You're listening to Rebel 5ive. An interactive interview po dcasts w ith alumni, past and current parents and friends of Roncalli high school. I'm your host, Gary Ar mbruster d irector of alumni and corporate relations at Roncalli. And each week I will ask our guests five questions regarding how their lives have evolved and how key connections of e x perience, opportunity, and alumni networking, have propelled them to where they are today. We'll talk challenges, how to overcome challenges and what they've learned along the way. Stay tuned. Paige Weber is our guest today on the Rebel 5ive podcasts. Paige Welcome, welcome to the podcast. It's so exciting to have you, uh, be part of this. Um, over the course of 50 years of Roncalli, there are a few athletes that, um, I've used this term and I it's cliche, but on the Mount Rushmore of Roncalli female athletes, you are right there, front and center. So thanks for being here on the Rebel 5ive podcasts.
Paige:Wow. No, thank, I thank you for having me. Thank you for the really, really kind words. Um, I'm, I'm excited to be here. So I'm looking forward to talking with you.
Gary:You are in Chicago, you are a third year law student at the university of Chicago. How in the world did that happen? Um, I know that wasn't necessarily on your radar early after leaving Arizona. So kind of talk a little bit about Chicago and what's going on with Corona Virus.
Paige:It's uh, I mean, I guess as best as everybody else in the world is adapting to it right now, too. It really is. Um, I, it's definitely something, I never thought I'd experience, uh, in my lifetime, which you hear from everybody. So it's not really saying much, but, uh, yeah, I'm in Chicago. I currently live actually on the North side of the city. Uh, my university, university of Chicago is on the South side of the city. So prior to this, uh, yeah, I was making a daily commute, um, all the way from North to South, basically almost where I live and where the school is obviously in Chicago proper, but, um, complete opposite sides of the city. So I've cut my commute down by quite a bit, uh, get to commute basically for my, uh, you know, for my kitchen in the morning with my coffee, to do my side room with my makeshift office.
Gary:How did you get from Arizona to playing professional volleyball and pro volleyball? Is that not something that we do here in the United States?
Paige:No, that's, that's all good questions. Um, so I guess I'll start to that point. So we did have a pro volleyball league. I think back when I was 12, it was called the United States professional volleyball. And it didn't, it didn't last very long. Um, I don't know how many seasons it lasts. I went to a game, I think around the time that I was 12. I remember, I think I still have the tee shirt that I bought from the game. I should say, my mom has the tee shirt buried downstairs with all the other stuff. It's still at her house. Um, but I don't think it lasted very long. And then, um, like we have, uh, ABP, which is the sand league and that was around for a long time and then went away for a little while and it's back. So like, we've kind of had it, I think there might be talk that they're going to bring something back professional on, in the U S if they haven't already. But, um, yeah, in general, it's, it's always been much larger overseas. Um, and overseas, meaning like in every other, like South America, Europe, um, Asia. Yeah. I had friends that played all over. So, um, yeah, after, after college, um, I really, I, like I said, wanted to go and play. I was trying to figure out where I was going to go. I did take a year off, um, between graduation and actually starting my first season, but I ended up going to play in Finland. Um, and so I was in this town in the North East portion of Finland called[inaudible]. So it was 13 and a half hours North of Helsinki playing volleyball. Uh, I had two other Americans on the team and then the rest of the team was Finnish. And, um, yeah, it was, it was a great, I, it was a great life experience to be honest. Um, and I obviously I lived what 2000 miles away from home, uh, when I was at Arizona. And what two time zones, maybe, maybe one, depending on what time of the year it was in Arizona because we didn't spring forward and fall back. But I was, I don't know, nine hours. I don't know how many time zones in a country that I didn't speak the language. And I had a great time. I really did. Um, with all the challenges that it presented, it was, it was still, it was one of the greatest experiences that I've had
Gary:Could young Paige Weber, a Saint Mark Lion ever imagine playing volleyball in Finland.
Paige:It's certainly not like there's no way that I would have ever thought that that was possible as a, as a young st. Mark lion, no way.
Gary:Speaking of the Saint Mark Lions, I know that's where you, uh, attended grade school. And so I want to take us back a few years to the CYO. At what point, playing CYO for Saint Mark did Paige Weber say, you know, kickball is probably not going to be my sport. Maybe basketball is not even going to be my sport. Volleyball's where I'm going to hang my hat. How did that all transpire?
Paige:I can actually remember the conversation. I think I had with my, with my parents when I told them I was like ready to commit to volleyball, um, because you know, I, and I think there's, I have so much respect for multi-sport athletes. I think it is. It's exceptionally hard to be good at a sport, let alone to be good at multiple sports. Um, and there's so many benefits that come from it. And I think back, and I'm like, man, I wonder, I wonder how many, like how much better at certain things I could have been if I had stuck with any other sport, but alas, here we are. And so I can vividly remember telling my parents that I, that I didn't want to play any other sports. I didn't want to play basketball. Uh, which, you know, was like mildly shocking. Uh, yeah. I, I think he was kind of like, okay, so like, what else are we going to do? You know, like, um, because I was tall and, you know, and, and it's Indiana. And so it's like, well, naturally let's go down this path. Um, but I think I remember telling my mom, or at least I remember thinking internally, like volleyball is so much better than basketball. Like I do not have to touch people, but I can still like hit things at them. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I liked the, um, I liked the, the competitiveness of basketball, but honestly I was at aside from being tall, I was kind of small and I, and I, I wasn't able to like, hold my own, like physically as a force on the court. And I just was like, man, I'm just getting thrown around. And then volleyball. It was like, you know, it's physical, there's jumping there's, but there's a net. And like, no one has to touch me like this is, of course, you know, you do get hit, uh, you just get hit with a wall, you know, many times and sometimes in the face, which is just like, you know, great. It's just unpredictable, but,
Gary:well, it's one thing to choose to play volleyball, but at what point did you say, you know, I could be pretty good at this.
