Pleased (and slightly embarrassed) that you found this ugly, work-in-progress blog. If you're reading this comment, could you also help us identify the positions played by the Morellos and Dana Kenney? Also, what are some key tournaments and matches on Nicolet's schedule? Appreciate the help you've already provided and any more you might be able to. Thanks.

Mellisa Morello is an Outside, Rachel is a setter. Dana plays opposite

Matches - Homestead and Germantown are always the big ones

Tournaments
Not as clear as we are always on the road, I know they go to Muskego and host their own tournament at Nicolet, the Britany Gigl memorial touranment.

Thanks. All this help should make this year's previews much better than last year's. Should be a fun season. Good luck to the Knights. In today's preview, we predicted the Nicolet boys would return to state. Fortunately, our prediction for girls D1 sectional five won't occur until later this month. It's gonna be a tough sectional and a really, really hard one in which to predict a winner. Thanks again for the help.
