ramirez- Juanita Sanchez - Sr. - Pin
Week Seven - Ford Ernst - Block Island - Fr. - Pin
Week Eight - Rowan Pereira - Toll Gate - Jr. - Pin - The Titans are a factor this year, and one of the main orchestrators of that is Pereira. In a year where there are other Pereira’s doing work…Ethan in East Providence, Rowan is another who is making it happen. This past week he put up 28 kills on Block Island in the Titans win, which is a huge number on the left and a great catapulting performance for the playoffs to come.
Braketology and Predictions…
Seedings are RIIL, not ResV’s.
Standard note applies…if I picked your team to win, go get it. If I picked your team to lose, go get it and prove me wrong. Both are awesome!
My picks are based on what I’ve seen, heard, and think, could happen. I could be right, I could be wrong…
D1:
(9) Coventry at (8) Classical (5/26) - One of the toughest parts of a season for all teams is when an injury occurs. The injury bug can rear it’s head at any moment…an often times at the worst possible time. Classical will attest to this as their playoff match is effected that very thing. With Coventry coming to The Purple’s barn, they’re going to need every bit of home cooking they can muster as Ian Nascimento will be on crutches and not available…at least that’s what I’ve been told. Nascimento is one of the key cogs in the Classical offense, so with him potentially down, that shifts the focus to Caden Pina and company to hold the fort. Pina has had a very good year, but can he generate enough pop to slow down Cam Marcotte and Michael Smith. Marcotte has had a player of the year type season in the league and Smith’s addition was one of the turning points in the Oaker’s campaign. If Nascimento was playing, and at 100%, my prediction would say the Purple in four…but I don’t think that’s where we are at. If Nascimento is down, or even playing hurt, I think Coventry prevails in four and advances on to see La Salle in the quarters.
Update - Coventry ends Classical’s season in three sets…
(10) Chariho at (7) East Providence (5/26) - This qualifier is a good one…provided both teams come with it and play their top level of ball. They both can play and both have knocked off some top seeds. East Providence was top seed for a lot of the year, but had trouble of late closing matches. Chariho couldn’t seem to get their act together early on, but then did, and started chopping down opponents like trees…though they’ve cooled down this last week or so. Who will have the game they need to advance?
Chariho has power on the left. Landan Marland is legit and Reid McCann has come along to “problem” status. The Chargers also have a premier Libero in Jaxson Vachon and a middle in Caleb Locke who is unorthodox as a lefty, but very athletic and runs a slide better then anyone in the league.
East Providence gets to host this one and they have plenty of firepower as well. Ethan Pereira is the problem on the right…he, and Flavio Tavares, are the top right sides in the state. Riley Wilson is a talented middle that can go toe to toe with Locke, while Ean Williamson is a very good Libero to battle the play of Vachon.
This one feels like it could go the distance. I’m going to go with EP in five as the home court advantage will be too much for Chariho, or whom gives a valiant effort.
Update - EP denies Chariho in three sets…
(5) Barrington at (4) North Kingstown - This is not the match I expected… There were moments when I thought Barrington was close to being the top club in the state. There were also times where I thought North Kingstown would be left searching…yet here we are. All that said, this is going to be a tough go for Barrington. NK is always tough at home, though this particular side will give you some daylight to maneuver… Nonetheless, the Forge is the Forge for a reason.
The Eagles have two pins that will cause issues, Donny Park and Cal Oberacker. Park is having a “player of the year” campaign while Oberacker could take over a game at any point. Logan Lane is the orchestrator of the offense and he’s a good one. Lane understands the assignment and is a solid block to deal with, along with the rest of his duties. The rest of the crew is up to the challenge as well.
Now, the Skippers have also have a most valuable candidate in Sean Peters. Peters has done everything but take tickets for the North. Arguably the top middle blocker in the state, Peters is a threat from anywhere on the net and will block at a high clip. Owen Schneider and Mark Sardelli carry the rest of the offensive weight, while Jayden Yang runs the show and Tim Harrington wears the different colored jersey and keeps the balloon from hitting the floor.
