Nice job ladies! What a fun ride it has been.
SC Parent | 4:56 a.m. Nov. 8, 2009

Kyle Andrus | 5:21 a.m. Nov. 8, 2009
Hats off to the Snow Canyon Warriors. You gals are already a dynasty in
progress. Congratulations on another tremendous year.

Jamaica Alisa, Taylor Murphey & Alexa Esplin were incredible. I watched the
tournament all weekend and this team did very well because of those 3.
to "Always" | 12:48 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
Glad SC can beat Dixie in something. Four years in a row the Warriors beat DHS
in girls volleyball, and now four years in a row Dixie beat Snow Canyon in
football. I'll take the football wins, thank you! Flyers still flyin high!
Schedule in St. George | 1:18 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
I know this is aragont to some. Please schedule the 4A Volleyball playoffs in
St. George from now on. This will allow the teams that will be in the
championship game to have the support of the entire community. After the teams
up north lose they can then play golf or shop or whatever it will also help out
the economy in St. George

Just wondering how many things did you win when you were at Dixie and how many
state games have you been in. In all things considering Dixe did a great job.
You have no idea the back ground of these kids and what they go through
everyday. They represented YOUR school well. Did you?

Warrior Nation Fan | 2:41 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
I watched the entire tourney myself, and every warrior volleyball player made a
huge contribution. To say they did well because of three players is ridiculous.
Every kid on that team came up with big plays when it counted. Don't
diminish what that ENTIRE team did! What an awesome bunch of kids; crowd
included!
wondering | 3:37 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
Hmm... the Dixie golf state champ and the SC volleyball state champ live in the
same house behind black ridge... weird
Warrior Football Great | 4:27 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
What maybe one more year for Graft? Please make Alaina Parker the head football
coach!
v-ball fan | 6:08 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
Want to give some credit to SUVA club for making both teams great. I think
great coaching all year (not just from high school coaches) has helped these
kids. Great job this year to both teams. most of Dixie's team that played
in that tournament are 2 and 3 sport kids who barely started playing v-ball
until 2 years ago. Way to go Dixie. You were there when nobody expected. When
you look at Snow Canyon, they all have played since 5th grade and most of them
only play volleyball.The Suva Club had a lot to do with their ability to play.
V-Ball Fan | 6:32 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
Way to go WARRIORS. What a great bunch of girls, coaching staff, parents and
fans. The warrior team totally deserved to win, they played with heart. Way to
ROCK the house JAMAICA ALISA, nice way to end your season. Have fun at the next
level, GO AGGIES!
super job | 8:01 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
way to go Dixie and Snow Canyon! You have worked hard all season. The entire
team for both teams are very deep and yes we will be back next year for another
one. I think that all the 4 A teams did a great job! I was disappointed in the
Dixie fans feeling that they needed to compare volleyball with other sports.
After all to us that watch the game volleyball is the only game that matters
anyway. Best wishes to all teams and the hard work you put forth this year!
Anonymous | 8:23 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
yes the entire team did excellent and the fans were great. i was just mentioning
the 3 that stuck out the most to me. but the whole team did do very well...thats
why they won.
SC Fan | 9:02 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
Way to go girls. Yes they all played great, it would be hard to pick the MVP.
The biggest difference was when it appeared that Parker started to get cramps in
her legs and SC stumbled for a few points, when she recovered, they picked up
steam and closed the match. Yes she deserves the MVP. What a great bunch of
girls. Good luck Jamaica, go enjoy the Aggies with former Warrior Liz
McCarthur. Both teams should be congratulated. It is hard to get there, yet
alone win it. Southern Utah has some great athletes and great programs.
Fellow Warrior | 9:55 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
woo hoo!!!! Snow Canyon is amazing. With a power house set of girls and an
amazing coach, we were a shoe in for the win! Good job to everyone! Way to
represent.
SC Alum | 10:08 p.m. Nov. 8, 2009
Hey Warriors! How do you feel?! Great job SC! The legacy lives. Everyone on the
team did a fantastic job and Coach Park dominates. I love the Warriors!
Congrats Stacy | 9:51 a.m. Nov. 9, 2009
I am going to have to say I love Stacy and the way she prepares her team as
well... Everyone is congratulating the warriors and they well deserve it, but
Hats off to you Stacy! You did a great job!!! You always do and I look to you as
a mentor in many ways! Thanks for always being a great example to your team and
those of us who watch!!!
yo | 9:54 a.m. Nov. 9, 2009
who is responsible for the up swing in V-ball in St. George...do they have club
teams or is someone working with the girls?
please | 9:59 a.m. Nov. 9, 2009
who runs SUVA Club and are any of the girls going on to play college..
Volleyball observer | 10:31 a.m. Nov. 9, 2009
SUVA seems to be patting themselves on the back for someone else's
accomplishments. I did not see SUVA on the back of any girls jersey this
weekend, and I think it is awfully presumptuous to take credit for someone
else's success. I have watched Border League in St. George, and both of
these schools have feeder programs that work with young kids. Getting to play a
lot of volleyball helps, but these coaches and programs are successful not
because of some club, but because they are putting in the time and effort with
their kids where it counts.
to volleyball observer | 11:04 a.m. Nov. 9, 2009
These kids get good coaching year round. high school and SUVA. That is what
makes the difference. Even middle school age, they play club or go to camps
through SUVA or the high school. Bottom line these kids get good coaches all
year. Plus the kids really know how to work. They love the sport and want to do
good.
Stacy Leavitt | 11:20 a.m. Nov. 9, 2009
I would like to comment to volleyball observer. Thank you for talking up our
volleyball programs and border league. It is a lot of time and energy. No they
didn't have SUVA on their backs, they had Dixie and Snow Canyon. They were
fighting for their schools and programs. But I also believe other coaches have
helped these kids be successful. These kids come together on the off season and
play club together. Under the direction of other coaches. Thanks to everyone
that has helped with these kids. And thanks to the kids who work so hard and do
have a lot of passion for the game. I am especially proud of my kids. It
wasn't easy this year and they could have given up. You don't see
teams with kids averaging 5'7" playing in a state championship. They
showed a lot of heart. Their defense was amazing.
Alaina Parker | 12:27 p.m. Nov. 9, 2009
I would like to second what Stacy said. The kids on both teams work hard to be
successful during the high school season, and in the off season. Southern Utah
was, once again, well represented in the state tournament. I also appreciate
the passion the kids show for the game. If you were at UVU this past weekend,
you got to see some great volleyball. Congrats to all the girls who were a part
of that championship match; most people don't ever get that opportunity!

