The Lady Eagles traveled to Laney Tuesday night with the intention of playing them again Wednesday to determine the 2nd seed in the state playoffs. But we let ourselves down with too many errors. We came out a bit shaky in game 1, letting Laney take that one, 18-25. The Eagles bounced back in game 2 to take a close game, 25-22! Things appeared to be going our way and then Game 3-- one, I’d rather not rehash because we hurt ourselves (12-25) L. We came out for Game 4 and things were back and forth. Laney began to pull way but the Lady Eagles kept fighting. With the score 17-24, Laney’s middle hitter hit one long—the down official first called the ball out and point for us, then the up official questioned a touch—the down official then called a touch. I questioned who and the number, which neither official could provide. They called the game and the match. It’s all well and fine to lose to a good team but it is heart wrenching for these girls to play hard and have it decided on a questionable call. I am a firm believer in letting the kids decide and play it out.
We still received the 3rd seed for the state playoffs and are going to take on Green Hope or Lee County. I will forward team, time and place as soon as I know.
Some stats from last game:
Jessica McGill: 4 kills, 6 assists, 2 blocks, and 3 digs---She took one dig right in the chest. It was so hard that it knocked the breath out of her and somehow she managed to get up for the next play!!
Kelsey Hopper: 7 kills, 6 blocks
Jordan Sutton: 11 assists
Amanda White: 5 kills, 1 ace
Sarah Harriss: 6 kills, 4 blocks, 2 digs
Samantha Dowless: 6 digs, 1 ace
Stephanie Willetts: 4 kills
A special thank you to the REP (Rally Eagle Pride) that showed up for our game last night. Also to Coach Dimock who loaned them some "spirit" jerseys and Ms. Pinnick for letting them use the Eagle Mascot. We appreciate the support!
