On Friday our team had our first volleyball game against another private school. They were first in the league last season and were undefeated. That became especially clear by the end of the game. We did pretty well, actually, for how our team has been doing, but the other team was SO good. It seemed to me like they had been playing together for a very long time and they were all on club teams and amazing. The school we were playing was a lot bigger than my school, too, so they have a bigger pool to choose from. They were especially good hitters (spikers). They hit it hard and they aimed it and put it where we wouldn't get it. We need to improve on getting the ball when it's spiked and keeping our spirits up. Even so, though, we probably won't have a game so hard for the entire rest of the season. It's kind of unfortunate that that was our first game before we've had more time to play together and get a feel for the games, but we will learn from it.
I got to play for the entire first game and most of the second game, which was fun. I did pretty well, although I was upset at times because I could've done better. We only played two games because the other team won both of the first two (by a lot) so we didn't need a third. I felt like I did the best, and the team did especially well, at the very end of the second game. We brought it together a little bit and I thought was more of a team. We will improve, and I am confident we will do better at our next game. We might not win, but I'm sure we'll do better. I suppose we can only hope.
