When Paraclete competed last season at the Pasadena Poly girls' volleyball tournament, veteran coach Margaret Neill had all three standouts in her lineup, although even their efforts weren't enough to capture the title. Paraclete didn't win the 17th annual event Saturday at Pasadena Poly High, but the Spirits' performance gave Neill hope that her team will be successful this season despite the loss of such a formidable trio. Paraclete lost -- 25-19, 25-27, 15-4 -- in the semifinals to champion Village Christian, finishing 5-4 on the day, including a split with runner-up Pasadena Poly. ``In pool play, I thought they did a good job,'' said Neill, whose team had finished in a three-way tie for first with Pasadena Poly and Calvary Chapel Calvary Chapel is a non-denominational, Protestant fellowship of churches which began in 1965 in Southern California.

Neill knows the mixture of raw talent and inexperience can lead to flashes of brilliance and moments of frustration. ``That pretty much summed up that (Village Christian) match right there,'' she said. ``Unfortunately, there was more hair pulling than there was brilliance. ``But it's a good barometer of where we're at, and I like where we're at for right now.'' Bragging rights: Power rankings will be at stake when Paraclete plays host to defending Golden League champion Quartz Hill at 6 p.m. today.
