The 7th/8th grade volleyball and soccer teams will both go for the championships in their first year together as teams.
Both are coming off clutch performances in the playoffs and will look to bring home a title.
It starts tomorrow night, 6:15 p.m. at St. Emydius when the volleyball team takes center stage. This collection of eight girls are riding a six game winning streak. The last time they lost was when they played Epiphany, their adversary in the game Friday night.
In that game, they lost the first set and were off to a real slow start. They stormed back and demolished them in the second set 25-4. They erased a huge deficit in the final set and almost came back to win, but instead lost 18-16 in set three.
When they last met, it was game three of the season. Now they meet in the final game, with both teams better than they were close to six weeks ago.
The 7th/8th grade girls are peaking at the right time, serves solid and really developing their bump, set and spike skills.
On the soccer field, the 7th/8th grade boys are riding a winning streak of their own, not having lost in six straight games.
The team they go up against SVDP, was the number one team in the division. The last time these two teams met was a 1-1 tie.
Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. at Silver Terrace, rain or shine.
The teams will be playing on a synthetic turf and the ball will move quicker on that, than it does on grass. After playing an entire season on the spotty at best grass on the fields of West Sunset, this could definitely be an adjustment.
It will benefit the fast forwards on the team, but it also means the defense needs to be quicker than they were in the playoff game.
Their key to victory will be their defense, which has given up only one goal in their last three games. If the defense can be strong, it will give the talented forwards on the team time to wear down the other team's defense.
Anthony, who will get the start in goal, is coming off his best game of the year, where he made several spectacular saves.Offensively, Eloy and Sebastian lead the charge, as the two were the top goal scorers on the team. Pablo, who runs from end line to end line, supports both the offense and defense and undoubtedly has been one of the most important facets on both sides of the field.
This weekend has the making of something spectacular, historic and epic. Be there to witness it all unfold.
See you at the games.
