14 White-Brooke

Well- “We had a great time,” said coach Brooke Todd of the 14 White BT team. The girls went to Spokane on a mission… They accomplished some goals and left a couple unfinished. They came to win and win they did, but not the entire Pacific Northwest Qualifier. Overall, Asics Willowbrook 14 White BT left with a winning record and even played some great games, close games in the process. They had their ups and downs, but overall, they had lots of fun and the team bonded better than ever. The team played some awesome teams and scared some folks in the process, not to mention, taking the 2nd overall seeded team to three, in front of a stunned crowd of hundreds, on the first day. The team, a local favorite, University Place Volleyball Club of Steilacoon, WA, who went on to win the entire tournament, had not seen a serve-receive so receptive to their serves in some time, said assistant coach Keith Slade. The entire gang had some great times eating out as a team and celebrating some birthdays while the parents bonded as well. And- Even got to watch the UH game on TV that was taking place right down the road. On Sunday, some of the girls took advantage of the free time and trekked into the mountains for some tubing in the snow. One of the most memorable moments of the trip was when the girls and coach donned their homemade Dig Pink T-shirts they made especially for the trip in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness. Coach Todd, said, “I was very impressed with the overall participation regarding the event as my sister is a survivor and so is Kelly Harris, one of our moms ." "Now we take the experience and use it to our advantage to help grow the girls even more for the rest of the year," said Brooke.

Spokane - 14 White Brittany

Way to go 14 White BP! They had an outstanding tournament in Spokane, WA. Going into the tournament, the girls (and parent's) did not know what to expect. Not only were they missing a couple players, they were going in with a new coach filling in for Brittany. Carey Todd took the team and challenge on and with nothing but high expectations! The first day, the girls were 2-1 in match pool play and 5-2 in games. On day 2 though, the level of play was stepped up! The girls went in with the attitude of we deserve to be in the gold bracket and we will not settle for anything less! They did just that! Going 3-0 in match play and 6-0 in games, the defeated the #5 and #9 overall seeds of the tournament taking over the overall 5th seed! On day 3, they showed up defeating Xtreme 14 Purple from Houston in two games which advanced them to the Quarterfinals of the gold bracket. The next match was a battle and they were defeated 13-15 to send them home. The girls were amazing and we are so proud of their accomplishments of bringing home a 5th place finish!

Great job 14 White BP and continue the success throughout the season!! It was a pleasure coaching you this past weekend and I hope you learned that you can do anything you put your mind and heart into!
Carey D. Todd

It has been very busy around Willowbrook. A few weeks ago was the Tour Qualifier. In Austin, we had 13 Red qualify for the Tour of Texas. Congratulations to them!

This past weekend we had the Houston Power League again at Willowbrook. All of our teams 12s-15s played and did a great job. We are so proud of all the progress they are making.

14 White-Brooke

So- there they were seated third in their pool and after the first match, they then realized why... Well-that is where they finished on Saturday and though it is not what most teams strive for, Asics Willowbrook 14 White BT were pleasantly delighted based on the talent in their pool. And- they were not out of contention yet. 14 White BT was given a lifeline via a crossover match later Saturday evening. They won in two and everyone witnessed a new team emerging.

The topper to the evening, besides winning, was all of the support from the other white team- 14 White BP, their parents and a surprise visit by a dear friend and guest of coach Brooke Todd, who came to support the girls. Former Willowbrook player and UT Middle Blocker, Jen Doris paid them a visit and cheered the team to victory. She took the time to meet and greet the girls and posed for team pictures afterwards. She was such a sport, she even showed up on Sunday to watch their pool. Great to see such alumnus support!

These girls have come so far and more importantly, they are having a great time. As coach, Brooke said, "We could not have made it so far without help from every single player on this team- These Girls Rock!"


"We didn’t qualify, but, we played hard, fought like champs and learned much from a wonderful weekend of volleyball and bonding and that is all you can ask for!" said coach Todd.

Go Asics Willowbrook 14 White BT!!!!!!
