Mountain View
Score:
16-25
20-25
Coming off their 3rd place tournament
win, the freshman faced Mountain View at home. This was the freshman’s first
high school home volleyball game. Being their first home game their excitement
and nerves where all running high to start the game. Nerves definitely got the
best of us and we lost to Mountain View in two. In our first game we struggled
with hitting and being confident in our movements. The girls didn’t talk and
forgot the simple cues that we practice every day. After the first game we got
some of the nervousness out and started playing. 6 of our girls served 100% in
this game. Shelbi Tegeler added in 4 hitting aces to help us fight back and
make it a close second game. Getting the first home game out of the way is
always good and let us see what we need to continue to work on.
Star Valley
Score:
22-25
17-25
We next made the trip to Star Valley. Star Valley is
a tough team and we knew going into the game we would have to fight for every
point. It was a close battle and Star Valley barely got by us in the first game.
The second game we fell behind early on. The girls didn’t give up
and stayed positive. Staying positive and not getting down is something as a
team we have been working on. This game I got to see a huge turnaround in our
girls and they had great attitudes for the whole entire game. I believe this is
what made us come back and stay in the second game. 7 of our girls served 100% for the whole game.
Sabrina Gay had 2 hitting aces in the game. It was a total team effort and we
fought hard.
Big Piney
25- 21
25- 14
The Big Piney game is always a big game every year.
Freshman came in focused and ready to play on their home court. To start the
game we came out firing and got an early lead. We then ran into some serving
and defensive transition problems, which lead to Big Piney catching up with us. With a total team effort, the girls pulled together
to win the first game. Going into the second game we knew that our transitions
had to be smoother and as a team. This is something we have been working on and
have struggled in past games. In the second game it finally all came together
and the girls pulled ahead of Big Piney and didn’t look back. Highlights of the
game was Savannah Rogers having 8 serving aces and Lily Jensen having 3
hitting kills to help us bring home the victory. We learned a lot
from this game and what we need to work on. I am so proud of each and every
girl on the team. It takes every single freshman on the team to win each game!
