SHE IS ... THE ROLEDATOR
Kimmee Roleder let Arcadia talk, then she and her teammates walked the walk.
Roleder had 36 kills and 13 in the pivotal fourth game, a 25-21 squeaker that paved the way for the five-game victory.
The USC-bound senior talked about her extra motivation for the match.
"(Arcadia) was doing so much talking on Myspace." Roleder said. " We came into this game humble and confident, but not cocky. We wanted this win."
The Bulldogs are 6-0 after beating Arcadia for the first time in history on Tuesday.

This is a great Blog!
For the record... I LOVE volleyball, and am closer to it than you think... that's not the point. WHERE ARE THE 400 FANS AND ALL THEIR PASSION ON THIS BLOG? Go get your friends out there to contribute to this site before it's closed!
As you pointed out, the fbers are well represented. You should be asking why Fred has to include my input on a vb thread... the answer: there ARE no others. I am not trying to bash anyone... in fact, I hope you and the rest of the vb nation will jump on this and quit letting a great thread, and others like it, go ignored for 48 hrs!
VB Supp... you are obviously hypersensitive... I NEVER bashed a kid... or the sport... I just questioned your collective passion.
And yes, I am a parent, and am proud of my kids and the kids that represent my school and community... in fact, you can find my positive contributions to this blog on just about every thread. As Fred clarified, my post was intended to raise the number of responses to this and all threads.
... and I have yet to get "ballistic".
VB makes a good point, there's room for everyone. And I can vouch for the roughly 400 fans at the Arcadia-PHS volleyball match, our correpondent, Andrew Campa, said the atmosphere was electric..
BigMLover,
Were you hit in the head with a volleyball as a child or something? What kind of satisifaction do you get ripping the sport? That's the second time you've attacked someone for posting a volleyball comment. Maybe the reason fans don't post is so they don't have deal with guys like you. There are 20 or so football posts here where you can run your smack, why don't you just stick to those?
Football gets 99 percent of the attention during the fall sports season and rightly so. It's the premiere sporting event. However, I don't understand when volleyball or water polo or cross-country asks for 1 percent of attention, FB heads like yourself get all ballistic.
We have kids that play these "minor sports" and would love to see just a little recognition. You said in an earlier thread that you have kids. Yet, you have no problems bashing the kids, coaches and parents that support volleyball.
As for your masses- I was at the PHS-Arcadia volleyball game where there were about 400 people in the gym. I was also at the PHS-West Ranch football game where there were about 200 people, not counting coaches and players.
Yes you're right, football is always going to get more attention than volleyball, but that doesn't mean you should bash the sport or its participants or those who want to talk volleyball.
Why don't you do everyone a favor and just stick to football.
Well, here is your chance to prove Big M wrong...start posting...
From time to time I get emails and phone calls wishing we wrote more on girls volleyball. This is your chance to tell me why we should.
The vacuum caused by these volleyball threads is the reason why the Game of the Week will NEVER feature volleyball... where are the masses that follow this sport? They either don't know what the internet is... or, more likely, volleyball just doesn't stir the passions like hs football.
Sorry...
Hey Fred, great story. How about you make girl's volleyball a game of the week and make a video out of it too. Like those SGVN football highlights cause I can't travel far right now since my car is down for the count. I'm all for football and all that, but you're not going to catch me in a cold night out there in the stands at the fifty yard line when I could be in the warm stands of center court watching the babes battle it out across the net and diving for the kills. Make some of these girls games the video of the week Fred. We need to see the girls in action too.