Paige:Wow. Um, yeah, I don't even know to be honest. Um, I don't, I don't really think that I ever thought I really never thought that I can remember. Um, I can remember when I told my parents that, like I was gonna, that I was gonna play in college. Like that, that was what that's, what was going to do. I just set my mind to it. You know, my parents were like, okay, like, that's great, like great goal. But I think they were also like, you know, that may not happen. And so as parents do, they're like, okay, we're going to be really supportive about this. But like, you know, we're, we're also gonna sit here and try to, you know, make sure that this isn't, you know, something that is completely out of left field. I actually think I was probably 15 years old when I had one of my coaches who was the first one that was like, I think, I think you're going to be, you could be really good at this, which was just something I hadn't really thought of. I truly just loved playing the game. I just enjoyed it. My dad used to tell me, growing up, like the first day that you look at me, you tell me, you don't want to go to practice is probably the first day that we need to look at you doing something else. Because if you're not willing to put in the work for something, then you can't be good at it. Like it's, it's just the way that it goes. And I can like actively think back on my time playing. And there was never a day that I woke up and was not excited to go to practice. Like even on the days that I knew it was going to be absolutely miserable. You, I didn't have like this lightening moment where I was like, this is for me, it's just, it just was always something that I was just wanting to do. And I think it was eventually interactions with other people that made me say like, maybe I should start taking this very seriously.
Gary:Going back to the CYO. Did you have team success at st. Mark?
Paige:Oh, we had, we did. We had some, but I'll be honest. We had the team success with my year. We had, when we were paired up with, um, Kaleigh Schembra's year,
Gary:she was a year behind you.
Paige:She was a year behind me. Yeah. So
Gary:great year, maybe
Paige:my sixth and my eighth grade year, we won city both years.
Gary:And who was your coach?
Paige:Kathy. And I can't just call her Kathy. Oh my God. I'm so sorry. She'll be like, wait, what? I didn't believe that
Gary:she'll be listening to this too.
Paige:No, I'm so sorry, Mrs. Schembra!
Gary:We were going to talk about Roncalli, of course. But was there ever any doubt coming out of st. Mark, that Roncalli was going to be where you went to high school?
Paige:None. No, there was never, it was the, it was the only place I wanted to go to high school. I think growing up as a CYO kid on the South side, it's like, that's, that's what you envision like, that's what you want. And so, yeah, that's, I was definitely fell in with that
Gary:Being a freshmen Do you remember your first day of school, you would have been there already for volleyball practice before the school started. So that had to be helpful. So when school starts, you already have a of friends that are playing volleyball. So do you remember at all the first day, first days of high school and, and you know, you're coming from st. Mark, you're coming from a really small school, uh, into Roncalli any memories of that at all.
Paige:I don't have any specific memories of like the first day or the first week. What I can vividly remember is which I don't even know why that, why this comes to mind at this point in time. But I remember the main stairwell and when it would rain outside, the main stairwell would get pretty slippery. And so, you know, it wasn't uncommon for people to fall down the stairs, but when you're a freshmen, like, that's your nightmare. It's like, I don't want to fall down the stairs, like in the middle of a passing period. That sounds terrible. And my freshman year, and I remember this because my cousin, Anna Weber was a junior when I was a freshman and I was going down the stairs. I was going down to the first floor. I think I was going to biology and I slipped and I like skidded down the stairs in front of everyone. And I'm like, you know, internally embarrassed, I wasn't injured. So I was like, thank God. I'm not hurt. Get up. Don't say anything, just get up and go to class. It was probably two periods later that I'm passing in the hallway. She's like, Hey, I heard you fell down the stairs. I was like, how do you know that already? I was like, I cannot believe news travels like this, this school I'm so embarrassed. I was like, this is terrible. Obviously everything is fine. But 15 years old at the time. And you're like, my life can't get any worse
Gary:the world, the world's coming to well, we're going to spend a lot of time on volleyball. But before I get into that, you list hobbies in travel as being one of your hobbies. You played in Finland. And I know that you and your husband have moved around a lot. So talk a little bit about that because you've been gone from Roncalli graduated 13 years ago, and that's the beauty of the podcast because it's an opportunity to bring people back. And we've brought people back from the seventies and the eighties. And even though it's only been 13 years for some people, they don't know who Paige Weber is, unfortunately. So talk a little bit about, um, where you've been, where you've traveled and then we'll jump into some other things.
Paige:Like I said, I went to school out in Arizona and then, um, between graduation and today, uh, I went and lived in Finland obviously, and play volleyball there. My husband's from Vancouver, Canada. So we get up to Vancouver. We used to go about every year. I don't think we make it up there as often now. Um, but so I've been up there many, many times. Obviously I traveled all over the West when I was playing at Arizona. So I think every state on the West coast I've definitely been to multiple times, but then, yeah, and then we lived in, uh, we were back in Indy. We lived in New Mexico. We were in Madison, Wisconsin for a little while and now we're in Chicago. So that would be like domestic travel, not including all the traveling that went with club volleyball and you name it. Yeah. Jake, Jake. And I like to take, you know, big vacation to different places. So we've done, you know, we've done the beach thing, whether that's in the Virgin islands, the Dominican Republic or Mexico, um, he had to go recruiting for something a few years ago. And I went and met him. We went to Copenhagen and Denmark. And then last year I went on a school trip that was kind of a mini immersion program, which was traveling to some of the European union institutions. And so I went to a handful of country. So I mean, I haven't done as much traveling as I'd like to do. It takes time. Although I have had 13 years to do more and I have apparently not done it, but it is, you know, going overseas, I think was the first time I think it was the first time I had really ever been out of the country. I've ever been in another culture to where, um, I didn't speak the language. Everything was completely new and which is a really jarring experience. And I think is something that either you love or you hate, and if you hate it, you're probably never going to want to do it again. And if you love it, then it's like a bug it's like this itch that you have. And I loved it. I loved every second of it. I felt like every day was this weird adventure where it was like, I don't know, I might end up somewhere and not know where I am and not know what to say and like have to figure it out. And, and I guess if that's the case, then I will. And so I think that was probably what sparked my, what eventually sparked my interest.
Gary:You mentioned that Jake coaches at Northwestern, what does he coach?
Paige:He could just swim swimming. Well, he's swimming and diving, but he's a swim coach. Yeah. He was a swimmer out at Arizona.
Gary:And how long, uh, how long have you been married?
Speaker 3:We have been married. This will be our we'll celebrate six years. Yeah. Yeah. We were married in 2014.