This is a tough one…rightfully so for the 4/5 matchup. I’m going to go with Barrington in five. I think Park and Oberacker will have solid days and in the end, it’ll be a 15 - 12 type set five. Wonderful match…going to the Eagles.
(6) East Greenwich at (3) Cranston East - This is another strange one for me. If you had told me that the Avengers would be on the road, just like they were two years ago, at Cranston East…I wouldn’t have believed you. CE came out the gate a little wobbly and unsure while East Greenwich started the season on fire, beating teams left and right. The midway point changed things though, when Cranston East caught fire and reminded everyone they were the defending champs. EG got stuck in a rut that took too long to get out of. This brings us to this match…
For Cranston East, it really begins with Aggerson Vetiaque. I wrote earlier that Pereira and Tavares were the top opposites in the state. I kind of forgot about Aggerson. Though, Aggerson feels more like an outside to me, it would still be an error to keep him out of the top opposites conversation. Vetiaque is long, athletic, has a very strong arm, and has been the main weapon of choice for this Bolt side. He also serves tough and causes all sorts of issues at the net when it matters most…a premier weapon. Jordan Frisone and Sean Dolan are the other heavy lifters on the offense while Robbie Daniels is one of the top deciders in the league. CE is scrappy and can play all different kinds of ball…formidable when things are going right.
East Greenwich has plenty of the pieces of the puzzle as well. Cam Gates is the volume guy. He gets most of the sets on the left and is the Avengers best attacker out of the back row. Gates has grown into that six rotation player that has to be on the floor for passing, defense, and jump top spin serving amongst all the other tools in his belt. Middle, and sometimes pin, Matt Rosemark is the second weapon. Rosemark is tough in the middle. He runs his routes well and his arm is solid. He can also get good swings on the left and right…a true dual threat like Peters from NK. Milo Sy and Zack LaPierre also bring some heat on the pins, along with Aidan Acuna in the middle. Rainen Paquet is the signal caller while Zion Sun has the jersey. It’s a fun group, who when on, can run you out the building.
This will be another close match. I realize that EG has already beaten CE at CE, but that was a different time period for both teams. I think the Bolts outlast the Avengers in four. The gym is tough, the level is higher, the stakes are larger, and there will be too much Frisone kills for the Avengers to come out on top.
(9) Coventry at (1) La Salle Academy - Having already talked a little bit about Coventry, let’s focus on La Salle. The Rams have held the top spot for most of the season…all of the season for RIIL. For the longest time, no one for Rhode Island could lay a glove on them. The reason? Ball control. La Salle has the ability to pass and dig better then almost anyone in the league. Jayden Simao is arguably the top Libero in the state and he doesn’t allow much to hit the floor. He passes at a premier level and can dig almost anything hit at him. Cooper Amaral Morris is the setter and he’s a good one as well. Plays great ground defense, can block just fine, and runs the offense with good thought and strategy. Flavio Tavares has been the hammer all season. Flavio has huge bounce and a great arm…he often finds ways to score when there are none. La Salle also has solid middle play with Daniel Ayorinde and Connor Whittaker while also benefitting from solid role play up and down the bench. There is a reason, as said before, why the Rams are the cream of the crop thus far. Now, there are rumors that Morris isn’t 100% and if he can’t go, that could change some things... Coventry will lean on Marcotte heavy to try to get this one done…but I don’t think the Oakers will have enough. Rams in three and a date in the semis.
(7) East Providence at (2) Bishop Hendricken - This one could be more upsettty. Bishop Hendricken is a club that relies on the top pin in the state…Andrew Ramos. Ramos has been superb all year and can do it all. He scores at a high clip, passes the ball well and is a menace at the net. I don’t have the stats, we are a terrible state for stats, but he must be hitting around .400 and averaging around 18 kills a night. No one is able to slow this kid down. He also serves tough and his ground game is better then advertised. It’s been a very impressive year for him thus far, to be sure. Ramos is joined by Zack Roebuck…one of the top middles in the league. He’s probably hitting around .500 and getting 12 to 15 a night. Roebuck is a solid block and has some creativity at the service line. You have to know where he is on the net at all times. Ryan Yin moved to the setter position this year and has been outstanding. I also like Ty Karten on the pin. The Sophomore has played real good ball and has helped elevate this team. There is a lot to like at the Hawk’s nest. They’re going to need it, because I don’t think EP is a pushover opponent by any stretch. Pereira and Wilson will get good looks and the Townies will be able to survive some attack runs by Hendricken due to their exceptional ground defense. Still, I think there will be too much Bishop Hendricken on the night. Ramos will get his and EP will fall in four…securing the Hawks another date in the semis.
