I love this tournament. It is the first games of the season and gives me a chance to see how far we have come after 2 weeks of 2 a day practices. The girls had worked hard and now it was time to show it. Since JV and Varsity are in different pools and brackets we have to split the teams and not share any players. It turns out being really fun because of this we only have 7 players. They gets lots and lots of playing time to improve their skills.
We opened up with Thermopolis in pool play and boy did the girls look scared to play. Eventually they let go of the nerves and ended up splitting with them. They went through out pool play and split with every single team including 2 4A schools Sheridan and Riverton. I was so proud after the first day of play. They were learning to play with each other and to trust each other as teammates. We had some close games and at least gave everyone in our pool a loss. The next day we opened up with Rock Springs in Bracket play. They were an awesome team and had done well in the other pool. We played AWESOME! I was so proud of our fundamental defense and pure determination to win. We sent Rock Springs home in 3 close games! The girls were SO excited! We then met up with Riverton and got worn down. We took the first game and then ended up losing the next two.
Overall I think the girls learned a lot and had a great weekend. I was proud of them for never giving up in a match and putting up a fight until the very end. I'm excited about the season and what these girls are capable of accomplishing.
