When Randy Dagostino talks volleyball, people listen.
When Randy Dagostino says if Hillsborough and Pinellas county public schools added boys volleyball, the Bay Area would not only rule the state of Florida, but the Southeast.
But the former Berkeley Prep coach and club volleyball patriarch can only wonder what if, for now. Berkeley Prep, the reigning state champs, is one of the few boys volleyball programs on the West Coast of Florida.
And some Pinellas County volleyball fans want to do something about that.
Several parents have banded together in an effort to have boys volleyball added to public high schools in Pinellas County. Andrew Strong, whose son plays middle school volleyball, commissioned a petition to gain support. And three boys tried out for the Seminole High team to shine a spotlight on the issue.
