The Mid-Atlantic is the hardest region in the country to write about at this point in the season, and not because the volleyball is thin. Whole public school systems in Maryland and the District have not entered a single number, so the record of what is happening there sits in gym scorebooks and nowhere else. What follows comes from the programs that do report.
