Delli’s Top 10 Volleyball Rankings: Week 5
1. Carroll 20-0
Big wins in the last two weeks over Bellmont and Andrean keep them on top. Their final 9 games include Delta, Westfield, Yorktown, Concordia, Blackhawk Christian, Homestead, Muncie Burris, Leo, and Angola. Good grief!
2. Angola 14-0
Took down their rivals Bellmont in straight sets over the weekend plus a big win over Northwood as well. Big matchup this week with Homestead at home. Looming matches with Garrett, Busco, and Carroll.
3. Heritage 15-2
They beat a good South Adams team last week but have a tough schedule remaining. Woodlan this week and Dwenger should get them battle-tested for the home stretch.
4. Bellmont 16-5
The toughest schedule continues! A loss to Angola and a win over Northwood keep them at #4. They play Leo Thursday then they will have some easy wins on the schedule. Some rest will help this team recharge before Sectionals.
5. Homestead 15-2
A good win over Covington keeps them at #5. They play Angola this week then will finish up Carroll and Woodlan.
6. Blackhawk Christian 20-2
They beat Concordia for the 1st time in school history on Thursday in a thriller. Also had good wins over Woodlan and Pioneer before they got beat by an improving Leo team. They play Carroll and Dwenger in the coming weeks.
7. Woodlan 11-4
Tough week for the Warriors. Loses to Blackhawk, Pioneer and Angola have them reeling a bit. They play some of the area’s best down the stretch. Heritage, South Adams, and Homestead in the final 2 weeks.
8. South Adams 17-4
Another good week for the Starfires! I will not dock them for a loss to #3 Heritage. They’ve got matchups with Woodlan and their rivals Adams Central to end the season. I like this team to make a deep run in the postseason.
9. Concordia 11-10
They went 3-2 this week losing to 2 very good teams in Blackhawk and Valpo. This team is improving every week! Starting to get production from others not named Loyer. I wouldn’t want to draw them in the sectionals. Their just dangerous enough to spoil someone’s party!
10. Leo 11-7
Five wins this week have them heading in the right direction. Blackhawk being one of their victims. 9 matchups in the final 2 weeks will be tough, especially having Bellmont and Carroll still to play. Another possible sleeper in a tough sectional.
