On Saturday December 8th. The Durham Attack 14U Red Girls team set out to
Trenton for a 15U Zone Tournament.
We started the day off playing the Trenton Astros with a very well-played
game and came out on top with a 25-17 set then another 25-18 set that won the
match. We sat out one game, ate health food (Shannon and Chantal brought
some really good cookies) and we sat around having a great time.
The next match against DRVC Blue was a tough one and we lost two very close
games of 25-21 and 26-24, although some very amazing plays were made by our
team. Once again we sat off one match and even though we lost to DRVC we
had a positive attitude and were mentally prepared to win the next match.
For our last pool play match we played the Mavericks and came out with a
spectacular win of 25-22 and 25-8. As soon as we finished we rushed
immediately to play again against DRVC Orange and had a well played game but
lost both sets. Kudos to Orange who played very well with winning scores
of 25-8 and 25-11 against us. During one of these games Hailey chose to
show us all her fearless determination by diving head first into the wall to try
to make a play, she's okay now and hopefully she won't have to do that again!
Right after, and I mean right after, we played another match against Pegasus for
5th or 7th place in Zone C. This day our lucky number was "5"! With
3 intense games 26-24, 25-20 and a third set to break the tie, we won 5th place
with a score of 15-8.
Overall the day was great and the girls still had positive
attitudes. 5th place out of 12 in a 15U tournament so early
in the season...Way to go Durham Attack 14U Red Girls!!! WELL
DONE!!!
