2011 Conference Season comes to a Close

We took it on the road for the last time in Conference play for 2011 and headed across the water to SWHS.

It was the last match for our JVC and JV kids.

JVC played some great cohesive VB and showed how you can fight through injuries and play with limited bodies on the bench and ended their Season with a 2-1 Set and Match victory.

Congrats to Mary Kay and her wonderful group of Kids- Monica, Maddie, Jillian, Malia, Julia, Jassmyn, Hannah, and the wounded Warriors- Chloe and Teresa.  Great Year with a very composed, Hard Working Team!!!!!

The JV team found the last match to be a tougher road to plow and in the end lost 1-2.  They had sustained some late season injuries and the rotation were shifted to offset this and they battled with it and getting a feel for it, so much commendably respect for fighting hard through it.

I want to thank Sarah for coaching the JV team this year, along with her players- Allie, Ria, Paula, Caroline, Abby, Rachael, Colette, and Catherine.  Great work put in this year.

The Varsity took part in their 2nd Senior Night on the road and we want to thank the SW VB Team for honoring our 6 Seniors at the start of the ceremony last night. 

Once the ceremony was completed, the match started and we came out and played some amazing cohesive Volleyball in the 1st Set.  Everything was clicking and we came away with a 25-7 set 1 win.

Set 2 saw us in get in our groove, but also saw SW start to move the ball around.  They made one run on us, but then Beth stepped in and put up a couple of blocks and then we started clicking again.  Behind some solid hitting of Amanda and defense by Hannah, we pulled away and took the second set 25-18

The 3rd set, saw SW go for broke.  Sometimes when you play with such a heightened sense of urgency, you can bring the Energy back, which they did.  Riding their Seniors they took the third set 25-16.

The 4th Set, saw us get back to playing our consistent defense.  We put a good run on them when we were down 5-6 and from there we never looked back and kept doing the little things that builds our confidence (Good Serving, Good Defense, Solid Hitting).  We took the fourth set 25-18 and the match 3-1.

We put an end on another successful Conference Season, where we went 12-2.

Next up- Rd 1 of Districts on Nov 2nd.
