figure kids list rest trying
We're still trying to figure out who will play back there. The rest of the kids on the sub list all could end up in that spot.
attaching defense exciting good match net serving
It was an exciting match with a lot of attaching and net play. Benton had good serving and attacked, but our defense was great.
fired game midway stuff
Crump's stuff midway through the first game got us fired up.
beat chance maybe saturday since ten
Ten and 0 is pretty exciting. Maybe we'll get a chance to play on Saturday since they beat us at the Akin tournament.
great job net players several strong
We were strong at the net and had several players get in and do a great job.
ball benefit easier game missing three
One server got three in a row. She was missing in game two, which was to our benefit. It makes it a whole lot easier when they give the ball back.
against definitely hard repeat state talent
We'd definitely like to repeat as state champs. I think we have the talent to do it, but it's hard to tell when you're scrimmaging against yourself all the time.
coached exciting looked practice
That looked like volleyball. It's exciting when everyone executes what you've coached them in practice.
beat conference ends last nervous night played practice whoever wins year
That made me nervous at practice. Typically whoever wins the conference ends up going 10-0 or 9-1. But we played Carbondale the first night out last year also and beat them.
baby lost surprise
They surprise you when they come back. They actually are different. Some have lost some baby fat, some are stronger, some are taller.
amanda force last snaps year
Amanda will be a force for us. She's really come along. She started at the end of last year and this year has really got it down. She snaps 'em down.
serving strong talent team
This is a strong serving team and we have height. But not just height, there's talent there. We should be strong.
finish second shoot
I thought going in that we could finish in second place but we didn't shoot as well as we had been.
last lose second year
Historically, we haven't done well at this tournament. Last year we were fourth, and to get fourth, you have to lose twice. Second is better.
