Wins and losses at the Virginia Volleyball Showcase matter. Sort of. “The best thing about this tournament is the learning,“ James River girls coach Micah White said. There was a lot of learning going on amid the victories and defeats at the Richmond Convention Center yesterday. More learning will go on today as 40 girls and 18 boys teams finish up the two-day event that has become a Labor Day weekend fixture for high school volleyball in Virginia.

Tailback Trevor Elie had 103 yards rushing and scored two touchdowns as Atlee edged Benedictine in a nondistrict game at Atlee. Benedictine (0-2) took a 12-7 first-half lead on the second of Isaiah Alston’s two touchdown runs. But Atlee’s Josh Doggett intercepted a pass in the third quarter and returned it to the Cadets’ 5-yard line. Elie scored on the next play for the Raiders (1-0).

in predicted order of finish   2008 records: 6-0 Capital, 12-1
  Offense: The Blue Devils averaged 29 points a game last season behind Trey Johnson (5-10, 170), who rushed for 1,969 yards and 21 TDs, and Hermon Norrell (5-10, 170), who threw for 1,491 and 21 TDs. They return for their senior season with speedy and talented Jerel Harrison becoming the primary WR. Marquis Wallace (6-4, 290, Sr.) stands out on a young line. Finding a place kicker to replace Cory Gay is the toughest task.

Even though high school volleyball matches have been played, the real beginning of the season takes place this weekend with the Virginia Volleyball Showcase at the Richmond Convention Center. Eagle Construction is presenting the 12th edition of the Labor Day weekend tournament that has drawn 40 of the best girls teams, public and private, from across the state. The boys field has grown from 16 to 18 teams this year.
