Yesterday the oft repeated rumors reached a cresendo when Pat
Rucker
who has been running Synergy since
Rich Johnson became ill
gathered some of the teams
together and introduced Missy McLinden
and associates as part of the management team. Pat will continue to
be a part of that management.

Missy is no stranger to
Synergy as she was part of the first years of the club and only recently
left to organize Freedom Volleyball Club.
So she is back and
it is all apparently worked out with the Johnson family to theirs and
her satisfaction.

Missy in her remarks indicated that she
favors a number of
changes in team management as well as
evaluating all activities and attempting to add efficiency and coaching
instruction to the already busy club schedule.

Her associate
Chang Han had some remarks to make but Donna Smith was the
silent third part of the McLinden trio. Both Donna and Chang at one
time or another coached at Synergy. Donna was Head Coach at
Avon Grove High school with Missy her assistant for many years
and now is the Head coach at at Immaculata College. Chang is
the Head Coach at Perkiomen HIgh School.

It is
interesting to observe that the popular acceptance that things
happen in threes should note that from the club volleyball scene
we have seen the demise of Valley Forge Juniors, the illness an
subsequent withdrawal of Rich Johnson from the Philadelphia
volleyball scene and now the emergence of Missy as the new
leader at Synergy.

We wish her well in accomodating
the many cross conflicts that exist and will exist at Synergy. She
assumes control of the club at the completion of the club season
when the last ball is played at this year's National Junior
Championships.
