Cardinal Team Update
Congratulations go out to our Cardinal team for their win against Kennesaw Mountain Junior Mustangs last evening at Alatoona High School. The Cardinal team then played the Alatoona Junior Buccaneers and took them to 3 games, losing a very close game. Girls, you are learning this game and having fun, what a powerful combination. Every minute you play this game, you learn something about yourself and how this game is played. Week after next, you will begin to take your game to a new level as you learn to self-evaluate your skills by using the camera and some very-cool software.
Last week, the Cardinal team opened up their 2008 playing season against Kell and Hillgrove. The Cardinal team was working through a new offense and new teammates and lost both matches. During those games, it was obvious to the coaches that these players were gaining momentum and energy each minute that passed while they were on the courts. Girls, you will see these teams again later this season and will take what you learned about them and show them what your are capable of.
Gold Team Update
Congratulations go out to our Gold team for their opening season win against Chattohoochee Junior Cougars and Kennesaw Mountain Junior Mustangs. Once again, our girls were working with new team-mates and a brand new offense. We had told the girls to "fake it till you make it" if they found themselves confused and out of rotation. There were times that we looked at each other and had to signal to keep going, trying to keep the officials from noticing. To their credit, we worked through all those un-forced errors and won all games. Very tough serving and solid serve receive was the key to working through these first matches.
