DAY 1 of Districts is in the Books

We took the little White Bus to SWHS yesterday to start our Journey into the District Playoffs.

The makeup of the team has shifted some over the last week as we have incurred some injuries to key players on our team, so the dynamics have had to shift some.

We came out in  the 1st match against Sehome, from the NWC. 

I knew it would come down to who could stop whose OH's on the night.  The Match went back and forth, we won the 1st set, they won the 2nd set, we won the 3rd, they won the 4th and it came down to one game to 15 for the win.

Their OH's were putting some good swings down and we had a tough time adjusting to their spots where they were hitting them and in the end, they took the 5th set and the match.

We moved to the 2nd round with a good sense of what we needed to do and looked forward to the match against Lakewood.

Lakewood came out fast in the 1st set and took a quick lead.  I explained to the Girls it is not about Skill at this point, it is about Will and Desire.  Whoever can tap the emotion will have the ability to succeed. 

We righted the ship and found our Passion.  We played well and took the match in 3 straight sets.

So it is on to Saturday and a match against South Whidbey, winner to State!!!!

Thanks for everyone's support and I will see YOU IN THE GYM THIS SATURDAY!!!!
