There were no stats available for Joel Barlow at press time.

 

Wolcott Tech’s record goes to 11-8, while Joel Barlow’s record goes to 9-9.

 

Coach Tanguay and Coach Pepper were impressed with the team’s defense, and the ability to overcome the tournament jitters. The defense also had to adjust to a team that passed the ball to the deep corners of our court. This adjustment kept us in the game.

 

The offense was equally balanced between all 5 hitters on the court, making the Barlow defense honest in their court coverage. The fans at the OWTS Gym helped motivate the team during the match.

 

The coaching staff also wants to congratulate all players over the past ten years and most importantly, this years squad, for their determination to reach 100 overall wins this season.  One of our team goals this year was to reach this milestone, and in our tenth year anniversary, we accomplished our goal. This makes the Boy’s Volleyball Team the most successful team in school history. This is a tribute to the determination and dedication of the players, coaches, and families to our program.

 

The coaches also want to congratulate the team for winning the Connecticut Boys Volleyball Officials Association Sportsmanship Award for 2009. This is the fourth time in ten years this team has accomplished this goal.

 

The Wildcat’s will play in the state tournament quarterfinals on Friday, June 5, 2009 at the number one ranked team in Division M, Masuk High School at 5pm.