D2:
(9) South Kingstown at (8) Juanita Sanchez - South Kingstown has held a pretty steady level all year. You could set your watch to how they play. It’s been a tough year for them, but they’re in and they are dangerous. Their top win was beating Central Falls, which is a significant vic to be sure. They’re led by Chase Wolstencroft and Luke Brock who both can have strong performances in this one. Meanwhile, Juanita Sanchez has been a little more inconsistent, but also have gotten a few more wins…and the wins have been huge. JS has vics over Pawtucket, Portsmouth, and Central…all playoff teams. JS is led by Eliah Torres and Armando Ramirez. Both athletes have strong arms, especially Torres who is a threat from the middle as well as the pins. JS also hosts this one and their gym is another tough barn in our state to play in. I think SK will play good ball, but it just won’t be enough to get past Juanita Sanchez. JS in three.
Update - Juanita Sanchez advances in four-sets over South Kingstown
(5) Central Falls at (4) Lincoln - What a crazy matchup for the 4/5! Lincoln, who had a tough go in the beginning and is now one of the top teams in the final stretch hosting Central Falls who has been a giant killer all year, knocking off teams left and right…especially in they’re in the top 15! This will be a good one.
As we know, Lincoln has a totally different look then last year. Tyler Biddle is the top player for Lincoln this time around. Biddle is well rounded, can pass, score, serve tough, the whole package. Jacob Lizotte and Leidson Centeio are the middles and they do a nice job of securing the net and getting some kills when called upon. To me, however, the most important player for this Lincoln side is Jacob’s brother Jordan. Jordan is the right side and this Lion team sort of goes how he goes. Most teams are built with power on left, and hope to get a sprinkle of play from the middle and the right. Lincoln, has Jordan and he can score. If Jordan goes off…good things tend to happen.
For Central Falls, their setter is the key to it all. Jovanny Lopez is the real deal and could be the setter of the year for D2. Lopez is agile, athletic, puts a up a hittable 90% of the time while also making real good decisions of who gets their opportunity when. Ground defense is top shelf from him and his serving is legit. He often wills his team to victory through scrappy play and covering more then half the court. There are plenty of weapons on the floor, but Lopez makes it all run.
To all of that, I think Lincoln escapes here. They’re hosting, which is huge, and there is more offensive pop on this team. Central Falls will be in it until they’re not. Lincoln in four.
(7) Portsmouth at (2) Westerly - The two top middle prospects in Rhode Island do battle in this one. To date, Portsmouth has been hit or miss…but when they hit, it’s a knockout blow. Westerly knows it as they tasted it in the second half of the season. Hosting this one is key, but again, you can’t count out a team that’s beaten you in a regular season match.
Portsmouth is the Jack Casey show. Casey is a 6’5, athletic, middle whose main game is basketball…of which I think I heard he’s attending Catholic to play…but he’s a darn good middle as well. In fact, he’s one of the top guys in the state and the Patriots rely on him heavily to get points, kills, blocks, etc. The other pieces of the puzzle are solid enough, but Casey is the focal point for this year’s club. The other most telling point is that Portsmouth has had trouble with almost all of the teams in the playoffs. The only win they managed in the regular season from the D2 playoffs list was Westerly, which gives them some promise going into this one.
Westerly’s top middle is Henry Kenyon and he does the same routine as Jack Casey. Kenyon can do it all and if there is an advantage in the comparison between the two players…Kenyon is the better blocker. The Bulldogs also have Grady Auth who may be the best setter in the state…or at a minimum is closing in fast. Kenyon and Auth are the duo that everyone is worried about, but the guy who is the game changer is Nate Paciga. Paciga runs a good middle and can do a little bit of everything to help the cause. A good bet is when Paciga is putting up points, Westerly is then in really good shape.
