October 19 Sectional: Lapel
ISD Varsity Volleyball vs. Lapel for the Sectional - We came to Lutheran to play Lapel at 6:30 last night; we did our warm ups and were physically ready to play! They defeated us at the beginning of season. We wanted to pay them back. We opened competitively points tying 9-9. Then we fumbled and let them take the lead to 9 - 17. That was where we started to let them take control and lost 13 to 25. Coach Bippus told the girls that she expected them to play at least 4 or 5 games so we must fight back. Sure enough, we fought back and had a rally all the way. We were leading 24 to 23, and they called time out. We got back on the court and wanted to win so badly. With our little errors they had an opportunity to grab it and won 24 to 26. The 3rd game was our worst. I think my girls were very tense and couldn't play the way they were supposed to do. Lapel took advantage of us and won 9-25.

In the 2nd, we played beautifully but lost 18 to 25. In the 3rd game, they took control of us and with our mental errors we let them win again 14 to 25. Coach Bippus told the girls that we have a hope for the sectional. We will play Lapel on Thursday and hope to meet Lutheran again in the final. I believe in my girls! We can do it!

October 10: Eastern Hancock
We played against Eastern Hancock here at our court. It was our last home match. At CSSD, it was a cake walk for us but it wasn't last night. We played so well, but the games were like day and night. Lots of cheering and silence in the stands. First game, we were a little off balance and they led 7 to 0 but we managed to catch up and lost 22 to 25. Second game, we were so hot and we made 21 to 10 but our mental errors got to us but we won 25 to 21. The third and fourth games were up and down all the way but we lost 14-25 and 23-25. I'm very proud of my players to have improved a lot since the beginning of the season.

Our next match was against Taylor; we were pretty sure we would play better than the first match. Unfortunately, we didn't do our best and let them take control us and lost both games, 15-25 & 26-28. Our 3rd match was against Clinton Prairie which was the most exciting games for us all after 2 losses in the morning. We played much better with a fundamental game. CP was also a good team. We lost 20-25 & 15-25. We were supposed to play Northwest for our 4th match, but they decided to forfeit us and we "won" that match. We were 1-3 for that tournament.
