Lander was a rough game. We did not pass well at all. And because our passes were not there, our sets and hits were not there either. They came out ready to play and they did not give up, but we couldn’t come up with a win. Lander plays a tipping game and sometimes it is hard to defend if you are not use to that kind of game. I know that if we meet up with them again, we will be able to win.

Since we lost to Lander we did not play until Sat. morning. We had the first game Sat. morning at nine against Jackson. If we lost, we would be out and we would not go to State. Jackson beat us in season, and at conference duals we beat them. We knew we had to pass better in order to beat Jackson. We did pass a lot better!! We served a 92% as a team and we passed much better. Erin and Christina had 17 kills, with Patience having 10 and Teerstyn having 5. Our hitters were doing a great job of putting the ball down!! Brielle did a great job passing and playing defense. She had 7 digs with Patience having 12 digs. Teerstyn had a great game. She had 6 blocks; she did amazing playing the net. Jalin had 52 assists; she played fantastic! Vashti came in off the bench and served 2 aces in the heat of the moment. I was proud of her, there was a lot of pressure on her at that time. Overall, all the girls came together and played with a lot of heart. They did not want this game to be the last.

By winning this game it just meant we needed to win one more game in order to make it to State. We played Mt. View, which we split with them in our regular season. My girls were ready to play. Overall they played great!! We took Mt. View in three games, that is how bad my girls wanted it. Erin had 14 kills, Christina had 10 kills, and Patience and Teerstyn both had 6 kills. We passed really well this game, Stephaine had 4 digs, and she did a great job on the right side. A lot of Mt. View’s tips and hits went to our right side and Stephaine was able to handle it. I was very proud of her. With this win, WE GO TO STATE!!!

Next we played Stat Valley for 3rd and 4th. Going into the game I knew it would be hard just because my girls were tired!! They just got done playing 8 games, and we had been in the gym since 8:15 in the morning. They came out in the first game and played really well. We stayed with them and then we beat them by two. The next three games we lost. We just simply ran out of gas. Erin led us in kills with 12, Patience had 9 and Christina had 8. Kristy Ann had a great game, she had great defense and she was swinging at the ball hard. She had 3 kills. Star Valley has big hitters, and I felt that my defense did a great job defending their hits. Tayln had a great game. She led our team with digs. She had 13 digs!! Brielle had 12 and Patience had 10.

This will be a short week for us; we leave on Wednesday to go to Casper. We play Thursday at 3pm against Douglas the first seat team on the other side. We have not seen them yet.
