Your 8th grade volleyball teams made their coaches proud on Saturday afternoon. The teams did a great job of putting on display all that they had learned throughout the season. The B girls got things started by not wavering in their determination to get 3 hits. Gillian W by herself had 4 over hand hits in the first game. It had to be Sydney C's hit that was the most impressive of the match as she spiked it straight down on Newton. The Newton Knights did not even attempt 3 hits the entire match and their bumping was too consistent for our girls to handle as Powell lost in 2 games.
The A girls struggled a little in the first game. But the passing from Avery S and Peyden G was on point for the entire match. It was the overhand hitting from Keira O and the serving from Maddie G that pushed the match to 3 games. The highlight of the 3rd game had to be Sierra C. She went back to the line with the score 6-14. She had no room for error and she rose to the challenge as she scored 7 straight points. But it was not to be as Goddard got the win in that 3rd game.
The C girls came out with the only opportunity to bring home a trophy. The Vikings from Goddard said thank you very much as the girls spotted them an 11-0 lead in the first game. The girls did not stop fighting but could not come back from that 11-0 hole. The second game started much, much better but this time it was the passes that let the girls down as they lost in 2 games.
Girls it is time to celebrate the season. Please listen to the announcements for the date of our end of the season celebration.

Your 8th grade girls started the A & B tournaments yesterday afternoon. The A squad faced off with the juggernaut that is Euclid. The girls started the first game off right as they stayed close with the Falcons. But the girls serves let them down and Euclid's did not. That was all the Falcons needed as they served their way to victory. Keira O had 3 great over hand hits to lead the Pumas.
The B girls came out and looked a little bit nervous. Their normal level of excitement and positive energy was masked by that nervous energy. The girls struggled to complete the passes to the setters. Gillian W was one of the few who had some fantastic passes on some very difficult serves. Speaking of difficult serves, Euclid had 6 - 8 girls with amazing over hand serves that carried their team. The first game did not end well as the Pumas lost by a lot. That did not stop the girls from turning around their energy and coming out with their normal positive energy in the 2nd game. Because of that POSITIVITY the 2nd game started off so much better than the 1st. The girls fought and clawed to stay close to the serving machine of Euclid. The girls were within 6 points with 1 of our better servers stepping back to the line. But Euclid's bumps were just too good for the girls to deal with. Come out on Saturday to support the girls as they play at 11:00, 12:00 and 1:00 PM.

Unbelievable, fantastic, tons of fun. These were all words used by the C volleyball girls during and after yesterday's matches. The girls entered the tournament as the lowest seeded team with only 1 win on their record. That didn't stop the girls from coming in with a positive attitude and tons of excitement. Okay maybe they were a little nervous at first, but you couldn't tell by their play. They took the floor against a bumping machine in the form of Newton for their first match. If the girls lost they would be sent home. The girls said no way as they served and passed their way to a victory in 2 games.
After looking good and winning their first match the #1 seeded Euclid Falcons awaited Powell. The first game saw the girls in a 3 - 5 point hole on a couple different occasions. But at the end of the game when they needed it most, the girls found their clutch serves as they won by 3 points. The second game was also back and forth until the girls pushed through to a 20-17 lead. With only 1 point away from victory Euclid took a stand. They got 3 clutch serves in to tie the game. When the girls needed a good pass most they got it. Rianne J walked back to serve with the game on the line and she would not let her team down as the Pumas prevailed by a score of 22-20. Onto the championship game for the girls. Bring on Goddard. Come cheer on the girls Saturday at 1:00 PM here at Powell.

Attention 7th grade volleyball players: Your end of season celebration will be held during tutorials, THIS Thursday, April 25, in Miss Goerke's room- 1067. Please bring your CLEAN jersey at this time. Mr. C and Miss G look forward to seeing you.
Your 8th grade volleyball girls once again represented Powell well yesterday afternoon. The A girls were led by some great serves from Maddie G and the human pogo stick was on full display. Taylor M was a jumping machine as she got her hands on at least 3 of Goddard's hits. The Vikings had too many clutch serves as Powell lost in 2 competitive games.
The B girls used some positive energy to work on pass, set and hit. The girls had numerous overhand hits throughout the 2 games. But it was Kaelyn S and Julianna B's hits that were the most impressive. None of that could have been possible without the great sets from Claire A and Elena P. The girls finally listened to their coaches as they hit their serves nice and deep which helped push the girls to the win in 2 games.
The C girls faced a tough squad from Goddard. Both teams served well and worked real hard to try and get as many touches on the ball as possible. It was some clutch serves from the Vikings that were too much for the girls to over come. The girls fell by just a few points in 2 closely contested games that could have gone either way.
Please come out after school as the girls host Options this afternoon.
