12 Gold Power League #2

Finally got to play in our gold power league after the snow cancellation of last month. Excited to see how we compared to other teams out there. We started off the day against Athena and were ahead by a few points each game, won 25-20, 25-18. Felt good to start off with a solid win. Next we played Mac and won the first game easily but struggled with service receive the second. We ended up having to go to game three and what a thriller! Each point was served in and rallied by both teams. We finally won 21-19 and I am now charging parents for my hair coloring !!! We finished pool play against the number one team Westside but handled them easily to win our pool. We went right into playoffs against PVC. We won the first game by serving well and playing defense. Then struggled against one of their servers to start game two in the hole by 7 points. We started to play again but never could catch up and had to go three. Once again a very competitive match, we fought back from a hole again to go up 13-12 but then a crucial miss call by the ref, not giving us a replay when the ball hit the overhang, and then another good server by PVC meant we just missed getting to the finals by 15-13. We ended the day quickly by beating Athena 25-10 to stay at our number 3 seed. Nice job by all for the day but we have some work to do on serve receive! Loved our serving and the fact that people are starting to go for balls on defense. Excited to work hard to get ready for Spokane.

Thanks to all the parents for their great support. Saw lots sporting OJVA shirts, lots of cheering and plenty of food for all. Thanks for the latte run to keep the coach on her toes! With all the close games we had plenty of excitement for the day! Go OJVA Gold!