Gary:at Roncalli, you list your favorite classes, government and textiles. So please explain that combination.
Paige:Oh man. Well, uh, I mean, I, I loved, I thought government, I it's just fascinating to me. So it was, it's kind of, it's probably not a class that maybe a lot of people look back and I'm like, wow, that was something that was really memorable to me. But, um, the class itself, I found fascinating. I had mrs. Jerrell and she was great.
Gary:Well, I have a good conversation this week with Angie Toner and, um, she'll, she might be disappointed that she didn't choose her class as one of your favorites. She spoke very highly of you Paige, as you can imagine, she's she, um, you are one of her favorites, so that's, that's high praise
Paige:as I'm sure. I, well, I should say I hope that she's aware that that feels extremely mutual
Speaker 4:Uh, Kathy Tinder, is that who you had for textiles? Yeah.
Paige:I love textiles. What, well, one Mrs. Tinder was great. Um, but then to my, I grew up with my grandma, so my whole life, she used to make me clothes when I was growing up. And she, like, she taught me how to use sewing machine, but that was probably my first class where I was like immersed in picking my own patterns and making my own things. And I just, it was, it was a really great, I had it right before lunch too. So it was like a really great time of the day where it's like, I've had academic stimulation going on in the morning and it's like right before lunch where it's really hard to focus anyway. And it was a good opportunity to like, do something that was creative and like the class was filled with, I great classmates in the class. Like we had a great time. It's like, it's kinda hard to, you know, you're in high school. You're kind of like, couldn't get much better than this. So
Gary:favorite coaches, you list several. So I'm going to, I'm not going to name names. I'll let you talk about any that you choose to.
Paige:Well, I could just list off my favorite coaches and they were like all the coaches that I had obviously. And then, you know, it's a long list. So, uh, obviously, uh, Craig McKendree, Kathy Schembra, Susan Hoereth we had Derek Brickler was on the team or on the team. One of our coaches, Delaney Schembra was one of the coaches at the time. Uh, Julie Tolin, Riley, she's always been Tolin to me, because that's just how we, um,
Gary:You may not realize this, but Julie's my godchild and Craig's my brother-in-law. So I know that you and Craig have a, a and my sister Jane have a very strong, um, friendship. So talk a little bit about that, because if I don't say that I'll probably catch heck for my sister.
Paige:Yeah. Well, and, and you're absolutely right. Um, yeah, Craig was, Craig was my coach. He was my coach. Um, not to say that mrs. Schembra wasn't my coach. She was, but, you know, Craig was my setting coach. And so he was kind of my, he was like one of the first people that I really interacted the most with at Roncalli. And he definitely like took me under his wing and was like, you know, he was determined, maybe not more than me, but I think it's kind of those things. Like he wanted it for me as much as I wanted it for myself to be, to be really good at what I was doing. And we just had, we had such a fun time. I had, I had the most fun, uh, with the team, definitely my, like my senior year as, as you can see, I put that on there. Like, you know, generally my senior year was just amazing. Um, I was surrounded by just great people, um, in general, but, you know, Craig and I always, he, he was the person that I could like commiserate with. Like he had done this before. And so he, and he had coached other setters before. And so, you know, when I was facing my challenges or my lows or anything like that, like he was the one I could go to and he got it and not to say that other people didn't they did, but it's just, it's kind of that, yeah. You kind of have that bond around, like, I see you, like, I get what you're dealing with and like, I can help you work through these things. And so, yeah, Craig and Craig and I had had a really unique bond. We still do. Um, and then, uh, then, you know, coach Jane is part of that as well.
Gary:Well, you were a team leader clearly you're the setter. So you're the leader on the floor. Not every time things are going to go, right. And, and Roncalli traditionally plays a tough, tough schedule. So I can just imagine, um, having somebody like Craig to lean on through those types of tough times, Craig's been a, a really outstanding coach for many, many, many years, even when I interviewed Kathy. Um, she mentioned that, so, um, I had to bring that up and I, you know, I have to have peace in my own house, so,
Paige:okay. I'll tell you what, we're going to take a break and we're going to come back in just a few minutes and we're going to talk about your senior volleyball season and all of the wonderful things that happened that year and all the celebrations. So we'll be back in just a second with Paige Weber,

Gary:We're back on the Rebel 5ive podcast with Paige Weber, Paige Weber Tapp, excuse me, Paige. We're going to talk about some volleyball. You mentioned earlier that Roncalli was always in the equation. You, and of course, with your, your, uh, grade school coache is Kathy Schembra that doesn't, that's not too far to imagine your freshman year. There was probably no question you made the, uh, varsity all four years. Uh, was that tough being a freshman on the varsity?
Paige:It definitely was tough. And yeah, so I was, um, I was on varsity, but I, I didn't play for probably the first third. I think it was maybe the first, third of the season. Um, so that was really tough, uh, which is so silly to say, like at this point, but, you know, it's like all things like all athletes, you face disappointment and like, I was really happy to be on varsity, but I, um, yeah, I will, I wasn't, I wasn't internally, you know, happy that I, that I wasn't playing. And this is not to say that I didn't, that I didn't deserve to be sitting the bench. Like I definitely like the coach was making the right coaching decisions. Um, it's just, it was, it was the truth and at the time, and so, yeah, I think it was about a third, I don't know, maybe a quarter, maybe a third of the way through the season. Um, that coach Schembra decided that, you know, it was, it was time and that she was gonna, um, and she was gonna play me. And then from then on out, I did, but yeah, it was that first quarter of the season. I remember looking at my mom and dad and saying like, you know, maybe I should ask to be on JV. Maybe I should ask because I want to play. And, um, obviously it all ended up working out the way that it, that it did and, and maybe the way that it was meant to. But, um, yeah, I was, I was nominally on the team, I guess that was a pretty good team. Honestly, every team that I played on at Roncalli was a great team. It really was. We, the first few years lost to the state champion every year that we lost was to the state champion. Yeah.
