JV Homecoming Week

Wow what a long but great week the JV & Varsity had! We started the week off with Jackson on Tuesday and i think all the girls had a great game! Tayln and Brielle had 3 Aces scoring us big points. Vashti was one of our big swingers with 9 kills followed by Kristy-Ann with 8! Steph had a great defensive game with 11 digs and 1 stuff block. Jackson was a great game for us, it really helped to start our week off with a win. Next opponent was Lyman and the JV did a great job finishing the game. We lost our first match but we came out and won in three! Loni had 2 aces this game with Cheyenne, Bekah, Brielle and Steph following with 1 ace. We had a great offensive game with big stats in the front row. Lyman being our Homecoming game it was a great win for the girls! Saturday was the last of the long week and we played a strong competitor Cokeville. This game we knew they would be great defenders and passers so as a team we kept swinging at them. The JV had a great game with Teerstyn having 2 kills and 1 stuff block. Hattie filled in for the middle a big position i needed and she did so very very well! This game was great for the girls to try new things like back row attacks and specialized hits! Overall the JV did great this week bringing in 3 wins for our season and developing new skills and growing as a team! Im so proud of them and we look forward to farson this Tuesday!

Cokeville - Varsity

This was our last game of a very busy week!!  In the first two games, my girls came out so strong and they played the best I have ever seen them play.  Their passes great, the sets were perfect, and we just kept putting it down.  I know Cokeville didn't know what hit them.  Cokeville is always a very good team!!  They are well coached and they always are very good at the fundamentals.  We knew they would be a tough team!!  We won the first and second game, and then lost the rest of them.  The difference between the first two games and the last three games was our passing.  We did not pass as well and they served to us hard.  If you don't have the passes then we don't have the perfect sets and then we don't have the hard hits!    Our offense wasn't the greatest and I felt that we were playing defense most of the time on them.  My girls never gave up.  This is a great game to learn from!!  I love playing Cokeville because it makes us play harder and we have to up our game!  We will learn from this game and in return this will make us a better team.  We will see Cokeville next week, and I hope to bring home a win!   Brooke had a great game with 7 kills, 11 digs, and 7 aces!! She was on with her jump serves!!  Patience had 12 kills.  Erin had 11 kills, 10 digs and one ace.  Christina had 7 kills, 10 digs, and one ace.  Stephanie had 2 kills and Loni had 1.   Taylor had 18 digs and 3 aces.   Jalin had 23 assist.  Brielle had 4 digs. 

Lyman - Varsity

We had a good practice on Wednesday, just to get ready for Lyman.  We hadn't seen Lyman yet so we didn't know what to expect.  We did know that they always put up a three block in the middle.  We moved Erin back to the opposite side and Loni and Stephanie shared the middle hitter spot. They both did great in this position.  We got Patience back and for the most part we had everyone healthy.  We had a great win against Lyman.  We took Lyman in four games.  The scores were Pinedale 21 - 25. 25 - 19, 25 - 19 and 25 - 11.  Brooke had 14 kills, 15 digs and an ace, Patience had 14 kills and 2 aces, and Erin had 10 kills.   Jalin had 36 assists.  Taylor had 16 digs and 2 Aces. This was another great conference win!!! 

Jackson - Varsity

On Tuesday we played Jackson!  What a big game for us, not only was it a conference game but it's JACKSON!  From what my girls tell me, they are just as much our rivals as Big Piney is.  On Monday we learned that Patience got really sick and she would be unable to play in the game against Jackson.  Then after the powder puff game, we had some more injuries.  I was concerned especially when I see three of my starters with ice packs on different parts of their bodies right before the game. :)   Not a good sign, but that didn't stop them!  They bucked up and played an amazing game against Jackson.  I have heard from various people that this was the best game they have seen the girls play so far!!   We took Jackson in four games.  The scores were Pinedale 26 - 24, 25 - 13, 22 - 25. 25 - 20.  In the third game we had a moment where we made silly mistakes and they took the lead.  We were unable to come back in time.  BUT we came out strong in the fourth game and won!!   Brooke had 16 kills, 21 digs, and 3 aces.  Erin had 8 kills and one stuff block, Jalin had 24 assist and two aces.  Kristy Ann came in and played well off the bench.  She had 2 stuff blocks.  Tayln also came off the bench and played great!  She got two aces for us!!  All the girls played well, I was very proud of them!!   

