Tigers are ......State Champions!
Thursday, November 19
State Finals!
LAKELAND. In their first trip to the state championships since 1999, the Tigers are prepped and ready. A tough season schedule and intense intra-squad pratices have brought Martin County this far and they are not ready to relinquish their goal- a 5A State Championship. In the semifinal match against Lithia-Newsome, the Tigers were relentless and pounced on the unsuspecting Wolves. A big lead in set one brought the them to a 25-15 win. Newsome dug in and held a 15-15 tied score in the second set before County ran off a 10-1 run to end it 25-16. The last set (25-14) was much of the same and allowed County to end with a 3-0 sweep. The finals match against Leon will be played tonight at 7pm. Go Tigers! Wednesday, November 18
District and Region Roundup- On to States!
STUART. It's an early morning here in Stuart where the Tigers are waking to a brand new day, one that will take them to exactly the place they wanted to be back in August- Lakeland and the state championships. County rolled through districts, sweeping foes Sebastian and South Fork on their way to a first round regional matchup (their 20th straight trip to regionals) with Melbourne HS. Another sweep there and the South Fork Bulldogs took another shot... and ended their season with their 51st straight loss to Martin County. After three sets in the regional finals against St. Thomas Aquinas, the Raiders provided the Tigers with a tough challenge and a 2-1 deficit. A gritty, never say die effort from County took them out of that hole and outstanding play ans senior leadership propelled the team to their first state championship trip since 1999. Ten years is a long time to wait between trips and the Tigers hope to cap one of the most successful seasons in their history with a 5A State Championship and make the trip more of an annual thing. The Semifinal match is today against Lithia-Newsome HS (20-7). The 29-1 Tigers are looking to close out their season with a couple more wins and cement their place in history- let's go Champs! Saturday, October 24
24 wins and 1 Loss
STUART. These Tigers are flying high after one of the best seasons in County history. Highlighted by two wins over rival Jensen Beach, two tournament championships, and current #12 national ranking from prepvolleyball.com, the Tigers will head into the post season with high hopes and their eyes on the biggest prize of them all- a 5A State Championship. The road behind lays littered with top teams. County has knocked off last year's 6A state champs Timber Creek and perenially 3A powerhouses Berkeley Prep and Bishop Moore, the numbers 4 and 5 ranked teams in 5A, and the numbers 2 and 4 ranked teams in 4A. The road ahead will be tough and paved with oppenents who'd like nothing better than to knock the Tigers out- South Fork, Palm Bay, St. Thomas, Leon, Venice. Each of these talented teams would love to take County's place in history. The Tigers' goal is a 31-1 final record and their date with destiny. Thursday, October 22
Jensen and John Carroll
JENSEN BEACH and STUART. The Tigers wanted to end the regular season on a high note and needed strong efforts from the team in order to make this happen. Tuesday night in front of a record crowd at Jensen Beach, County legitimized ther claim as the top team in the area with a four set victory. The two teams traded kills all night long until the fourth set when the Tigers finally put Jensen away. Thursday night's home match was Senior Night against John Carroll. All six seniors began the night together and motivated their team to victory in three straight sets. Senior co-captains Elise Walch and Lauren Brinskelle began their varsity careers four seasons ago, Kayla Cormier and Kelly Brown joined the varsity as sophomores, and Monica Meyer and Lexis Lloyd (transfer) were added this season. Each has made wonderful contributions to both the skill level and the cohesiveness of the squad and we hope they can all end their Tiger careers as Champions. Friday, October 16
County Alumni Make Waves
Several former Tigers have continued their stellar careers and winning ways at the college level over the years. This fall, six such alumni either are leading their teams or play key roles in the the success of their programs. In her senior season, Katie Beale is the kills leader for Flagler University. Just one year removed from their Tiger days, Allison Lewen and Remick Tiller are filling key roles for Berry College and Belmont Abbey University. Remick leads her squads in digs and Allison has been one of her squad's go to hitters. Ater setting all sorts of records at the helm of the Tigers, Rachael Albright continues to play her way to success at Kennesaw State as the team's leading setter. Just to the south Allie Warren continues in the long line of Warren family success at Palm Beach Atlantic. And last, but not least, Rachel Cuthrell has joined the Coast Guard Academy team this season and already leads the team in blocks. In the coaching ranks is Kelly Morrisroe who was named one of the AVCA's 30 under 30 in 2009 for her work as the number one assistant at Eckerd College. We wish these Tigers best of luck over the remainders of their volleyball careers as they pave the way for the present and future Tiger players. MCVB4L! Thursday, September 24
