Impressive stuff from the Bluejays. I've really been impressed with GACC in their last three matches.

The Bluejays (5-3) host Boone Central/Newman Grove (1-1) Thursday night.

The Cardinals lost 3-2 at home to O'Neill Thursday night.

BC/NG appears to be a much improved team, having beaten West Point-Beemer 3-1 in their season opener.

I think GACC will win being at home and given the way they've been playing lately, but the Cardinals figure to come ready to play, you can bet that much.

The Bluejays need to continue to get great contributions from Hass, Knobbe, Plagge, Engelmeyer, Timmerman, Bailey, and others.

GACC appears to be coming together as a team, and that's a really good sign.

The Bluejays can go a long ways this year if they keep playing like this.

GACC has tough matches next week against Wayne and O'Neill so the Bluejays need to play well Thursday night in order to get ready for those two contests.

GACC can't afford to overlook Boone Central/Newman Grove by any means though.

The Bluejays have to come out ready to play and must play up to their potential Thursday night.

I feel like GACC is kind of starting to get back to their old selves and winning ways.

The Bluejays could very well return to the glory they've had in years past and make another run at state.

There's still a long ways to go and a lot to be decided yet, but GACC appears to be a legit and top contender.

I feel the Bluejays are going to be tough for anyone to beat from here on out, and really like how GACC is playing right now.

The Bluejays have to continue to play great and spectacular Volleyball, and must keep getting better.

GACC still has a long ways to go to get to where they want, but they can definitely get there.

All it takes is continued hard work and perseverance to get to where they want.

The Bluejays can take another step towards doing so with another win Thursday night over the Cardinals.
