SpikeFest
What: 10th annual CCISD McDonald’s SpikeFest volleyball tournament.
Where: at Carroll H. S. and Ray H. S.
When: The tournament begins with today’s 11:30 a.m. pool play matches and with Saturday’s 9 a.m.
bracket play matches.
The skinny: Defending tournament champion Calallen is among the 32-team field, as are other
area teams: Aransas Pass, Beeville, Carroll, Flour Bluff, Gregory-Portland, King, Moody,
Miller, Orange Grove, Ray, Refugio, Skidmore-Tynan, Sinton, Taft, Three Rivers, West Oso
and Woodsboro.
Youth Sports Calendar: 08.21.07 Belmontes breezes by for opening round win Twice as
nice: Calallen grabs SpikeFest title
ropical Storm Erin has passed and the 10th annual CCISD McDonald's SpikeFest high school
volleyball tournament is proceeding as planned.
The 32-team tournament begins at 11:30 a.m. today with eight pool play matches at two
different sites and continues through Saturday's 2:30 p.m. championship division title
match at Ray High School.
"We were on hold (because of the storm) to see if we were going to have to make any
changes to the tournament but we're good now," CCISD athletic director Brenda Marshall said.
"(Because of Corpus Christi's recent water problem), we also have some backup water bottles
if we need them and we're sanitizing the ice machines (at the tournament sites Carroll High
School and Ray High School as a precaution) as well."
While this year's tournament is smaller than last year's 40-team field, Marshall said that
having eight fewer teams makes the tournament "more manageable" considering all of the
matches can now be played at just two sites.
Despite the large amounts of rainfall in Central Texas because of the storm,
Marshall said the original tournament field will remain the same, as teams such as
Class 5A San Marcos and Fort Worth-area Class 2A school Peaster are still planning to
travel to Corpus Christi to play in the tournament.
Last year, Calallen became the first volleyball team from Corpus Christi since 1999
(when King won it) to win the tournament's championship division.
The Wildcats will look to extend that streak to two in a row this weekend, although area
volleyball heavyweights Carroll, Flour Bluff, King, Sinton and West Oso, among others,
could have something to say about that as well.
"We definitely want to win the SpikeFest tournament again this season," Calallen
volleyball coach Lupe Cardona said. "We have nine seniors and they want to play their
best because they know they won't get (another chance) to next year."
