Nutter Center new experience for state volleyball teams
FAIRBORN — Mary Anne Souder, the Dublin High School volleyball coach, brought her team to the Nutter Center to look at the arena, the locker rooms and everything else that seems bigger than other gyms in which the team has played.
Even the floor was a challenge.
“We told them to look at the shoes of the person across the net, reset your distance,” Souder said. “In this huge gym, we were thinking, ‘Oh, we can serve farther than before,’ but we can’t, it’s still the same size on the court.”
Dublin Coffman didn’t have too much trouble adjusting. The Shamrocks, in their first state tournament appearance, rolled into Saturday’s final with a three-set sweep of Stow-Munroe Falls in a Division I semifinal on Thursday, Nov. 12, and improved their record to 29-0.
Speaking of dominance, Coffman has only lost one set all season, against Cincinnati Mount Notre Dame in the regional final.
For each team at the state volleyball tournament, though, the experience in the Nutter Center is a new one.
“This isn’t like any gym we’ve played in,” Souder said.
