Six of the seven girls on the 3rd/4th grade team got a serve over, and overall, the girls played their best game to date, scoring 18 in the second set of a 25-12, 25-18 loss.
The climax of the game was when the two teams had consecutive rallies back and forth, with the 3rd/4th graders hitting the ball three times, before sending it over to the other side for a point late in the second set.
Their coaches, players and fans were all ecstatic after that play. Unfortunately, the camera man was not filming that point.
Sara, Samantha and Avalon all got a serve over for the first time and there were several instances the girls returned serves.
It was a huge step forward for this team of girls new to the sport of volleyball, and they're still not halfway through the season.
To top it off, they were facing one of the top teams in the division, so overall, it was a remarkable effort by these young girls.
Let's hope it's a sign of a lot of good things to come.
