Class M volleyball: Rough start, big finish for RHAM

Defeats Joel Barlow for 4th straight state crown By Matt Buckler Journal Inquirer GLASTONBURY — The RHAM High volleyball’s team’s march to its fourth straight Class M title was interrupted Saturday by a word from coach Tim Guernsey. And they weren’t complimentary words. “In the second game, he called a timeout and Coach got in my face, he got into Kara Trippel’s face and he got into Alicia Trippel’s face,” RHAM’s Chloe Rishell said. “He said our passing was terrible. We weren’t reading the ball. “And we’re the type of players that when you start screaming at us, we’re going to start playing better.” Apparently, a motivated ...

Volleyball: RHAM fights for perfect (25-0) finish

RHAM High girls volleyball player Kelsey Breault said her team is known for its comebacks. It’s also known for something else — winning championships. Those two qualities came together here Saturday as the undefeated Sachems wrapped up a 25-0 season by winning their third straight Class M title with a 3-0 win over Joel Barlow. Game scores were 25-11, 25-22, and 26-24. RHAM trailed Barlow, 24-20 in the third game when it calmly spurted off the final six points to settle the issue in dramatic style. If ever there was a time to examine the championship DNA of the Sachems, the closing ...

New England Roundup: Connecticut

From the ESPN Boston High School area blog Blog by Matt Stout (link) Tim Guernsey answered the question like he’s been asked it a million time before. No, the RHAM volleyball coach doesn’t know how many consecutive games his team has won. Really. “Nope,” he said, chuckling. “I have no idea. It’s for writers.” He does, however, remember the last time the Lady Sachems lost — to Farmington in the Northwest Conference final. In 2007. Nearly three years and three state championships separate then and now. Fifty-three straight wins do, too. But the streak is hardly a concern for RHAM, one of the state’s most dominant programs in ...

RHAM Seniors Not Resting On Laurels

By SHAWN COURCHESNE, scourchesne@courant.com, The Hartford Courant The six seniors on RHAM-Hebron's girls volleyball team have only known success in their careers — the Sachems are the four-time defending state Class M champions.. But coach Tim Guernsey is making sure there's one thing those seniors know, a matter he says keeps complacency after years of success from creeping in. While they may have been part of the title runs, the glory is not theirs. "I think the one thing that I do well is making sure our groups are humble," Guernsey said. "One of the things that we ...
