Not once.
Twice.
Blair called her own number in the gold medal match — and no one saw it coming.
In the biggest match of the year.

Blair said “you’re not ready for the second one.” 😮‍💨 #volleyball #settergoals #setter #usavnationals

Most teams? Done.
But Houston Skyline 17 Royal didn’t flinch.
They locked in, ran the table — nine wins in a row — and shocked the field.
Topped it off by taking down powerhouse TAV 17 Black in the final.
From nearly out in pool play to standing tall at the top of the ...podium.
They only finished outside the Top 10 once all year.
And they saved their best for last.
Respect the fight. Celebrate the finish.
