The end of first semester and the first half of the season always brings some suspense as all varsity athletes are required to pass 6 credits (2 courses) if they wish to be eligible for the second semester. A pass is 60% at Humber College and if you attend classes regularly, study for exams, and complete your assignments it is a fairly easy average to achieve. For some, this is a challenge and a lot of athletes are on edge waiting for their final marks to be released. This year, the men’s team lost one athlete who happens to be our best player and all Canadian. Not only is he Ontario’s best college player, but also is one of the best volleyball players in Canada. When you lose someone with the skills and talent of this individual, it changes the dynamics of a team. Players, who were once role players and supported the play of the ‘go to’ player, now have to shoulder more of the load and take on the responsibility of scoring points and leading the team. This creates an opportunity for guys to step up and take on this new challenge as the team looks to defend its OCAA Championship second semester. The road will definitely be more challenging but the Humber Men’s Volleyball team is very talented and deep group at all positions. Somehow they will find a way to pull through. I hope!