I don’t think Portsmouth will have the firepower to stop Westerly this time around. Casey will do his thing, but Kenyon, Auth, and company will have too much going for them at home. Westerly in four.
(6) Central at (3) Pawtucket - This is another good one, but it all sort of depends on which Pawtucket team shows up. For the past four years, Pawtucket has been one of the most consistent teams in the state. They’ve been in the mix over and over again with huge wins, and some agonizing defeats. This year has felt different. Pawtucket has been more off the radar then usual. Central has been the tough out all year and I think they’re very game for this one. This one could be trouble for lads from the bucket.
First thing…Central has the win in the seasonal match with Pawtucket. This one was a home contest for them and they were able to hand the three-set loss in a pretty convincing manner…18, 18, 23. That was on April 29th…it’s been practically a month since then. I’ve watched Central play a couple of times and there is a lot to like. I really like Dewa Putra in the Libero jersey. Putra has all the tools, sells out for every ball, and makes plays that keep his team in the mix. I also like the smooth and heady play of Pablo Estrada. The lefty Estrada makes tactical moves constantly and can fill up the stat sheet fast. The rest of the Central crew has that scrappy play disposition that can wear down opponents with long rallies and sets.
Pawtucket, though flying under the radar this year, is still the #3 seed for a reason. They do have wins over Lincoln, Central Falls, and Portsmouth to go with their thirteen overall wins to date. This squad is led by outside hitter Bryan Leon. Leon is a solid pin who can score in a variety of ways. When they need something to happen, Leon is the guy. Cooper Markley is another player that’s emerged to high level play. Markley runs the middle and is an absolute handful to stop. The trick with this side, like every side, is error control. Make too many errors and the ship leaves without you. If Pawtucket can keep the ball in play and put pressure on with their serve, a lot of good can happen. They are hosting, which is huge, and of note.
This one…my heart says Central, but my head says Pawtucket. I think it easily could go five…not that it helps anything. I’ll flip a coin… Heads - Central, Tails - Pawtucket. Well…it turned up heads…so I’ll go with Central in five…though wouldn’t be shocked at all if Pawtucket handled their business here.
(8) Juanita Sanchez at (1) West Warwick - As you can read, I’ve talked a little bit about JS already…so let’s dive into the top seed in the tournament for D2. I’ve known Coach Malloy for a bit now…I think I was still coaching in the high school ranks…or I had just begun coaching at JWU, when he was playing for Coventry. He was talented, undersized, and just a relentless competitor…like most of the Coventry guys were back then. So, when I see his team play today, it’s like watching his Oakers teams back in the old days.
The Wizards have firepower. There is no disputing that. To me, it starts with Colin Kelly. Kelly is a middle who blocks like a college player. Their aren’t many guys in the state that do it like that. Kenyon, Tavares, Peters, Ramos, Marcotte, and Kelly…I guess that would be my five that can do it. So, he’s a fierce blocker, solid attacker and just a headache at the net. You have to know where he is when he’s in the match. The Wizards also have two pins that are really hard to stop in Alex Osmena and Michael Gallo. Osmena is your six rotation guy that is called upon to do it all. He’s their top passer, defender, and will get the rock to score. Gallo is a straight away weapon. His job is to come in for three rotations at the net and score…which he does very well. He’s got a good arm and he’ll make tactical drop shots if the block is loaded on him. Ethan Pereia is another baller, of which the Wizards have plenty, while Ian Degnan is the setter that runs the offense. Degnan does a nice job of keeping the offense a tough puzzle while ensuring the ball gets to where it needs to go to when it needs to happen.
The last time these two teams met, West Warwick got through in four…but that was at the beginning of the season. The Wizards are more polished now and I think, though JS will get some shots off, West Warwick will move on in three.
D3:
(8) Mt. Pleasant at (1) Mt. Hope - Someone with a Mt. is going to win this match… I know, terrible joke. Still, I’m right on this one, and y’all, know it.