Gary:Well, Brebeuf beat us, uh, in the regional final, your freshman year. And they, they went on to win state and then yeah, so that your sophomore year Chatard beat us in the sectional. Was that a huge, huge disappointment? Cause I'm sure we played Chatard earlier in the season. Probably multiple times
Paige:we did. Yes. We definitely play them at least once actually we played them twice. I think that that was the third time that we had played them. And I think the, I, I believe if my memory serves me that we beat them the first two times and then got beat the third time, because I can, I will never for the rest of my life for bad, I think it was, it was Craig or Schembra used to say, it's really hard to beat a good team three times, three times. And unfortunately, yeah, they were right. It was, it was a massive disappointment, as you can imagine. They, they were a really, really good team. Um, but we were too. And so it was a disappointment and yeah, that was the, um, that was the year that, um, my, my cousin was a senior and there were, I think there were five seniors that year. And so, yeah, it was a disappointment to be honest.
Gary:And then they went on to win the state, which had had we won and who knows what, what happens your junior year? Again, the Braves, Brebeuf took us out in the first game of the regional, again, a really, really good team that we had. And I'm sure we would have played them multiple times that year as well.
Paige:Yeah. We, we played them. I mean, well, we used to play them definitely in the regular season and sometimes in County, sometimes in County, I think actually always County. In fact, that might've been another example of when we had played them three times and I don't know how the first two, I don't remember exactly how the first two matches turned out in that one, but, but they, they were really good that year. They had a really strong senior class and, and yeah, it's still a disappointment, you know, it's like, it's hard, it's hard when you're a team and you get bested by a team on any given day. That's a tough thing to stomach
Gary:your senior year, we're only five years removed from a state championship in 98. Did you have any memory of that 98 team? Did you follow that team?
Paige:I don't think that I did. I would have been 10. So I was just, even like, that was, would have been my first year even playing volleyball. I would have been playing fourth grade CYO, light volleyball, like what is the sport that I've just stumbled into? So it's funny. I didn't, I didn't ever follow that team, but I knew so many of the players on it. And the reason was because that was one of the coolest things about Roncalli and like, and Mrs. Schembra's continuity, the tradition was, it was unparalleled. You know, it was like those players would come back from college. Like I remember being at summer camps at Roncalli and, you know, four or five of them would just roll in. Cause they were home for the summer. They were home visiting their family for like the week or something and they would just show up to camp. And then next thing you know, Schembra's running a drill, like showing us how this is, how college kids play, like who gets to do that when they're like 11 years old. I'm like at the time it was just like, that was one of the perks of going to Roncalli's camp was like, you get to see all these athletes play and then you get to take a really cool post photo with the volleyball on your knee. Like that was the highlight of the summer. And like thinking back on it, I'm like nobody gets that experience as a child athlete. Like that is just so off the wall. Like that's just not normal. It was our normal,
Gary:I'll tell you what's really, even better than that is when those girls that played for Schembra come back and bring their kids back and play and kids that won state championships for Schembra have kids that won state championships at Roncalli too. And so that's, that's really neat. That's something that, uh, is part of the Roncalli lore I'm sure. Going into your senior year, did you have a sense that you had a chance to win the state?
Paige:It's funny. It's like if you, if you had asked any of us, if we had a sense of whether we were going to win state, like we would've absolutely told you that that was our plan, that that was our goal, but I think it's different. It's like, it's so different to say, like you have a goal versus like you have an expectation. And I don't know if at the beginning, I think at the beginning we were, you know, we had such a unique team that year. We just really did. We had, I had such an incredible senior class that I got to play with. We were such good friends. We were surrounded by junior classes and sophomore classes and freshmen, freshmen classes who not only were obviously incredible athletes, but you know, we all just got along. We had fun and we we'd worked hard, don't get me wrong. We worked hard. Um, but we had fun. And so I think we were more so focused on, you know, having a great senior year with the obvious goal and intention that state was it. But I don't, I don't know that anybody would have looked you in the eye and said like it's happening this year. Although I think internally we, that, you know, it's a really weird thing to articulate when you think back on it. It's like, I don't know, at what point, like all four of the seniors would have looked at each other and said, dude, this is us. Like, this is our year. Um, if that would have been like day one of summer camp, or if that would have been like, you know, midway through our season, we had some, we had this incredible winning streak and we were like, wow, like we're, you know, we're, we're on all cylinders at this point. I don't know when that happened. It definitely happened.
Gary:Well. Yeah. You, uh, you won your last 32 matches or last 23 matches I know I, so well, I was going to ask if there was a point in time, uh, during the season where he, you know, things weren't going well, you lost five matches during your senior season, so you weren't undefeated. Do you remember a point in the season that maybe you played somebody and you thought, you know, we either have to get together or the rest of the season is going to be really sketchy?
Paige:You know, I, I don't recall that being a thing. And I think that's a real, I think that's like a real Testament to like the type of team that we were. Um, I don't really feel like our stress levels wherever, you know, through the roof, to where it was like, we, you know, we have to somehow pull this together. Um, you know, we, we really did try, I think as a senior class, we really did try to focus on like making the, making the team, making the environment like inclusive and, you know, we want people to, we want them to be successful. We want them to want to be here. We want like that sort of thing. Once again, we were working really hard. Like, it wasn't all like rainbows and like, you know, but it was, it was just something that we, we, as a, as a class, I think we wanted to leave behind was like, we wanted people to know like, yes, when you come in, you're going to work hard. Yes. There are going to be expectations. Like, yes, there's going to be pressure, but like, it's never going to be something that like, you don't have people around you who aren't going to be there with you in the trenches. Like we can do this. And so I definitely remember, like at the beginning of the year, when, before we hit the wind, before we hit our wind streak thinking there were times when it was hard, but I never felt like we were like in a place of fracture. Like I never felt like we were operating from a place of fracture where we have to do something. We have to bring everybody together and pull everybody in. Like, I felt like everybody was always in, it was more so just like, just keep, just keep doing what you're doing. Like keep working, you know, keep working and keep working as a unit. And like, this will, this will be something that's. I think that, I think that's what the rest of the seniors and the team would say, but obviously I don't speak for them, but I think that's, that's where my head was.
Gary:Talk about this a little bit. Uh, your class athletically was one of the, one of the all time best really that's your, the boys basketball team was, uh, had the best season we've ever had. The football season football team was on the, the, uh, end of a streak. Uh, how much pressure, if any, did you feel from the other teams to be good?
