the Flames are on a 1 match winning streak. The Bad
news - the winning streak was proceeded by 3 straight Storm: From Coach Green: Storm finished 1-3. We played well, just have to make a few small adjustments to win more matches. When we pass, set, hit we win points. Cyclones: From Coach Roland: Team Cyclones played excellent volleyball all day. We finished first in our pool at 5 - 1. The effort and hustle was more than I could have asked for. I was very pleased at not only the determination to win with hustle and effort but also their officiating duties. It's the best of any team in our division. Great Job!!!
Blaze: From Coach Ron - A real
tough & frustrating day for my group. Went 0-4 in pool play...lost all
matches that we could have won. We brought our tool box to put in a good
days work...but, we still have to learn to operate the tools with efficiency
that's in the box to get the job done effectively. We're not hurting from the
athletic standpoint...still waiting for our individual fundamentals to come
together collectively as a team. When we all can put the ball in play on our
serves as we move thru our rotation and our serve/receive passing game
is making it to target at a 70% success ratio and both are striking the same
cylinder consistently in games...we'll see the match wins success we
so desperately long for. Hoping to see that happen in our last tourney
(regional) coming up. Would be a great way to end the season for this
squad...they deserve it with all the hard work they have put in. No doubt
that we have seen tremendous progress with each player from top to bottom of
our line-up...I know we all want to see that improvement show up in the wins
column for the next tourney. I see the potential for it all to come
together to end our season in grand style. Want my group to know that we
(coach and parents) are vey proud of your effort this season....we shall
persevere. I BELIEVE IN YOU...KEEP THE
CAN-DO ATTITUDE!
