This was the first time the whole JV has played together in a game and for even a practice since we scrimmage the Varsity it is hard for all of my girls to play together at the same time. For the first time out together I though they did very well overall. They are learning that they have to be focused the whole match to pull out a win which is what happened against Mt. View. We won the first set lost the 2nd then ended up losing the 3rd. It wasn't that the girls played bad or Mt. View was better than us because our stats were really good, we just lost focus in key moments where we could not afford to. The girls are getting better and better each game about understanding that. Hana had a great serving game she only missed one serve and had 3 aces. Gilly had 100% serving with 10 serves. Talyn and Gilly led the team with kills with 6 each and Heidi was close behind with 5. Baylee passed the ball amazing with a 2.26 average and it really helped contributing to the kills.
Star Valley-
The girls had something to prove after losing to Mt. View in 3. We really stressed being focused the whole time and finishing to the end in our pre-game talk and boy did they come to show me they could do it. We beat Star Valley in 2 games. The first set was a dog fight, the score was 29-27 Pinedale. I was so proud at how hard they fought to win that first game. After the win they let down a little bit and we had to come from behind, but they never gave up and played until the very end and ended up winning 25-20. Gilly once again had 100% serving game. Heidi and Talyn both had 2 aces. Kyla had some great sets and ended with 13 assists for the match.
Big Piney-
After a long labor day weekend we came back to finish out our 3 Matches in a row with Big Piney at home. The girls had something to prove since they lost the last game at home. They not only wanted to win but wanted to in dominating fashion. Big Piney is a long time rival and it was fun to get the win in 2 games on our home floor. We still gave away too many points from our unforced errors but the girls are learning what a mind game volleyball is. I'm proud of them for not getting down on themselves and fighting back to win the second set. Heidi had 4 kills. Carly and Tayln both had 3 kills. Baylee passed at a 2.00 serve receive. Shaelee had a solo stuff block. Our serving really won this game for us. We served tough and had 15 aces as a team with Kyla leading the way with 4 of those 15.