Re: to "Always" | 10:05 p.m. Nov. 9, 2009
Sorry if you haven't noticed but um last year, I can't think right now
apparently, but who won Region 9 Basketball?
5'7" | 7:41 a.m. Nov. 11, 2009
What is the average hieght and where is that information found? Or is that just
one of those made up feel good statistics?
SUVHUH? | 10:54 a.m. Nov. 11, 2009
Did hurricane have any suva players on last years State Championship team? The
Championships belong to the schools, coaches, players and parents who work hard
all year. Not to businesses who earn income from the girls. Have you ever
heard these words "I need to make my high school team so I can have a
better chance to make my club team", UH NO!
Anonymous | 1:00 p.m. Nov. 11, 2009
These club teams take alot of time and effort to help these girls be even BETTER
V.B. players and it is very rude to come on here and put down the clubs that
work with these girls. Keep up the good work SUVA and Border League, thanks for
all your help with the girls!!
to SUVHUH | 1:45 p.m. Nov. 11, 2009
Hurricane had no SUVA players on their championship team, I don't think
they had any the year they made the semi's either. Most would say they
still have 2-3 kids a year that are as good or better then some Dixie and SC
players, but that's another argument. Do clubs help improve athletes? Yes
however, a good HS coach tries to first get the kids focused on the "team
objective" rather then the "club or scholarship" objective that
too many kids have become blinded with and ruined their playing experience not
to mention their chances after HS. Find it interesting that SUVA (probably the
owners or people coaching it) are taking the credit. good job to the HS
coaches, players, parents and community.
Love to watch VB | 2:17 p.m. Nov. 11, 2009
I was at UVU last weekend and wanted to comment on a player that I enjoyed
watching. Snow Canyon's #10 Jamaica Alisa. What an exciting player. I could
tell she has been coached very well, she was so fun to watch as she was a leader
on the court. Her energy was amazing. I noticed in previous posts she is going
to USU. I hope they know how lucky they are to get such an exciting player. Good
Luck to you Jamaica you made this tournament a pleasure for me and my family to
watch. You are a true Champion.
Varsity player for Stacy | 6:33 p.m. Nov. 13, 2009
I would like to say that i am a senior this year and have played for Stacy in
both club and High School ball and i know that she is the best coach around. She
brought us to state and made us work for it so we could play in the championship
game. We did what was unexpected and played well. Our whole team came together
and didn't die as past teams have at state. Congrats to Dixie in a great
season. Good Luck at state next year Dixie. Thanks for being such a great coach
Stacy.
To: Varsity Player for Stacy | 12:08 p.m. Nov. 15, 2009
You did do well at the tournament but your arguement that your team
"didn't die as past teams have at state" is funny. What do you
call 2nd place 4 straight years? Which teams died? How is your team different?
To say she is the best coach around is another fun statement. Seems the best
players win as do the best coaches. In our 4A region, she is the 2nd best coach
around just as her team has been 4 straight years.
Go Warriors
