The final team to preview from the Gold division is Gaithersburg. Gaithersburg is led by the longest tenured varsity volleyball in MCPS, Michele Staymates. In 2016 Gaithersburg posted their first losing season since the 1990's, an impressive streak. However, the 2017 wasn't able to return Gaithersburg to their traditional winning ways. The 2017 team finished 6-9 overall and 6-8 in the regular season. Gaithersburg will play the exact same schedule as last year (no tournaments).
Key Questions for Gaithersburg? -Can they return to their traditional winning ways? -Who are the key returning/new players? -Can Gaithersburg challenge for the top teams in MCPS?

Gaithersburg has all the elements to do well this year. I am not a G'Burg parent but I have seen them in the preseason. They have two really tall middles who block and hit well. Most of the hits are not crushing blows but they score all the time because they contact really high. And then every so often they really connect. And they also have two outsides who strike the ball really well. I am pretty sure their setter is a freshman and she moves the ball around well. Gaithersburg should do really well this year.

Kind of surprised to see Gaithersburg lost to Watkins Mill and Richard Montgomery. Could anyone who attended those matches comment on what happened? Were the sets close?

I believe Gaithersburg defeated Watkins Mill in 3 and lost to RM in 4. Where did you see that Gaithersburg lost to WM? Need to get that corrected. Scott

I saw it first on Bill's Power Score thread and it is the same from the countysportszone web site. Maybe it was reported wrong there?
