As the new season approaches, Valier must begin to work on accomplishing a new goal - getting back to the State C Tournament. That could be harder than it sounds, as Valier will once again lose two starters, only this time the loss may be even more detrimental to the squad.<br>Along with Brophy, the team s most-valuable-player last season, the Lady Panthers said goodbye to their three-year starting setter Hayley Powers. Their one-two combination was a wonderful asset to the team, and Hofstad will have the complicated task of working to adequately replace them by making her team more defensively minded.  This team has a goal to make it back to the state tournament, says the coach,  To do that, we will have to be a lot quicker, and be a scrappier team instead of a power team. BFS dot drill helps with that. <br>No matter what the future holds for this team, they have experienced the sweet success that comes with working to be better, faster, and stronger. Nothing can overshadow the accomplishments last season s team made; those will live forever. Instead it s the Valier Volleyball Tea s mission to justify those achievements by using their determination to work even harder next season. helmet, says Conboy.  The trouble is you can t put anything over the cut without affecting the vision we ve tried many things, and we re still trying. Of course, if he didn t play against CSU we could have taken the stitches out, but I d hate to have been the guy who would have to tell Gizzi he couldn t play! <br>In his 42 years with the team Conboy has seen many great football players, and he gives Gizzi the highest praise.  He s one of the best ever, and fits the mold of all the good ones we ve had. McCombs agrees,  We ve bee fortunate around here to have had many great linebackers Terry Maki, Steve Russ, Brian Hill and Gizzi is right in there he s one of those great linebackers. <br>Although he has certainly earned the respect of his coaches nd teammates, it wasn t always that way.  I remember coming in here and just wanting to contribute to the team, says Gizzi, who turns 23 in March.  I wasn t heavily recruited by a lot of schools, and the Academy gave me a chance. I wanted to do my best, and I m pleased with the way things have gone. <br>One factor that helped him achieve his accomplishments was a strong base strength that he built at Cleveland St. Ignatius High School in his hometown of Brunswick, Ohio. The school is a perennial high school powerhouse and was ranked by USA Today as number one. It has a great program by Chuck Kyle, and Gizzi has nothing but fond memories of his high school athletic career.  We pretty much follow the BFS program, with plyos Monday and Friday. It was a tremendous program that helped me form good habits that I ve been able to build upon. <br>When asked if he wanted to recognize any major influences on his success, Gizzi didn t hesitate to mention his high school coach, who he says was never too busy to help him with his off-season training. In addition, Gizzi says he s thankful for his lifting buddies who were always there to push him and help him out.<br>Gizzi s influence is still present at his high school. Says Coach Kyle,  G
