Hiland, Waynedale, Chippewa, three of the area's top programs do it with SOS

Tough schedule vs getting wins, how playing a tough slate has paid off for a trio of area teams come OHSAA Tournament time
The article from MSN Sports discusses how three of the area's top volleyball programs, Hiland, Waynedale, and Chippewa, have achieved success through a philosophy known as "SOS" or "Serve, Overpass, Stuff." This strategy focuses on aggressive serving to disrupt the opponent's offense, aiming for overpasses which can be easily attacked, and then blocking or "stuffing" these overpasses to score points. Hiland, with its history of state championships, has been particularly noted for its serving prowess, with players like Jada Mullen leading the charge. Waynedale, under coach Lyndsey Beatty, emphasizes a strong defensive game, while Chippewa, coached by Rachelle Strickler, has adapted this strategy to fit their team's strengths, focusing on both serving and blocking. The article highlights how these teams' dedication to this tactical approach has not only led to competitive success but also shaped their volleyball identity in the region.