Mt. Pleasant comes into this one with a 7 - 9 overall record with some solid wins over Toll Gate, Davies…and you guessed it, Mt. Hope. Yes, that’s right, dear readers, Mt. Pleasant was the first to crack the Mt. Hope code from D3 land.
Now, the seasonal matchups were split with both teams getting wins on their home ice. Mt. Hope has only lost three matches all year, so Mt Pleasant being one of them is somewhat significant. Generally, they’ve dominated the field and haven’t been tested too much. Dylan DeOliveira is arguably the top setter in D3 and has his team primed for back to back finals appearances. Matt Moran and Jackson Gould are the middles that make the ship go, while Dylan Shaw and Brad Harrington are the pins that bring the level for the Huskies.
For Mt. Pleasant, senior Anthony Berroa will be one of the main figures on offense. He’s got a solid arm and can put a good charge in the ball when the opportunity is there. I also like the setting of junior Jeremias Ixcuna. He does a nice job of mixing in attacks from all over the net and fining Berroa and Gilbert Acosta when possible.
Hosting this thing will probably be the main advantage for Mt. Hope as they’ve not lost at home all year. I think Mt. Pleasant will compete early, but in the later stages of the sets, the Huskies will pull away. Mt. Hope in three.
(5) Hope at (4) Toll Gate - The final 4/5 matchup is just like the others…intriguing. On one side you have Hope, who has a 9 - 8 overall record with a significant win over Toll Gate. On the other side you have the Titans that are 10 - 10 overall and have a significant win over Hope. It’s almost perfect!
We can dive down even further. Toll Gate’s other significant win was beating Exeter / West Greenwich at home. Hope’s other significant win was against Mt. Pleasant also in their own barn. So, what do we know? Both teams have beaten each other at home and both teams have their other top wins at home…whomever hosts has the advantage…Toll Gate.
The Titans are led by Rowan Pereira who scores in bunches and can craft the ball well on the serve. He’s a volume guy with a wicked arm. I also like the play of Alexson Hun on the pin and Riley Scanlon runs the offense quite well, especially in free ball situations.
I think the hosting part of this equation is the main contributing factor to the outcome. Toll Gate will get the vic in a tough four to advance.
(7) St. Raphael’s at (2) North Providence - I must confess that North Providence snuck up on me this year. From my perspective, North Providence was middle of the pack…until they just weren’t. NP had only three loses on the season! So, where were you, Coach Reslow? Valid point… Mt. Hope was the only team to beat them, but then North Providence also took them down as well. So, though it may be surprising to me, no-one from North Providence is shocked. They’re coming to win this thing.
NP will need to start with St. Raphael’s. NP has the season win over the Saints, whose real signature wins are against Mt. Pleasant (twice), as well as Hope and Davies. The main weapon for North is the play of their middles…Timileyin Durojaye and Caden Hicks. Durojaye is very physical at the net and may be the top blocker in D3. The net physicality along with hosting the match puts St. Raphael’s in a tough spot.
The Saints have some middles of their own in Jaymeson Taylor and Joe Clifton. If they can dominate the net, and out play their counterparts, while making things really tough for NP to generate points, St. Raphael has a shot in this one. Blocks for points can not only help the score, but change momentum around as well. Taylor and Clifton can certainly make that happen, just as the NP guys can.
At the end of the day, I think there the better ball control lies with North Providence. They’ll have some issues getting through St. Raphael’s net presence early, but find the way out in four.
(6) Davies at (3) Exeter / West Greenwich - Lastly we come to Davies and Exeter / West Greenwich. I’ve gotten to know this EWG side a little bit when I sat down to watch their entire match with Mt. Hope. They ended up losing that one in five, but it was a very entertaining match. I’ve also seen Davies a couple of times on film as well. Davies finished the regular season with a 9 - 9 record with their significant wins being over St. Raphael’s and Mt. Pleasant.
