Today we had our first, and last VA home game! We played a school no one had ever heard of before. Our gym has a pretty low ceiling, which makes it harder to play because serves or the ball could hit the ceiling and it either causes the other team to get the point, or it changes where the ball goes which makes it harder to get. Since we practice there, we had an advantage because we've had to deal with the ceiling and practice playing without letting the ball hit it. A bunch of parents and other students came to watch us play. My friend's dad, who takes amazing pictures with fancy cameras, came and took pictures of the game, and then a picture of the whole team in our uniforms after the game.
We won both games, and therefore the match. We played well, and set up for hits a lot and did some really good ones. Also, the other team wasn't as good as the other teams, although they did some good things. The home court advantage did help us, though, because they hit the ceiling with serves and other things, which we did much less.
We won the first game by a lot. The second game was much closer, ending with a score of 22 to 25, but we won! We did well, but we got kind of lazy later on not going for some things and they brought it harder. It was never a question, though, that we were going to win (at least the match) and we did it!
That was our last game, and the only one we won this year, but it was a fun game! It was a great season and I learned a lot! I'm so happy we had a good coach this year who had us set up hits, and a good team of people who improved so much! I feel like if we'd had more time to practice together we would've done so much better, and maybe even won more games! It was a great season, it's so sad that it's over already! It went by so fast. I am grateful that I got the chance to play on this team this year, and I hope they continue to improve the quality of playing once we leave and new people join!
