Wauconda High School wins ZONI Sportsmanship Banner
Wauconda High School’s varsity volleyball was recently awarded ZONI’s Sportsmanship banner. The banner is given to the school whose players, coaches, and fans exhibit the best sportsmanship throughout a season. ZONI members rate their top schools. The team with the overall highest score is awarded a banner. Other schools that score well in the balloting are awarded certificates. For a list of current and past winners, please see our Sportsmanship page.

ZONI is proud of all of our winners. The Sportsmanship Awards are given to further one of ZONI’s goals: to support and encourage attitude and behavior that reflects positively on interscholastic volleyball.

Looie Green wins IHSA Boys Volleyball Official of the Year

It is my pleasure to announce to you that we have within our membership the IHSA Boys Volleyball Official of the Year. Looie Green was presented this award at the Officials Conference held this past weekend in Peoria. I know that some of you were down there to witness this and offer your congratulations to Looie.

Those who know Looie know that he is not one to stand out in the spotlight or look for this type of accolade, no matter how well-deserved they may be. He is a person who goes about the business of officiating and does a fantastic job, always looking to improve both himself and his partner. I would like to ask you to take a few moments and send Looie a quick note of congratulations on his award. For those of you that do not have it, Looie’s e-mail address is:

looieg60@gmail.com

Thank you for your help in supporting one of our own.

Mark Trapp
ZONI Board President

Whistle for a Cause 2010 Clinic — A HUGE Success!

ZONI held a very successful Whistle for a Cause Clinic this at Glenbard East High School in Lombard on March 13, 2010. Over 150 people attended, and over $4,000 was raised to purchase volleyball equipment for schools that are trying to make great strides with their programs but lack even the most basic equipment.

Thank you very much to Glenbard East High School, our clinicians, and everyone who made a donation!