Paige:I don't know that. I don't know that we felt pressure. Maybe we were lucky because we were the first, like we were, I shouldn't say like of the, we were contemporaneous with football. We would have been like, our season would have been before basketball and stuff like that. So I don't know if it was necessarily that we would have felt any pressure from our class, uh, and their success. It's also like Roncalli sports in general is just obviously hyper competitive and super successful. So kind of just being at Roncalli is pressure in and of itself from an athletic perspective, not in a bad way. I just mean there's a lot of tradition in those halls. Um, and so you want that, you want that for yourself, you know, you want the bus ride back, singing the fight song. Like that's what you want. I'll tell you what I do remember. Although I don't remember feeling pressure at, like, from other sports. I remember being supported and actively supporting the other athletes, um, which at the time seems very, it's just what it's just part of your life. But I, I think that as you get older, you don't realize how unique that is. You know, it is really unique to be in a place where other people are sharing in your success and supporting your success. And you're doing that for other people like that. That's not necessarily the norm. And so I think it was something maybe you took for granted in the moment and you get older and you're like, wow. I was actually really cool. Like
Gary:your fellow students are there rooting you on. They want you to succeed.
Paige:Absolutely.
Gary:I've asked many of our guests on the Rebel 5ive about a favorite wood shed moment, a favorite Roncalli gym moment. And most of those have centered around basketball. Most of them are have centered around Paul Corsaro.
Paige:Yeah.
Gary:Classmate of yours. Do you have any woodshed favorite moment?
Paige:I do. I definitely do. Um, I'll give you two, the first one, I'm going to just touch on briefly. Um, some, many of my favorite moments were actually going back to watch my brother play at Roncalli. Um, I would have been, let's see, I'm like, let's do the math Paige. Uh, he was, I think, five years in school behind me. So I was, well, yeah. Was his look at that? You know, I don't, you, you don't deserve that kind of a miss for me, but you know, it's been a long time. Um, so yeah, so 12, so I would have been, I was, I was in college. I think it was probably my junior senior year when he was, when he was playing basketball. So yeah, that, that was always something that I think was really that that's really special. I mean, once again, it's like one getting to support your family. Like there's, there's nothing, there's nothing better than getting to support your own sibling and in what they're doing. Um, but if I had to pick a selfish, like, like my own, like, you know, personal experience, um, it was definitely when we got to have our pep rally for volleyball, those are like the moments you remember in the gym is like, Oh, we have these pep rallies. And like, you know, every class is there and like it's a class competition of who can be the loudest and who can do the best cheer and this and this and that. We had gone to so many, uh, definitely by our senior year and very much earned pep rallies for other sports. Like, I'm not trying to say, like, we've been to so many for other sports. Like they were all well warranted, but it's kind of like, you never think you're going to get one for yourself. Like why, you know, why, why would we have one for ourselves? And I remember, I definitely remember because we had talked about like, what are we going to wear? Okay. We're all gonna dress the same, because it's like, that was part of our MO is like, we're all gonna, you know, we're gonna be in uniform, we're gonna wear the same thing. So if we had on our, our like blue swish pants and our, like a gray Roncalli shirts, we were all gonna dress the same. Cause that's, that's what teams do. You know? And I remember we were, I think, I believe we started on the stage because this is the old gym. I started on the stage and they had built out this like kind of step down mechanism using our jump boxes that we would train on at the gym. And we all came out one by one and it was just like, yeah, it was one of those surreal moments where it's like, you, you know what these pep rallies look like from your place in the stands, because you've done it so many times. And you're like, Oh my gosh, wait a second. Where on the court, wait, this is for us. It's kind of one of those moments that you afterwards you're like, I can't believe that just happened.
Gary:Well, you brought up your brother, Ryan. He himself is a extremely talented athlete and I'll just bring this up very, very briefly. But class of 2012, another great class athletically his senior year, I think we go up to 4A by one or two students. Yeah. Because his year we would have definitely been favored to win a state championship. Maybe a couple of years there. I don't know my memory fades a little bit, but yeah. Yeah. So lots of, uh, lots of great moments in the woodshed over the years. And of course I mentioned to you when we were talking the other day that we have a new gym now. And, and so, um, some of those memories will have to be just that memories for a long, long time. So we're going to take another break and we're going to come back and we're going to talk about the semifinals and the finals of that championship match. And then we'll finish up with some other things. So we'll be right back with Paige Weber in just a moment.

Gary:We're back with Paige Weber Tapp on the Rebel 5ive podcast Paige. Thanks for being here. We really appreciate you taking some time out of your, your studies for your law classes up in Chicago. I talked about it last segment, but we'll dive deeper into it here a little bit in the post season, your senior year, was that a four team final four semi-state and then a final
Paige:for state. We were at Hinkel. We were at a different high school for the semi state game. I forget what high school too. I, I like, I want to say it was like Lawrence North or North central or something like that. And yeah, so we play you play in the morning and then basically we bought in the RV and went back to yeah. Cause we RV everywhere. This is the best experience ever. Actually we got in the RV. I think we went back to the school, you know, we tried to rest some and then yeah, we had to go to Hinkle.
Gary:Well, wherever this took place, you played Delta. So you're playing Delta, a Delaware County team known widely for volleyball. Um, and you really didn't have much trouble with Delta. Talk a little bit about that. I think you have a story about that.
Paige:Yeah, I do. Definitely. Yeah, no, Dell Delta was a good team. Um, they had a sophomore outside hitter who went on. She, she played at Penn state, um, for a while and um, and she was good. They were good. Um, and in, so whenever we were in postseason, because you knew who you were playing, you knew well in advance, you ran full scouting report, you know, but we used to, we used to pull out these old school pennies from under the stage, like basketball pennies, like tape numbers on them to, to have it be, you know, like this person is, is this athlete and, and we would, we would scrimmage against
Gary:explain what pennies are. Cause not, everybody's going to understand that.
Paige:Oh really?
Gary:Yeah. I had to think for a minute myself. So explain what a penny is.
Paige:I'm like, unless I'm, unless I'm wrong on what they're called, but like the, okay. I'm like maybe I made that word up. Okay.
