JVBC played in its second tournament today at Elite Sports Ohio.
Unfortunately, a team had to drop out somewhat last minute and we played in a 3 team pool in pool play. That means that we played matches that were best out of 5 instead of best out of 3 during the morning.
We started out playing Steel Valley. Our girls came out strong with some great serves! Marina, Emma, Kaylee, and Kara all had long streaks of serves without missing! The girls won 25-6, 25-12, and 25-9!
Next we played Pittsburgh Elite, who looked very good! We didn't quite have it during this match. The girls weren't stringing off serves as much and seemed a bit confused while playing. We lost in 3.
Next we had a break and switched up our jerseys to get some momentum back! Also, Sam and Emma got certified as scorekeeper and second referee during our ref session! They did great! We were also really excited to see former JVBC players Stephanie (about to graduate high school) and Laura (about to graduate college) at the tournament!
We came in 2nd in our pool so we were placed into the Gold bracket. We played in the quarterfinal against Elite. We were excited to play them because Sophia and Alana, both also from Jackson, are on that team!
The match against Elite was really close and well played. Both teams were so even, it was a real nail biter! We ended up losing 24-26 and 23-25 but we were so happy with how the girls played! They played much better than they did against Pittsburgh Elite and they're really coming along!
Great job today girls!
