September 27th found us on the road in a freakish Rain Storm as we drove north to Lakewood HS. The Rain was a great reminder why we love to play Volleyball (Warm Climate and Indoors)!!!!
As we made our way to Lakewood our JVC team stayed behind to take on our neighbors from Glacier Peak's JVC team at AMHS. The Girls played great and in the end Glacier Peak came away with the victory 3-0.
Our JV team, playing short handed, came out and worked on finding good cohesion against a scrappy Lakewood team who would not let a ball hit the ground on their side. The truly knew how to cover 900sq. feet of the volleyball court. In the end Lakewood played a great hustle and cover style and won the match 2-1.
The Varsity team hit the floor for the 1st time since the stinging loss to Kings and went to work quickly to start the match behind some key hitting of Marea Homes and Amanda Marvin. We worked hard to keep the ball in play and it payed off with a Set 1 victory, 25-15.
Serving was key all night and it showed in the 2nd set, as we found ourselves down 9-14 and Beth Carlson,Tory Popp, and Alex Flake came up big in their service rotations, giving us a 10-3 point swing and taking the set 2, 25-19.
We started off slow in the 3rd set, down 0-4 before Alex went back to serve, but behind some key serving again from Beth and some solid swings by Amanda we pulled ahead 9-7 and keep applying the pressure all the way through and took set 3, 25-19 and the match 3-0.
All and all a good win and a confidence builder.
Tomorrow night is the big Dig for the Cure night as we welcome South Whidbey HS to AMHS.
See you all in the Gym.....
