After the opening week of the season, the Mountain Division standings are already taking early shape as all of the teams saw action last week.
At the Scotch-Plains Fanwood Tourney this past weekend, Linden, New Providence and SHS met each other in non-regular season action that produced some exciting volleyball action and early previews of future encounters.
SHS dropped 2 sets to Linden (25-15, 25-18 and continued to struggle versus New Providence losing to the Pioneers in the quarterfinals 25-16.
Meanwhile, New Providence took 2 sets from Linden in their bracket matchup.
As of 9/12, the Mountain Division looks this way:
1st- Linden 2W-0L
2nd- Kent Place 1W-0L
3rd- New Providence 1W-0L
4th- SHS 1W-1L
5th- Union 1W-1L
6th- Plainfield 0W-2L
7th- Rahway 0W-2L
SHS has a tough away match versus Linden on Wednesday as the team will attempt to make adjustments from this weekend's matchup and earn a victory over the Linden Tigers.
The team comes back on Friday and hosts the Union Farmers whom they split with last year, winning a 2-1 decision at home and dropping a 2-0 decision away. The team will still be without the services of Libero Captain Emani Miles for the week although Jocelyn Mendes looks ready to return on Wednesday and Amanda Fonseca is day-to-day at this point with a heel bruise.
The JV Squad enters the week 2W-0L and hopes to buck the losing streak from last year to Union. SHS was overpowered by the Farmers both at home and away as Union beat the 2-0 both home and away and Summit was no match for the height and serving prowess of the Farmers. JV earned a split with the Tigers last year, beating Linden early away but dropping a 3 set decision late at home.
A 4W-0L start would be the best start of any JV Squad in SHS's history.
