14 Black had an awesome showing this past Saturday in Gresham taking 1st in their power league!! They came out strong in their first match of the day and beat a Mid-Valley team they have struggled to play with all season! It was a hard fought victory, but we kept the momentum and put them away! The girls served awesome and did a great job at the net blocking and hitting! Our next match we won in two and were looking to take first in the pool. Our last match of pool play though, we weren't quite prepared for and ended up losing in three to a team who had lost to Mid-Valley. So, there was a three way tie for 1st and we ended up 2nd in our pool based on winning percentage. That meant we had to play the first team in the other pool - AVBA!
We had played AVBA twice already this season and had only taken a game off them. The girls were up for the challenge though and played their best match all season!! Huge serving streaks, big time kills, and awesome serve receive passing put us in position to pull off the upset in three tough games! I was so proud of them! That was only our crossover match too - we still had to play in the championship! We'd never seen the Webfoot team we played in the championship and the girls came out a little slow in the first game. They certainly picked it up in the second though and fought their way back to a third game! It was nail-biter but the girls hung on and kept swinging hard! It was a great day all around and a true team effort!
Congrats 14 Black on a stellar day of volleyball!!