EWG is the last of the top teams with only three losses…Mt. Hope and North Providence being the other two. Unfortunately for EWG, of their three losses, North Providence and Mt. Hope are on that list. Toll Gate was the third one. Still, this team plays solid ball and can cause issues with their serving, length, and scrappy all-around play. I like the play of Sophomore setter, Will Edwards a lot. He reminds me of DeOliveira from Mt. Hope quite a bit. He puts up hittable balls and has a smooth tenacity to his play. The big fella in the middle for this club is Zoltan Libertini. Big Z moves well and can certainly cause some issues at the net for opponents. I also like the play of the other three Sophs they have in the starting lineup. Lefty Derik Payette, Casey Kretchman, and Desmond Butler. With four Sophs starting, and Zoltan has another year, this EWG side is going to be solid for a bit.
Meanwhile, Davies has some power in the middle that can deal with big Z. Desean Jackson and Oscar Victorino are both seniors and both are plenty physical at the net. When the opportunity presents, both can score points on the attack as well. Davies also serves the ball aggressively for this level, which allows them to put some pressure on. Of the matches I watched, they were getting about three to four overpasses a set that the big fellas would put away.
I do think the host team holds the fort here. EWG has the better ball control and has more weapons at the net. I also think they’ll be tested though. Sophomores will the feel the playoffs, no question, but in the end, the young guns from EWG will find a way in four to advance.
ResV Coaching Tip of the Week…
I think the best advice I can give in a playoff situation is do not leave any bullets in the gun. Meaning…when you’re in win or go home event and things start going the other way on you, utilize all the players or ideas you have. If your lose, and you didn’t try something that could have flipped the script…well, that’s awful.
Now, I say that with some caveats in mind. These ideas, and players to try, must be worked on in practice first. In the training gym, moves need to be repped out. It is rare to throw something at the wall and it’s successful…it isn’t as rare to train something for the moment, making the move, and magic suddenly happens.
Moreso, you don’t want to put players in a position to fail. Example, you’re middle three is your backup Opposite as well. You look at how things have gone this season, and the starting Opposite has gotten the yips when the lights get bright. What I would suggest is making sure the last three or four trainings before the playoff match, your middle three gets plenty of run as an opposite just in case. Match happens, your starting Oppo starts to struggle, you sub in middle three, and M3 is confidant enough to get you through. If you don’t give M3 those reps the last three practices as the Opp, what happens when he gets put in there? Bad things…probably bad things. I know time is short and this may be a moot point, but hopefully you’ve had some time to prep reserve guys on your roster.
It’s the coach’s job to anticipate what may happen in a match and prepare for it. So, have some preparation in place and if things go wrong with the initial plan, go down swinging with other ideas that have been repped. You never know when that alternative idea practiced becomes the sole reason your team survived and advanced.
ResV Player Tip of the Week…
Real simple…
Play Hard, Play Together, Play Smart.
This was the mantra of Dean Smith’s North Carolina teams. Too many times things are too wordy to get across well. This coming from you, Coach Reslow? Yes, I know…but I ramble too much mostly in writing…mostly. I do talk with my teams all the time about how there is too short a time between the whistle to beckon for serve, or the timeout I just called, for pleasantries and lengthy explanations. I need to give you fast information, and thus it will be curt and to the point. If I have your trust, you won’t mind.
The Dean Smith mantra covers everything you need to be successful as a team, especially in the playoffs. Play Hard means no lazy or half-assed effort. To win, every player needs to go all out, all the time. Play Together…your teammates are your rock, your motivation, and your advocates. Do not let them down. Communication is key between teammates as confusion or miscommunication usually spells the program’s doom in a high stakes event. Lastly, Play Smart… This isn’t about intelligence, as some figure. You’re on the team already…you’re plenty smart. What this means, at least my interpretation of it, is staying focused and locked in to your job and the overall situations of the team. There is so much stimuli that is thrown to us in a match…then add high stakes, emotions, cheers, reactions, etc. That’s a lot. It’s easy to get lost in all of it. Staying focused on your particular job and staying in the moment will lead to you making the right calls and decisions. You’ve trained months for this moment…see the play, make the play. If / then.
Have a blast and leave it all on the floor.
