This week we have the pleasure of spot-lighting a unique team that is filled with talented ALL-State and All-County top performers. Several members of the team will be playing for universities nest season.
SPOTLIGHT IS ON: THE BOOMERS 18 ELITE
Many of these players came from different schools accustomed to be the top player or one of the top players from their respective school. On this team, they have had to deal with different roles and have had to learn to play together. Add a coaching change where head coach Todd Raasch had to leave due to a new job with Boston College mid way through the season and you would think this team would fall apart. Nothing could be further from the truth. The players and new Head Coach Lynze Roos continue being committed to winning.
New Head Coach Lynze Roos is in her third season at the helm of the Lynn University volleyball team. Already the all-time winning head coach in program history, she has developed the Fighting Knights into one of the premier squads in the Sunshine State Conference and has the Blue and White knocking on the door of national prominence. She has brought her presence and leadership to the Boomers team and has helped guide this talented team to the USAV Junior Olympics.
It is time that we meet the dynamic group of players that make up this years Boomers 18 Elite Team:
