JVBC played in its 4th tournament at Wooster's Edgewood Middle School on Saturday. The girls continued to play well and improve on their skills! They seemed especially good at knowing and switching their positions this tournament!
They started off the day playing Club Extreme, who they played at the Massillon Rec Center. Club Extreme had improved a lot and proved to be a tough opponent! Our Jackson girls managed to pull out the win though, 25-21 and 25-16.
Our second match was against Cleveland Volleyball Club. This team was very good and our girls played well against them, staying right with them throughout the match. They ended up losing 18-25 and 17-25.
Our third match was against Impact. This team had 2 boys on it (in 12U they are allowed to play) - the first team we saw taking advantage of this rule this year! This match also had possibly the most exciting 5 minutes of volleyball JVBC has ever had! It started at the end of the first game, when Kaylee "dunked/tipped" the ball over on a very tall boy, #11. This was possibly illegal but the play was very exciting and wasn't called! This led to the girls winning the first game 25-22. Early in the next match, Kaylee had an awesome block against #11. The very next play was a great block by #11 against a hard hit by Kaylee. The gym erupted in to cheers after all of this! JVBC ended up losing the second game and came back into it and almost pulled out the win in the third game. They lost 13-15.
In the girls' 4th match, they played Ohio Xtreme. They'd seen another Xtreme team at our first tournament but had not yet played this one. The girls played great! They won 25-18 and 25-11.
This brought us to the championship of the Silver Bracket! In this match the girls played Northshore. They played ok this match but seemed a little tired and just couldn't quite put plays together. They lost 18-25 and 19-25.
The day was a good one, although we missed Amanda, who missed this tournament. A congratulations also goes out to Marley and Kaylee who were certified in scorebook and second refereeing respectively. This was quite impressive!
Congratulations on a great day girls! Also, enjoy the week off - there's no practice on Tuesday!
