On Wednesday we had our last official game. It was a school we felt confident we could beat. We left early to get to the game on time. In the first game we were SOOOO close we could taste the victory that could have happened. The ending score was 24 to 26 and they won. It was a devastating loss, and I really could've seen it going the other way with us winning! The girl who served last and won the game for them was one of their best. She had a jump serve that was amazing, and hard to return. The second game wasn't as close and we lost 15 to 25. We played really well in the first game, and in the end of the second game. We had some really good rallies and we set it up to hit more and got some good hits! I felt like I could've done much better, but I did do a pretty good job. I had one thing where I was in the front row and we were returning the ball after a hit, and it didn't get passed to the setter, it was to me, and instead of setting it, I tipped it back over the net and it went right to the spot in the center of the court where no one was! No one got the ball and it was our point! Another thing that I did that was really good was also in the second game. We worked on blocking in practice on Tuesday, and especially where the people in the back row should be while some people in the front row are blocking. In the second game I was in the right back and the setter and the right front were blocking, and I went right where our coach had told us we should be in that situation (right behind the blockers to cover the tips) and it was tipped over and since I was in the correct place, I got the ball and it was a good pass right to the setter!
Overall, I think we played well, and it was so frustrating how close we were to winning the first game! We were so close! We improved so much since the beginning of the season, and we played a really good game!
