Regionals

Cody  25 - 21, 25 - 11, 25 - 18
Cody is a tough team that has two key hitters.  The first game we were able to take them out of the equation, but we still came up with the lost.
My team passed well and hit the ball well in this game.  Brooke had 4 kills, 16 digs. Patience had 7 kills, 5 digs, and 2 aces. Erin had 6 kills, 7 digs, 3 stuff blocks. Christina had 4 kills.  Jalin had 20 assist and one ace.  The second and third game we had a hard time passing.  Kristy Ann had a stuff block. 

Worland  vs Pinedale 25 - 15, 25 - 16. 26 - 24

Because we lost to Cody, we had to play Worland who lost to Mt. View earlier.  This game was the game that the loser goes home.  I was so proud of my girls, they came out playing tough and they played hard all three games!!  This was a great win for them!!  We were hitting a lot more, our passes were a lot better.  Brooke had 9 kills, 23 digs, and one block.  Patience had 9 kills, 4 digs, 5 stuff blocks.  Erin had 9 kills, 7 digs, and 4 aces.  Tayln had 4 aces and 6 digs.  Taylor had 19 digs.  Jalin had 31 assists.  Loni had 4 kills and Steph and Christina both had 2 kills.  Brielle had 11 digs.  My team played great defense and served hard to Worland!!  Because we won we got to play the next morning against Jackson.  I felt really good about playing Jackson.  We beat them earlier in the season, and we just lost to them in 5.  I knew we could do it!!

Jackson 25 - 17, 29 (us) - 27, 25 - 18, and 25 - 10

The first game the girls came out playing hard.  We struggled for a little bit, but we didn't give up.  The second game we were a head most of the game.  Then they caught up to us in the last points and it was close.  My girls never gave up and took the win!!  They played hard and they wanted it!  The last two games our passing was off and we weren't moving on defense like we should of.  They have some big hitters and they hurt us.  Brooke had a good game, she kept swinging and passing well.  She had 13 kills and 18 digs.  They were all over Patience but she still had 9 kills and 6 digs.  Christina had 8 kills, 4 digs, and one dig.  Erin and Tayln both contibuted with an ace. Loni and Stephanie both had one kill. 

This was a hard lost.  Because we lost, we were not going to state.  Even though we did not make our goal this year, I'm still proud of each and everyone of them!!  They are the best group of girls, and I love coaching them.  They will just get better and better through pre-season and through the summer.  These girls are motivated to get in the gym and work hard at their skills so they can become better!

We played Jackson on Thursday!  It was a great game and  a lot of people came to support us!!  However we lost but they fought till the end!  The scores were

25              21
25              20

12              25
20              25
15              10

We knew that Jackson was going to be tough.  It was their homecoming and senior night.  Their emotions were going!  The first two games were close but we couldn't quite get ahead.  The third game my girls came out playing and playing hard!  We started out in another rotation and it helped!  The fourth game they played well!  The last game they came out with a 7 -0 lead on us and it is very hard to come back and win, especially when you are only going to 15.  By losing this game, it put us into third place going into Regionals and we will be playing Cody.  Cody took 2nd place in their conference.  Cody will be tough!  We played them before and they won, but we took them four games.  They are beatable!!  We have four practices and then off to Regionals!!  Stats - Brooke had 17 kills, 10 digs, two aces, one stuff block.  Patience had 12 kills, 6 digs, four aces, and five stuff blocks.  Patience had a great game all around!!  Erin had 10 kills, 3 aces, 7 digs, and 4 stuff blocks.  Christina had 7 kills and 7 digs.   Jalin had 43 assist, 5 digs, one ace, and 2 blocks.  Taylin had 9 digs and one ace, Brielle had 8 digs.  Kristy Ann had 2 kills and one block.

JV Conference Duals

Conference duals turned out to be a great weekend for the Lady Wrangler JV team. As a team the girls knew that this was their last tournament play before their final match against Jackson which ends the season for JV. All the girls came out strong and had something to prove. Our first match was against Cody a team with a lot of talent. Our first game was 25/20 Cody and eventhough we lost we were warmed up and determined to get the next game. We took Cody to 3 games winning the second 25/18 and the third game 15/12. Brielle Buchanan had 2 aces along with Tayln Costello and Vashti Fandek. The front row showed up swinging against Cody, Vashti Fandek had 11 kills and Loni Wells had 8 kills. Kristy Brandewie was our strongest defensive player with 11 digs.

