4 wins, 3 losses was our overall record.  Good job everyone!  The intensity is getting better, the excitement is getting better, the aggressiveness is getting better!  That is what we've been working on.  As everyone can see, each individual is excelling!  Our team has still not gelled, but we will peak this year, at the end.  We are making great strides.  I am so happy with each girl pushing herself and looking the challenge that I made to them in the eye.  Things are looking good for KVC 17s. 

Well, we tried our best, but came up short at the NKJV Aces Challenge.  It was a little flat, but nothing we can't get past. 

We were 1-1 in our first pool play, beating Union 17s and losing to Dayton Jrs. DaJa Blue.

We then repooled and were 1-1 in our second pool, beating AVA 17s and losing to Evansville River City 17s.

We then came back on Sunday and lost in the first round of the gold bracket against Dayton Jrs DeJa Blue- again- in three.  We showed a little burst of energy in that match, but just couldn't hold it together to win the third game.

GREAT JOB THIS PAST WEEKEND!   Everyone did an AWESOME job this weekend.  We started out slow, and just barely got by in some squeakers, but we ended up 2-1 in our pool beating NorthStar Volleyball 18 Elite in our first match in three: 19-25, 25-18, 15-8.  Then we lost to Greater Miami Volleyball Club (GMVC 18 Lightening): 14-25, 20-25.  We came back in our third match to beat Columbus United VBC 18 Spring: 23-25, 25-18, 15-12.  Even though we beat two out of three of the other teams in our pool, we wound up in the silver bracket due to a three way tie breaker by the winning percentage of overall games.  SO...... with going on to Silver, we defeated Kaepa Miami Valley Jrs. Academy VBC 18-1 in a definite 2 game win: 25-23, 25-20 which pushed us into the FINALS against Cincy Volleyball Club 17 Red where we worked hard to win the three game match: 24-26, 25-23, 15-9. 

 I can't tell you how pround I am of all of you for your hard work, your refusal to give up, and your ability to get the game finished in the end!  We grew a lot as a team.  Some highlights of the day:  Julie getting the ball stuck, coming back from losing the first game against NorthStar to take our first match.  Coming back from being down in the third game against Columbus United 3-8 and WINNING the game for the match, crushing the Miami Valley Jrs. 18-1 team in a 2 game set.  WINNING FINALS against a tough Cincy VBC team!  And don't we have some crazy yo-yo's or what?  Walkin' the dog.......
