Nipmuc-Valley Tech boys volleyball standing tall behind Dolan Comforti
“I was never estimated to be this tall,” said 6-7 Nipmuc-Valley Tech's Dolan Comforti. “It took me by surprise; it took my parents by surprise."
UPTON - The growth spurt hurt. Dolan Comforti grew five inches during his freshman year. And another six since.
He now stands 6-foot-7. He is known as a setter, but when he spikes a volleyball, it usually goes straight to the floor. Kill.
“I was never estimated to be this tall,” said the Blackstone Valley Tech junior who plays for the Nipmuc-BVT co-op. “It took me by surprise; it took my parents by surprise. Shoe shopping’s never been easy because you can’t go into stores anymore.
” He wears a size 15, by the way. On Thursday, in a 3-1 win over Southeastern Voc Tech at BVT, he also wore tape on his injured left wrist and a compression sleeve on his left knee. Comforti is used to the discomfort: his jump in height caused back pain.