Gary:Most, a lot of people won't know what those are.
Paige:Oh my gosh. Should I just transition a stage of life where I know that people younger than me don't know I'm horrified. Okay. Uh, so pennies were, um, these, these like mesh like faux jerseys basically that you could throw on. It was like, I think they were primarily used in basketball, but like yeah, you would throw them on. And it would dictate who was on which team. It was a really easy way to tell. And so we would tape the athletes numbers on the pennies because you know, a big part of scouting report in volleyball is you have to know who, who is who and where do they play and where are they moving? Cause there's like, you know, there's a lot of cross, uh, moving on the court and stuff like that. You gotta keep track of your, of your, of your players. And so, so we would do this every postseason with every team. This is how we prepare it. But we knew we were coming up against Delta. And like I said, they had, they had a really, really good outside hitter. And she was young at the time too, which is even more impressive. And so we had Derek, he played her and Derek was like, you know, he's like six foot. Yeah. He's a big guy. I mean, he could hit, he could hit the snot out of the ball. Like we were, we were like, okay. But you know, coach schembra's mentality was like, look, if you can play against Derek, you can play against them. And so we're going to do this. And of course we, I think one day he even came in with a, with a wig, like as a joke, like I told you, we worked hard, but we had fun. And, and it was the funniest week. We were literally, I think people were on the ground. They were laughing so hard. I mean, I don't know if that worked, like if it was that practice that worked, but I can vividly remember when we were entering Dell, we were entering the Delta game. We were nervous. I mean, how could you not be, this was the first time we had made it past the regionals. And like, none of us had experienced this deep in the postseason and we were seniors. So it's like, okay, every game that you play, like this is it. Or it's not, but like, that's your choice. And I remember like there was, I don't remember what game it was, but, uh, Bethany Kern absolutely like roofs this girl. And I remember coming into the huddle and it was just like, every person was like, we're, we're doing this. Like there was, there was literally, I don't know that I've ever been in the middle of a match and been like 100%. There is no doubt how this is going to turn out. And I think we beat them in three. I mean, I, if memory serves me correctly, you to your point. Yeah.
Gary:Yeah. It was a three one.
Paige:There you go. Three, one. So, sorry. Sorry for that.
Gary:Yeah, but the first two, first two games, 25, 1925, 14. So there wasn't much, they won the third match 19 to 25, then 25, 10 in the final game. So surprisingly easy.
Paige:Yeah, it was. And I think, is this the exact word? I, we, we felt prepared, but I don't think that being prepared, like you can feel prepared and got involved in the fight of your life. You can feel prepared and, you know, crash and burn and we felt prepared. And, and we, I don't know what we did. We went into overdrive. I don't even know what we did, but it was great.
Gary:So you come back later that day and like we talked about earlier, you're at Hinkel field house for the final game. How cool was that?
Paige:I had a, like a, who's your moment to be honest, like a Hoosier's moment, you know, I, I think we actually had watched, maybe we had watched Hoosier's in the, in between actually. Oh my gosh. I think we did. I want to say, we went back to the school and we were all in coach Schembra's classroom and she had a TV. Maybe it was that game. Maybe it was a different year. I don't really remember. But at one point we watched Hoosier's and it's when I forget who the actor is, the coaches in Hinkle, and he's measuring, he's measuring the lines right. Here you go. Thank you. And I remember when we walked into Hinkle Hinkles he goes a really disorienting gym because it's huge. And the, you know, the court is in the center and it's raised and it's got like the drop-off sides. And so it's just kind of a tough place to play. And it's definitely a difficult place to play when you are playing a sport, like basketball has like a very orienting factor, the basket it's like, you, you see the basket, you know exactly what you're shooting for. You know, volleyball is a game where it's like, you're putting things up into the air and then having to orient your body while you're trying to like, you know, move around this ball. It was, it was a really, just a different space than we had played it. And so I remember having that moment walking into the gym and thinking like, it's exactly the same. The court size is exactly the same. The net height is exactly the same. Like, it doesn't matter how many fans there are, how many lights there are, how far the bench is. Like, none of that matters. Everything else is still the same. Like we're just going to, and I want to say that we did this, like practice beforehand. They had an auxiliary gym because they run all the games back to back to back to back. So they don't have time for warmups. You just get a hitting warmup of like, I don't know, four and a half minutes or something because they need to stay on schedule. And so you're in this auxiliary gym. So that's where you're warming up. And then you step into the court, like you're blinded, there's lights on you. You're looking around, like the crowds are basically all like black because, you know, you're the focal point. The court is the focal point. And so like, you can't even see it in the crowds and you're walking around. You're like, Oh my gosh, like, what are we do? Uh, and so it was disorienting, but I think I do remember having that vivid thought and I'm like, wow, like Hoosiers,
Gary:it must have affected because you come out in that game or that match against Mishawaka, Marian, who we had played a couple of decades before in our first state championship. Uh, you lost the first game, 21, 25 and then 30 to 32. That had to be just a heartbreaker,
Paige:yeah, it was
Gary:what the heck happened between game two and three that you guys came back out. You're the only, at that point, I don't know if it's happened since, but at that point in time was we were the only school to come back after losing the first two matches two first, two games to win the match for a state championship.
Paige:You know, I, I think, I, I think I wish that I knew more vividly, like what, what was going on or like what we were thinking. Um, I, I think that was probably the first time in the year where we had felt maybe, you know, some shell shock, you know, it's, it's kind of a, it's a heavy situation. It's your, it's the last match. It's the most important match? It's your senior year? Like, what am I going to do? I remember, I think it was Bethany said something, you know, like we didn't come here to get, to get a red medal. We didn't come here to get a red medal. We came here to leave with the blue medal. Like we, like, what are we doing? We can like, we can do that. And I do remember, I remember like internally being like, okay, like what, what are you doing? Like, what are you going to do? Like, and I don't remember if it was Craig or if it was Schembra. Um, but I think one of them pulled me aside and was like, you gotta remember, like, so you go as you go. So will the team go? If you're beat right now, like everyone's going to be beat. And if you're not beat, everyone's gonna follow whatever, whatever, like, whatever lead you set, everyone's going to go. And I remember thinking like, really there's no way, but then I was like, no, you know what you're you're right. Of course, they're right. They're coaches, it's like their job. Um, and so I just remembered the, the fight that even though we were all kind of free falling at that point in time, there was still such a, there's such a focus on like, we can fight and we can fight as a unit. And that's what we can do. Like that. That's all we got basically, you know? Um, and apparently it worked like, I think
Gary:you're maybe glossing over it a little bit because you're the setter. And as like you said, as you go, so goes the team. So, uh, you come back and win that third game, 25, 22 fourth game, 25 16, and the poor Mishawaka, Marian kids go out, you know, with their tails between their legs, 15 to 9 in the fifth game. So what a comeback, I mean, that's, that's one for the ages.