There's No Place Like Home
STUART. The friendly confines of the home gym seems to be a winning formula for the Tigers. No long bus rides, no dark confined volleyball courts- just the bright, airy, and loud home court at the Don Wallen gymnasium. County welcomed visiting Okeechobee tonight. The JV 1 team opened with a two game sweep 25-13, 25-22 behind the offense of Tierney Seman (8 kills) and Madison Arnold (5 kills). Serving up all sorts of difficulty for the Brahman's were Danielle Dodge, Madison Arnold, and Saige Popson with 2 aces each. The Brahman varsity played excellent defense against the County attack, but in the end the Tiger hitters prevailed in a three set victory 25-13, 25-15, 25-17. Setters Kayla Cormier (12 assists) and Mallori Moffat (11 assists) fueled the offensive fires from 21 Lexis Lloyd digs. Senior Elise Walch led the way with 18 kills and 6 blocks and Molly O'Neil added 12 kills. Lauren Brinskelle and Nicole Walch provided strong serving to keep the Okeechobee hitters silent. County now rests on a 15-1 record heading into a holiday shortened bye week. Next Up will be Jupiter and then the Tampa Invitational in October. Wednesday, September 23

Breakthrough!
STUART. The volleyball news out of Matin County has been good. A 7-1 record that includes a close loss to national top 20 Plant has caught the eye of writers at Prepvolleyball.com. the Tigers had made the "on the bubble" listing of the top 100 teams in the country numerous times before busting through with a #78 a national ranking from the volleyball news service this week. Heading into this weekend's East Coast Challenge, Martin County will have the opportunity to win their own tournament for the first time. Such an accomplishment will take quite an effort from the squad. The Tigers will have to beat perennial Tennessee power Brentwood as well as former ECC champs Grissom (Alabama) to even get to the finals. Coach Bielicki's team has worked hard to develop a winning formula and will put their practice to the test tonight. Good Luck Tigers. Wednesday, September 16
Tigers Tame St. Thomas
STUART. St. Thomas' JV fared better than their varsity night winning a tight three set match against the Tigers. The County varsity was able to dispatch the Raiders in straight sets- 25-18, 25-23, 25-16 ending a ten year losing streak to St. Thomas. Leading the way for the Tigers was senior libero Lexis Lloyd (23 digs). Time and time again, she was there to stop a Raider rally. Martin County will take an 8-1 record into this weekend's East Coast Challenge. Tuesday, September 15
Senior Ace!

County Sinks the Sharks
STUART. Sebastian River's days of glory are a fading memory. If the Sharks entered the Don Wallen gymnasium with any thoughts of recapturing that glory, the idea was washed away during warm-ups and non-existant after the first booming County kill. A 10-1 Tiger lead in the first set brought a time out from the Sebastian coach and a 20-2 lead brought the second. The first set mercifully ended at 25-3 behind 9 Elise Walch kills and 11 service points from Mallori Moffat. Unfortunately for the Sharks, set two began and ended in similar fashion- a 25-7 County win. Coach Bielicki's second team handled both the second as well as the third set win for a Tiger victory. The team's record stands at 7-1 heading into tomorrows key matchup with St. Thomas Aquinas Go get 'em Tigers. Sunday, September 13
Tigers Place 2nd in Gainesville
GAINESVILLE. In the best tournament showing by a Tigers squad in a decade, Martin County stormed into Gainesville and placed second overall losing only by the slightest of margins to National top 20 and three time defending 5A State Champs Tampa Plant HS in the tournament championship. In a back and forth battle featuring three of the top senior recruits in the state,the Tigers and Panthers slugged it out. Thundering attacks and point saving digs on both sides of the net kept the match close. Plant escaped with twin 25-23 victories in sets one and two before County inched ahead for their own 25-23 set three win. Too many unforced errors doomed the Tigers in the deciding fourth set as Plant marched to a 25-12 win for the match victory. On Friday night, County (5-1) won their pool round with straight set wins over Durant 25-21, 25-10, Colombia 25-11, 25-22, and Gainesville 25-18, 25-7. They beat Orlando Bishop Moore 25-23, 23-25, 25-14, 14-25, 15-7 in Saturday morning's semifinals to get to the championship. Sisters Elise and Nicole Walch were named to the All Tournament team. |