The Lady Tigers was our next match and we were coming off a win and ready to play. This game was such a turn around for my girls they all came out and played to win no matter what. We had great team unity and even the girls coming off the bench contributed greatly to this win. Our first match was 25/21 and the second was 25/20. Winning matches in two games is something as a team we had set as our goal. Its very hard to come out strong and keep that momentum throughout each game. It helps when you have great servers like Taylin Costello who had 3 Aces along with Loni Wells Brielle Buchanan and Vashti Fandek who had 2 Aces. Also our front row showed its diverse talent with our opposite Kristy Brandawie who had 6 Kills and our outside Vashti Fandek who had 5 kills. Ali Wadsworth is one sub I put in wherever I need her in the back row and she always comes out ready to play and delivers great passes.

Saturday was a new day and we were still determined to win our next two games. The first match was against Powell who had strong hitters and tall blockers. In the first game we came back from being behind 8 points and finished 27/25 a very close and competitive game. Going into the second game I just told the girls to go out swinging and play scrappy. We finished the second game 25/22 another close game. This game was a huge turnaround for one of our middles who is just a freshman this year, Teerstyn Johnson who had 2 solo blocks and 5 kills, Its so rewarding seeing a girl finally come into her own and having fun playing the game. Vashti Fandek also had a great hitting game with 7 kills. Brielle Buchanan our libero had an awesome passing game with 14 digs. Tayln Costello came out with 4 aces against Powell.

Finally the last match was against Worland a team who had beat us twice outside of conference duals so we had to come out with a win. The first match was close and a fight coming to a final score of 26/24 and the second was 25/18. Loni wells was a huge contributor with 7 Kills along with 4 kills from Stephanie Straley. Bekah Knapp had a great serving game with 2 Aces. Brielle Buchanan was all over the back row with 15 digs. The girls wanted finish conference duals undefeated, leaving a lasting impression on the teams for next year and they surely accomplished that. I am so proud of this JV team they have accomplished all the goals as a team and they surely showed their true talent individually and as a team. Thanks girls for a fantastic Conference Duals and showing up to play every game you make my job so much fun and so rewarding.

Lyman, Cokeville, Mountain View

Lyman Eagles was a fantastice game for the JV Lady Wranglers, we came out strong and playing as a team. Bekah Knapp had 6 kills this game following was Kristy Ann Brandawie who had 4 kills. I love having such a diverse front row it really helps to bring huge hitters from every angle. Teerstyn and Kristy Ann had 1 assist block great job girls. Loni Wells had 2 aces and Brielle Bekah Cheyenne and Steph had 1 Ace. This match was a great win for the girls and way to take it to them in two.

The Cokeville panthers may be small but they are strong competitors. We knew they would swing hard every time so we had to give it right back. Bekah had 4 kills along with Steph and Teerstying with 3 kills. Brielle was working hard in the back row and showed it with 6 digs. Hattie Mckay and Bekah came into the game and contributed 2 Aces, great job Hattie thanks for being ready to play and coming in and delivering. Stephanie, Brielle, Cheyenne and Tayling also had 1 ace, great job girls. Cokeville was a good win for us as a team its just one step closer to our goal for a winning season.

Mountain View Buffalos was a team we had lost to early in the season so we were out to show them we were a new and improved team. It was a close and very competive first game the score was 27/25 a great win, the second game was 25/21. Brielle had a fantabulous serving game with 4 aces along with Bekah and Vashti who had 2. Vashti really had a learning game changing her serve up to keep it in and when to play smart on and off the net, so proud of her! The best part of this match was the front row we had so many great things happen. Loni had 8 kills, Kristy had 5, Vashti had 6 and Teerytsn had 2 it just goes to show how diverse we are as a hitting team and as individuals we have so much talent.

Cokeville - Varsity away

Oh, good old Cokeville!!  We will get you one of these days!! We came out strong and won the first game pretty well.  My girls were passing great, putting up blocks, and just hitting the ball!  Patience had an amazing blocking game, and Brooke had a great game all around.  She was passing well and putting the ball down!!  The scores were Pinedale 25 - 19, 22 - 25, 17 - 25, and 15 - 25.  By the second game our passing wasn't the greatest, and by the 3rd and 4th it went down hill.  They have such hard servers and they spot serve really well!!  Volleyball is such a mental game that they got into our heads by the 3rd game and we couldn't come out of it.  The stats:  Brooke had 10 kills, 3 digs, 1 ace, and 1 stuff block.  Patience had 8 kills, 4 digs, 5 stuff blocks. Erin had 5 kills, and Christina had 4 kills.

Farson - Varsity

We played Farson last Tuesday for our last home game.    The scores were Pinedale 25 - 17, 25 - 8 and 25 - 15.  My girls played very well.  Our goal was to come out strong and finish strong, and they did just that.  
(I only have half of the stats for this game.  The rest must be in my office.)  As a team we had quite a few aces.  Patience had 4, Christina and Taylor both had three, and Jalin had 1.  As far as blocking, Erin had 4 stuff blocks, Jalin, Steph and Patience had 1.  More stats to come . . . .
