West Bloomfield Volleyball Preview.

Written Wednesday October 5th at 11:30 PM

The Dragons are one step away from an outright Red Championship.

Orion will play at West Bloomfield on Thursday night for an opportunity to win the outright Red Crown. If they lose than Clarkston whom will play at Oxford on Thursday will have the opportunity to clinch a share of the division with the Dragons.

West Bloomfield finished 31-10-5 and was 7-0 in the White last season before losing in the district to 
Harrison at home. The move to the Red however has been a grind and a challenge for coach Dana Gray’s team this season.

West Bloomfield just played a five-game set with Harrison on Wednesday night with the Lakers losing at Farmington Hills to the Hawks. West Bloomfield comes into Red play at 0-6.

The Lakers have five seniors they will be honoring on Thursday night.

West Bloomfield has three starters back from last season’s team. They are led by Vanessa Vigier, Audrey Kohl and Nyla Greer. Vigier is the Lakers best player coming into the match against the Dragons while Kohl is a defensive specialist and Greer is an outside hitter.

This will be the first meeting of the season between Orion and West Bloomfield.

Thoughts:

This matchup looks to be a mismatch on paper but the Dragons have been struggling since winning over Clarkston in five games at Clarkston. The Dragons despite winning two games but in four sets haven’t been themselves lately.

West Bloomfield just played a five-game set against Harrison on Wednesday night so conditioning could be an issue here in this one for the Lakers.

West Bloomfield will be in a tough district at Farmington with the likes of Harrison, North Farmington, Farmington, and Farmington Hills Mercy this season.

We’ll see what happens in this matchup.

Here is more on West Bloomfield right here.
