South Florida Volleyball Club (SFVC) Players make their Presence Known

We are posting an interesting story that was in Wednesday the 30th edition of the Miami Herald about a successful middle school program that feeds talented players into the high school level. What's interesting is that many of these girls also belong to a USAV club.

St. Rose of Lima School in Miami Shores has been very good to Chaminade-Madonna volleyball in Hollywood. One of its alums, sophomore 6-0 middle hitter Brianna O'Neil, has led the Lions to a 12-2 mark this season.

O'Neil, a Miami Shores resident, competed for St. Rose of Lima from 6th to 8th grades. She joined Chaminade in her freshman season, along with hitter/libero April Sicam and middle blocker Michelle Wade, two more current sophomores who also played at St. Rose of Lima.

``We're a package deal,'' O'Neil joked. ``We're friends. We go to school together. We car-pool together. We play volleyball together.''

The three also compete for the South Florida Volleyball Club. O'Neil added: ``We three stick together, and there's never a dull moment with us.''
