...before I could write about the games.
The girls played great. They were up against St Mary's Newton and Holy Savior. They lost both matches, but did win one game against Holy Savior, and only lost the tie breaker by 2 points. The smallest margin possible in volleyball.
Emily is playing on an 11 person 8th grade level team. There are 4 total from her class that are "playing up", so they basically skipped the whole 7th grade season.
The diocese requested that all 8th grade level players serve overhand, which our team is doing, but some of the girls are not as comfortable doing this as others, which is where our game lacks. With time,though, that will come. The other teams we played allowed their girls to serve whichever way the wanted, so their serves were more consistent. Although, Allison, from our team, had a run of 7 in a row, and Emily had 3 runs, 2 of them of 4 and 1 of them of 3 in a row. She only did not make her first serve of the day over, and she was the only player on the team to play the entire 5 games they played. She never subbed out.
Now, so you don't think our coaches are mean, because they are not, they did ask the girls after their first match if they wanted to serve underhand, and all of them agreed they wanted to serve overhand. So, it was basically their choice, when they saw other teams doing it underhand, but the Tigers, decided to keep trying overhand. So, any parents reading this, it was the kids decision for the 2nd game.
They have 4 games this week. Monday, Thursday, and 2 on Saturday.
