 Go and welcome in to the All-Dispersons show. I'm Joe Wombo, joined now with special guest on the All-Dispersons show, Brent Whitehead, assistant coach for the men's volleyball team. Coach, you guys head out to play three games in the CVC last week, able to win them all, only losing one set. What were the importance of those matches doing for the games that you'll have this week? Oh, this whole final stretch of conference play is just crucial. The primary goal is to be top four in the conference and be able to make conference playoffs to try to defend our title from last year. But there's still a possibility that if we went out the rest of the way, that we'd actually be able to host the conference playoffs here. And there's no substitute for playing at home. Yeah, we've seen what home crowds here at Stevenson can do for the volleyball programs. Obviously, you're involved in the women's side, too, being able to see those championships come our way. The men have a distinct possibility to be able to host. And it's going to start with getting another three wins this week. Oh, yeah, absolutely. We had that long break. And on one hand, I thought it was really beneficial to the guys that they got a chance to rest, to heal, because the season's growing. Like, it's very rare that we just play one match in a day. And the amount of traveling that we do just makes it really tough. So that break, even though I think it was a little bit longer than maybe Coach and I would have liked, but it is what it is. And we were able to bounce back after a week of pretty solid practices and take care of business on the road. Now, you'll have a little less opportunity to practice this week. You guys are playing all three games, but you get to play them all at home, starting again tomorrow against Marymount. Yeah, Marymount's going to be a real tough test. They're top in the conference right now. They're, I think I've ranked somewhere, maybe not even the top 10. I haven't seen the poll yet for this week, but last week they were ranked 11th. We went into their gym earlier in the season, really pushed them to play five sets. And the final of the fifth set was well beyond 15 points. I think it was something ridiculous, like 27, 29, or something like that. But it's going to be a real good test. The guys know what we need to do. We control our own destiny, which is all you can really ask for. But now we've got to go out and get the job done. And you'll follow that up quickly on Friday with a match against Juniata. Another important match for you guys. They sit right behind you in the standings. Yeah, and it's definitely a rivalry match. The seniors on the team remember what it was like taking some beatings from Juniata. So that's kind of one of those matches on the schedule that you put a starve aside. And it's kind of special because you definitely want to come out with a win. And another special match this week, you guys are going to head over to the Green Spring Campus, play on the brand new courts out there, renovated courts against hosting Teal. It's going to be an exciting game there, too. Yeah, and we practiced there last night. The gym actually looks really good now. Coach Adams did a great job of picking out what he wanted done to give the court an updated field. The volleyball court's the primary court. It's got a green border on the outside that really makes the volleyball court stand out and that with how much lighter the floor is now, it really brightens the gym up and it's not a bad place to play in. We're definitely looking forward to that game move over to the Green Spring gym. And it's going to be interesting. And I wish you the best of luck this week against Marymount, Juniata, and Teal this week. Thank you very much. He's Brent Whitehead filling in for all dispersants.
