If you were not in attendance on Saturday you missed some great volleyball. As the Powell girls showed everyone how much they have improved. The C girls started showing off first, but they came out a little bit tentative. They found a way to fight back and showed the determination and patience it took to learn how to get 3 hits. Even after the girls lost the 1st game they did not give in to the horrible style of volleyball of their opponent. The girls doubled down on their serves and 3 hits to fight back as they won the 2nd game. The 3rd game needed deep and consistent serves from the girls but they could not execute as the girls lost in heartbreaking fashion with a score of 12-15 in the 3rd game. Regardless of the outcome the coaches were proud of their effort and we can say with 100% confidence that out C girls understand how to play real volleyball.
The B girls came out determined to not let the same thing happen to them. They were a little bit nervous to start, but once things got going the girls stepped up. The girls used good passes, amazing sets and deep serves to put pressure on their opponent. So many of the B girls did great, but some highlights were Juliet S with her serves, Emma L with her sets, Piper P with the owning of the net and Scarlett R with her great hits. The girls got the job done and earned the win. The B girls were the most dominant of the 3 teams as they only gave up double digit points to their opponents in 1 of the 4 games they played. Awesome job ladies.
The most exciting or heart stopping match came from the A girls. The girls were visibly nervous when they started. But they put together enough good serves and attacks to win the first game by 5 points. The 2nd game was a different story. Something happened and the wheels came off the bus as the girls could not execute anything. They were pummeled by a score of 7-21. The girls needed to show some resiliency if they were going to get the job done and pull out the win. They started off slow in the 3rd game by spotting Eulicd a 0-3 lead. But the clutch serves of Ellen M, Megan B, Rowan H and Annalyse B are what allowed the team to pull out the victory by a score of 15-11.
Congratulations girls on a fantastic season and pay attention for the announcement of the end of the year celebration.
