A team of brand new girls playing a volleyball game for the first time took the court tonight at St. Emydius. Raise your hand if you've heard that before.
Except this time, the team wasn't St. Mary's.
So the 7th/8th graders who have all been playing since 4th/5th grade took advantage of the situation and began their season with a bang, dominating their opponents, winning both sets by a score of 25-5.
Edwena put the girls out to an early 10-0 lead when she just clobbered all her serves to start the game. By the third or fourth serve, there was a feeling that this game was over.
The other team had trouble returning the ball and let a lot of balls drop, which is expected of girls who are playing for the first time.
Victoria did the same as Edwena in the second set, when she served 9 balls over to put the girls out to a 10-0 lead.
Fiona had a nice "spike" for the girls in the second set.
This team of nine comprises of six 7th grade girls, and three 8th graders. This was a team that played together for two years, in 4th/5th grade, and 5th/6th grade before being split up into different teams last season.
Now they are reunited and right now it feels so good.
Tiffany and Jamie made their volleyball debuts and both looked pretty sharp, getting their serves over and returning several of the balls hit to them. It was hard to tell that they had never played a game before tonight.
Game two for the girls comes tomorrow afternoon, after they got a bye the first week of the season.
This win was the largest margin of victory for any St. Mary's volleyball team in school history.
