That Iona's Volley Ball team has two players from Turkey, one from Latavia and one from Rome, Italy? On the domestic front they have a player from Allen HS in Allen, Texas. It's the same school that produced the greatest HS football player in Texas history. And if that's not a recipe for success, I don't know what is.

I realize that this is primarily a BB board, but the following info came to me out of left field (baseball) and thought I'd pass (football) it along. I did know that Walter Camp is credited with starting American football but had no idea why players are called quarterbacks, halfbacks and fullbacks. And you have to keep in mind that when the sport started it was a running game, with the forward pass not in play. I read that the game of FB had a lot of Rugby in it. So it starts with the line of scrimmage and where the four players who are stationed behind the line, stand. Thus we have a guy who is located closest to the line, just a QUARTER back from it. He is backed up by two players, both a HALF back from the LOS. Leaving us with the guy who is a FULL back from the line.
So in a nut (Board Member) shell, I recently learned the above and thought I would share.

Another pearl of wisdom that I recently heard and thought it worth sharing. I call it living in the here and now.

Having international talent and a strong local connection can boost the team's chances. Go Iona's Volleyball! 🏐🌍🇮🇹🇹🇷🇱🇻🇺🇸