Paige:Yeah, it really was. It was, I actually had a, it was funny. I, um, I felt a little bad afterwards, but I twisted my ankle in the third set and, uh, which wasn't necessarily like, that's not crazy. You know, like people are athletes, people get hurt. I had, I think I had an ankle injury pretty much every year in high school. Um, but you know, not the greatest moment in time. And I remember, um, Sahm had come up and he, he was, he was trying to be helpful. Uh, obviously, you know, he's like, let me see your ankles. Like, I'd lived off the court. He's like, let me see your ankle. We've got to take your shoe off, like all this stuff. And I was like, no, like leave me alone. I need to focus. You know? And I, it also happened right before I was supposed to go back to serve and I, you know, I jumped serve and so it is not going to feel good when I was having to do that. But it was kind of funny, um, because I had, for whatever reason when I was in high school and even in college, actually, I played through, I played through a lot of injuries, a lot of pain, um, for whatever reason, as weird as this is going to sound pain always had a really unique way of centering my focus, because it was kind of like when you're in pain, uh, you don't think about the pain when you're playing. You think about the pain and the in between. And so it was like, you want to get to the point where you're focused on something else, because that's what the pains subside. And so it, that definitely happened for me. I was like, okay, as long as I'm focused on what I'm doing, like this isn't going to hurt and I'm going to be just fine. And, um, I, one of my really good friends played, played at cathedral. And so they were playing in the final right after us and her mom who I've known since I was 12 and is like a second mother to me was up in the stands. And she was there with her husband and I got hurt and I came back out and I was getting ready to serve. And Leslie to this day will tell you, she's like, I looked at Marcus and I said, they're going to win this. Marcus was like, are you crazy? They're down two games to zero. Oh, we were down at the time. And this was in the third, the third game. And she's like, I know it sounds crazy, but I have watched that girl play. I blew, born has played with her since she was 12 years old. And I'm telling you right now, I'm looking at her face. They are going to win this. She was right. no idea why she thought that, like how she knew that, but she was totally right. And to this day, it's so funny. Cause she'll tell you, she's like, I knew it. I knew it from the time. And the third set that this is what was going to happen. Then I was like, wow, y ou g o, that's amazing.
Gary:This was written in a prep volleyball article. Um, right after we, we won it says the two starting middles had never played varsity before 2006, one outside hitter. And the team's right side attacker had never started a varsity match, but the Roncalli Rebels had five foot 11 Paige Weber, a senior setter who's experienced determination and will made everything else. Irrelevant. Even as our team was down two games to none in the Indiana Class 3A state file. That's pretty cool.
Paige:Yeah, that is cool.
Gary:Pretty cool. And it goes on, it goes on and talks about your statistics, that game, you win the mental attitude award! Of all your accolades. And I'm going to list some of them here. Where does the mental attitude, the IHSAA mental attitude, or where does that fall? And, um, all of the things that you've accomplished,
Paige:it's definitely up there obviously like, as it definitely at the top, if not like really like really, really close, but I am having trouble coming to mind. But anything that would, that would top that. Um, I, yeah, it's kind of like that whole experience and winning the mental attitude award. It was like, it was something that I had watched other people do. Right. It was, it's something that happens to other people. I don't remember when, but I think there was one point where I, um, yeah, I told my dad, like I wanted to win state championship. Obviously my parents were there. Um, but I never, I would've never thought that that would have been something that I would have achieved. Like, you know, that's kind of something that's, it's like a pipe dream. I'm like, Oh, okay. That'd be cool. Um, but I don't think it's anything that you really like think about. Um, and I remember after they, after they announced it at the game, I like re vividly, remember like walking up to my dad and giving him a hug and you know, him saying, you did it like you did it. And I know that because my dad is like six, nine, and he like picked me up off the ground. Like he is hard to miss. Um, and, and yeah, it was kinda, it was, it was definitely like a surreal moment. One of those things that like, everything is happening very quickly and it's, it's not something you could process. Um, I don't think I really processed it until like, we had gotten back to Roncalli and we, we, we got up going back to the gym and like all the students had come back and like, they were all in the gym if he was in like those moments that I was, I was beginning to process it. Um, but it's kinda funny because to be honest, that whole, as, as grateful and, and, and honored as I am, and as I was to win that award, like it actually, like what I remembered the most was the, was the win and being my team. And like, you know, that was, that was such a, that was such a culmination of like thousands of people's hours, like work, you could build something. So it's kind of funny because it's like, it's not until I think about it that I'm like, Oh my gosh. Yeah. Wow. You're right. Like,
Gary:well, the team win is a school win. The mental attitude award is a parent win. speaking from a parent's point of view, I can only tell you that I'm sure your parents were just beaming. So, uh, for some of our listeners who maybe have been under a rock and don't know about Paige's accolades in high school, these are just some of them. And we don't have time for all of them, but she was a four letter, four year letter winner at Roncalli. She was named team captain her senior year and was a two time team in VP. She earned first team, all American honors from prep volleyball as a senior, she earned the 2006, Andy Collins award recognizing the nation's best high school, senior setter. She was named the 2006 Gatorade player of the year for the state of Indiana, uh, named all South player of the year as a junior and senior named all Marion County player of the year was an honor student each semester at Roncalli earned All State, academic honors, and first team academic, all American honors. Um, what didn't you do that year? That was, that's an amazing, that's an amazing resume when someone reads that, how do you respond?