HOMECOMING WEEK!!!!

This was such a busy week for our girls!! They had three tough games, but they also had everything else that goes on during this week!!  I'm proud of each and everyone of them for staying out of trouble, focusing on the games, and staying healthy!!  :)

Varsity - Worland

This weekend we went to Worland.  It was a rough day for Pinedale.  All three teams lost, but they lost with a fight.  JV won the first game 25 - 18, second game lost 25 - 27 and lost the third game 25 - 18.  Varsity lost in three games.  25 - 13, 25 - 19 and 25 - 20.  Here are some stats.  Brooke Hocker, Erin and Jalin had pretty good games.  Brooke had 6 kills, 14 digs, and 1 ace,  Erin had 6 kills.  Jalin had 18 assists and one ace.  We changed our line-up and it showed.  We came out flat and we just couldn't get it together.  Brooke had a great game all around!!  She was hitting the ball, passing the ball, and she was up for blocks!  We will definitely learn from this game and move on.  We have a busy week ahead of us and some pretty important conference games.  We play Jackson, Lyman, and Cokeville.  Cokeville is not in our conference but they are always tough.

Team Night in the 80's

This was such a fun night!! It was so fun to see the girls dress up in 80 clothing!! After dinner we had a fashion show and we all voted to see who had the best 80's outfit!

Big Piney - JV

Tonight Pinedale played Big Piney at home and had a great game. JV won both matches and saw great things from all of our girls. Hattie Mckay did great subing in for the middle along with some great assists from Taylin Costello. Stephanie Straley and Bekah Knapp put down kills and scored big points. All of our girls played a great game tonight! We are headed to Worland on Saturday and look forward to bringing home another WIN! Great Job JV!

Big Piney - Varsity

Tuesday was a great night for Pinedale!!  JV and Varsity rocked the house!!  Varsity did well!  We were able to take Big Piney in three games.  I felt it was a total team effort!!  Maggie got to get in the game and she had some good passes!!  Stephanie went middle for the first time and she adjusted really good!!  Let me just say that she had not practice the middle position so I felt like she did great!!  Tayln got to go in for a short time in the third game, but in that short time, she played hard!!  I also felt like the girls did great when it came to hitting our specialized hits!!  Overall it was a great night!!

Rawlins 3A Tourn. 9/10 - 9/11 - Varsity

This weekend we went to Rawlins and played in the 3A Tournament. The girls did great!! We played the best we have played yet!! Our goal was to make it to the GOLD bracket, and we did. Not only did we make it to the gold, we got to the Consolation championship game. Even though we came up a little short, and lost, they played fantastic! We got 6th place out of 16 teams!!  We will learn from this weekend and we will work hard to improve. Great job girls, great weekend!!

Brooke and Taylor

Mt. View at Home 9/2 - Varsity

This was our first home game and I'm sure the girls were a little nervous.    Our first game it took us a little bit to get going.  This is something we have to work on because we need to come out strong at the beginning of every game.  I thought my girls never gave up and they played hard.  We still need to work on defense and we need to eliminate the simple mistakes.  If we improve on these two things than we will be more competitive all around.  I thought all the girls did a great job, and they never gave up.  There is a lot of talent on this varsity team.    Brooke had 12 kills, 3 aces, 2 stuff block and 19 digs.  Christina came out and had 8 kills, 1 stuff block and 1 ace.  Jalin had 22 assists.  Taylor had 16 digs.  Loni had 7 stuff block with Patience having 3.  Erin had 4 kills and and 3 stuff blocks.  Erin is trying a new position on our opposite side, I'm hoping that not only can we be a threat from the outside and middle, but we can be a threat on our opposite side too.

Mt. View at Home 9/2- JV

JV worked hard against the Lady Buffs!  They all worked hard, and it was a great effort!! We have a great chance of beating them when we match up with them again later on in the season.

Green and White Scrimmage

On Thursday we had our Green and White Scrimmage!  It was a great success and we thank everyone who came and supported us!! The girls were really excited to show off in front of their family and friends!!  We had the middle school volleyball teams come and they did a bake sale for us!!  It was fun to have the whole volleyball program under one roof!!
