Recently, we named Marcie Hampton our volleyball player of the decade and 2003 GHS as the volleyball team of the decade. Talking with Buchholz coach Jeff Reavis about the picks, he suggested compiling an all-decade team. Sounded good to me. I even added a second team.

Please feel free to respond with selections of your own (but be nice… we had some real, um, socially challenged folks respond a few months back to the all-decade boys basketball team, and these teams were not easy to choose).

My teams will include seven players in order to account for a libero. All players named were in the Classes of 2000-09. And I know there were a lot of great players that didn’t make either team. That’s why I’d love to see teams from all of you out there.

Here goes …