Paige:I don't know. You know, um, it's gonna sound really weird. It's still, it still sounds weird to like, to even hear that kind of stuff. Um, I mean, obviously like I lived it
Gary:Well, it means to me that you're one determined person. You are a hard, hard worker and you take direction. You are, you are a golden example of everything that is good and everything that Roncalli stands for. That means a lot to me. Thank you. Alright. Paige, we are coming to the end of this. And I just want to, again, thank you for spending some time with us. Your career at R oncalli is really unprecedented. Y ou've set the bar really, really high for all the kids that come after you t o some of the things that we've talked about today. I t's just been so much fun, but I do have a question for you in your senior year book, you were awarded or announced to be most likely to be on the, so you think you can dance team.
Paige:Yeah. I was on the dance team
Gary:and I know that you've danced around the volleyball court for a long, long time. I've seen, I've seen video of that. So dancing, is that your thing?
Paige:Yeah. You know what it is it's been ever since I was a baby, believe it or not, we have really great home videos of me at the age of like one and a half, literally opening the dance floor. Like no one else is out there and I'm like, let's go people time to do time to do this. Like we came to this wedding, it's time to get dancing. Um, yeah. I was on the dance team my senior year. I had to try out before practice in the middle of season, mind you and yeah. Schembra was not very happy and rightfully so. Um, I believe I showed up late to practice. So if you know, coach Schembra and, you know, coach, and you know, if you are on time, you are late. And if you are early, you are on time, which by the way, great words of advice to live by. I literally live by those words in every professional endeavor I've ever been in. I still do it like we're in zoom. I'm on zoom five minutes before class starts, I'm on five minutes before the meeting starts, like just great Sage advice. Thank you for that at a very early point in my life. So if you can imagine, I was not only not on time for practice, I was like a few minutes late for practice and with volleyball. It's like, if you are a few minutes late for practice, it's like, you still have to pull on your knee Pad. You still have to put on your ankle braces, you put your shoes on, you still got to help get the nets set up. It did not. It was not, you know, it did not go over well. Yeah, exactly. I was not setting for example. Um, and, but I do, I think I remember because we used to dance, the halftime shows for the basketball games. And I want to say it was like, after one of those shows, I remember came up to me and she was like, well, Paige, you're not that bad. I was like, thanks. Can I have a hug? And she was like, no,
Gary:Alright, Paige Rebel 5ive in another life. If volleyball wasn't out there, where do you think you'd be right now?
Paige:Like, absolutely unconventional, like where I would be. I believe it or not. I would definitely want to be like in the theater, like onstage. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Kind of, one of the things I regret a little bit about high school, not doing drama or anything like that, doing theater, we have a, believe it or not. We have a student run musical at our law school that is written by all students. It's a, it's a satire, like making fun of stuff that happens at the school and written by all students and performed by all students. And I performed in it this year and last year I loved it. I had so much fun. I won't say that I'm any good at it. I have no idea, but like people paid to come and watch us. So
Gary:Last comment. Do you have any final thoughts or life advice?
Paige:You know, I think that I, I was really lucky when I was growing up. Like I was re I had the opportunity to coach Schembra said, like surround myself with really good people. Uh, she used to say that all the time, you know, and at the time it was like, it was something that she told us all, we were young, you know, we didn't think much about it, but I was really lucky to surround myself with good people and in surrounding myself with those good people, um, I was, you know, I was taught, I don't know if I'd say skills or characteristics or yeah. Mentality. I don't know. I don't know what you would want to use to like, quantify what it was exactly. But, um, you know, things like how to work hard and how to support people around you, like how to be engaged in what you're doing, but also like enjoying it and like enjoying it with the people around you at the same time. And so I think, you know, I think the first thing for all of that is like, you know, pay attention to who you surround yourself with, um, who you surround yourself with is eventually what you emulate. It's, it's, it's part of who you become. I definitely, I understand that now at this point in my life. And I think I was lucky when I was much younger and going through, you know, high school and college and stuff, um, that I was just surrounded by a lot of good people. But I think that knowing that when you're younger is like important and it is important to surround yourself with, with people who, who care about you and are, and are going to take care of you and support you. And then, you know, if you're around the right people, they'll teach you the things that you need to know, like how to work hard and how to, um, how to build up people around you and how to enjoy what you're doing along the way. And I think that's like, that's where the fun stuff in life happens. You know, when you, when you work hard at, at, at whatever it is that you're doing, um, you become better at it. Uh, you become better at something, uh, you, you typically want to do it more like it it's, that's how you build things. That's how you become passionate about what it is that you're doing. If you are surrounded by the right people and you're working hard and you're passionate about what you're doing, you're going to enjoy it. You're going to enjoy it with the right people. And I think that was something that, um, that I, like I said, luck, I think that it's luck. I'm like, I don't know what I did to deserve or, or have whatever it was that happened through high school and through college and stuff like that. But I think it was kind of a mix of all those things, like, yeah, just paying attention to, to doing, doing that, which made me happy. Giving it 150% at times and doing that with people that I wanted to be doing that with and who were the right people at the time. So I think that would probably be my life advice if I had to give any.
Gary:That's awesome advice, we've done 37 38 episodes of the Rebel 5ive podcasts. And I asked that question a lot and I've had several people comment, you know, what's the common denominator of all of these people that you have interviewed. It's hard work and knowing what hard work is. And you know, maybe that first job when you're 15, you know, you're throwing papers or you're working at a restaurant or whatever, but you're learning the value of hard work and the, Oh my gosh, you are the epitome of that. The other thing I'll say, and then we gotta go. Chuck Weisenbach talks about how he lived a half a block, not even a half a block from st. Jude. And he lived across the parking lot from Roncalli. So the first 12 years of school, he walked to st. Jude. And then he walked across parking lot to Roncalli and then he went to Butler and he came back, lived in the house that he grew up in and walked to school all those years. And he said, you know, I never left the parking lot, but it's so cool to see our students go out all over the world and do great things. And you're one of those people. So we can't thank you enough for representing Roncalli all these years in such a awesome, awesome manner. You are a jewel. And as I said earlier, and I don't say this lightly on the Mount Rushmore of Roncalli female athletes, you are right there in the middle. So, and there's four. So I guess it wouldn't be a middle you're on the left or the right. I'm not sure Paige Weber Tapp. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for being part of the Rebel 5ive.
