The 8th grade girls put together their best game in their little over one year history in round two of the Flame volleyball tournament.
After losing the first set 25-23, they bounced back and pulled away in the second set for a comfortable 25-18 victory, their first career win in a set. Tiffany Y. closed out the second set with about 7 straight serves giving the girls the set victory and forcing a third and deciding set.
However, the excitement of winning their first set didn't carry over into the third and they dropped the deciding set 15-6.
By far, this was clearly the best performance from these girls. They traded pass for pass with the other team and again consistently served it over on a regular basis. Emily C. did a great job on her serves, getting the ball over on all but two tries.
They also had a chance to win the first set, as they led 20-16, only to see the other team come back to tie it and eventually pull away. They learned how to close out the set immediately and didn't let the same thing happen in set two.
The girls will play this Wednesday night at Kezar, starting at 6:15 p.m.
This game should serve as a stepping stone for a bright season to come. The girls' confidence is at an all-time high and they are primed and ready to take their game to the next level.
