10.18.11-KINGS!!!!!
Took it on the road to the confines of Kings HS.
As always we look forward to the incredible competition we provide each other.
JVC/JV- Fought hard and both teams are playing short-handed, but made the most of their opportunities to step up and work together. In the End the abundance of Kings players were too much for our girls and both team last their Matches. Valiant Effort!!!!
The Varsity came into the night playing with "House Money" and nothing to Lose and after we graciously sat there while 9 Seniors for Kings were honored, we came out with intensity. We were not going to let them have this match, if they wanted it, they had to take it from us.
We jumped out to an early lead in the 1st game and Kings found themselves on their heals. We kept the lead most of the way through the 1st Game, behind some amazing defense. We had a 23/21/19 Ball rally in the 1st Set alone. Kings started chipping away late in the game and they came up with 2 runs that were the difference and we lost the 1st set 21-25
The 2nd Set was back and forth and we rode the wave of Marea and her Warrior spirit to keep fighting. It was back and forth late and we had a 19/18/18/16 Ball rally in the set, yet we came up 2 points short 23-25
In between sets 2-3 the entire team pulled themselves in tight and focused on the energy of the core. The bench was driving a positive flow that kept building throughout the 3rd set. We came out on fire again, behind the hitting of Marea and the defense of Hannah. Amanda, Beth, Morgan, and Sarah kept swinging away. The balanced attack that Kings had that night was just a hair better than we were and in the end, they took the 3rd set 19-25, and the match 3-0.
All in all on the night, it felt like we played 10 sets. The rallies were never ending. The Energy was AWESOME!!!!
All 12 players, whether they were on the floor or on the bench, helped to drive us to compete at the highest level and we did. We might not have won the match by the numbers, but we won the match of Will, Desire and Heart.
Perfect Segway to Senior Night......
