OJVA 12U-Red team started out as the third seed in a pool that included Athena-Gold (#2), Or NW Jr's (#14) and the Blues (#30) and after great matches with Athena and going to a third set with Or NW JR's, we lost our serve and just plan got beat by the Blues… Coach Amber and I were proud of how the girls handled the loss with a wonderful show of sportsmanship. That put us 4th in our pool and in danger of losing some real ground in the seeding. We realized that we had some real work ahead in the afternoon rounds and with great team spirit, the girls rallied to win both matches in the afternoon cross over (despite some coaching errors). I think the thing the girls appreciated and enjoyed the most was the Victory Tunnel and the cheers of the Gold team after our first afternoon win. And, the Red team reciprocated after the Gold's last match… going undefeated for the day… what fun and what OJVA spirit. This is a great team of 11 girls who truly support and encourage each other and it is wonderful to watch. A special thanks to the parents for their support and encouragement too… Great Job RED! coach Pat
