3rd Annual Dig for the Cure Match- HUGE SUCCESS!!!

We put a great cap on the 1st half of Conference Play by hosting our 3rd Annual DIG FOR THE CURE match against South Whidbey HS.

All 3 Teams came out ready to play and it showed right off the bat with the JVC and JV Matches.

The JVC match brought a good friend of mine into the Gym, Jim West.  I knew their girls would be well coached and it showed as they took the 1st game.  Our Girls came out and played back and forth the 2nd game and took it, 33-31!!!! Came down to the last game and once again back and forth and end the end, SWHS was just a hair better, winning 18-16. Phenomenal Match played by Both Teams.

The JV kids took some time to find their balance and dropped the 1st game, but game back strong in Games 2 and 3 winning the match 2 games to 1.  Great play.

The Varsity for SWHS came out of the gate fast and furious and fed the ball to their Start MH, Linden Firethorne in the 1st game and we were slow to respond.  The 1st Set ended with SWHS winning 25-14. 

I shook the lineup up in the 2nd set and the team became invigorated and started to put it together.  Behind some great hitting by Alex Flake and key Setting as well, along with help from Tory Popp, they quickly took the 2nd Set 25-15.

In the 3rd set, the lineup changes did not stop and they took the new pieces and molded them together and fought for a very good 3rd Set win 25-19.

At this point, we knew we had to keep pushing and behind some great Backrow defense led by Hannah Linsenmayer, with the help of Annie Schmidt and Angelina DeGrazia, we kept putting balls up and allowing the offense to flow and took the 4th Set 25-14 and the Match 3-1.

All in all a some great rebound Volleyball played by all.

As the Volleyball was the center attraction, the surrounding environment, that was the Dig for the Cure was a phenomenal Success, in large part to all the Parents who coordinated and volunteered of their time to help make this event another success.  We raised close to $1000 for this event. 

I want to thank you all from the Bottom of my Heart for all of your hard work and dedication to our remarkable Volleyball program.  I special nod went out to a great woman last night, from the coach, to his beloved Mother, Alice Curtis, the ultimate Cheerleader for us.

Thank you all again for making last night remarkable....Jeff
