Kennedy sr. boys volleyball head coach Andrew Papadopoulos really likes what he's getting out of his grade 10 setter Kyle Trieu so far this season. "Kyle's a real gamer. He knows how to lock in. He plays like a senior already."
His leadership was in full display Tuesday against Catholic Central. Trieu was the player setting the tone for the Clippers and engaging the spirit of his teammates between points in a 2-1 loss to the Comets.
"It feels good getting the kill when I set the ball. Sometime the passes don't go so well but I still make it work with the choices I have." Trieu told Powerplay Sports.
Papadopoulos feels Trieu is already one of the best setters in the league and there's still a lot of ceiling to hit with his rookie. "Yours truly did a little setting in WECSSAA back in his day and I'm just looking to pass on some good knowledge to him." said Papadopoulos, a 2016 Clippers grad.
He points out Trieu, who is still new to the game, is now playing club with Sky Volleyball and has brought that experience and energy to Kennedy, who fell to 2-1 on the season Tuesday following a spirited (19-25, 25-19, 22-25) match against the Comets.
"We have really good chemistry. We like playing together."
