14 Early gets 2nd in Gold
It
was a short commute but a long road to success for the 14
Early Team at Premier.
Each match was fought point for point.
Serves were looking good but even with the great
serves we battled to the 3rd set many times only to end up
with a loss. In one
of the 3rd sets, against a strong Buckeye team, we even went
19-17…unfortunately 14 E did not get he win that time. Our
girls did not give up.
At the end of the day we faced the SJVC Pink Panther
team for the gold.
They were the only team to beat us in 2 all day.
They proved to be a tough competitor again in the
gold round…defeating us in 2 again.
Although it was a
stress filled day for ALL involved, we are a group that will
not be shaken.
The girls are ready for their next chance to dominate the
court.

12-1
Reaches for Gold in 1st Tournament
Although they did not get 1st
in gold they made an impressive debut.
The girls received 5th in gold in Dayton …not too bad
for a group of girls that barely knew each other a few weeks
previous to arriving at their 1st match.
It was a tough start.
The girls seemed to be finding their place and rhythm
on the court early on, in day one of pool play.
After a few matches the girls began to gel on the
court and they really came alive, winning the majority of
their sets the rest of the day.
They were a fun team
to watch. They
had great passes, serves, sets, and spikes.
On day 2 of play they faced a dominate
Kentucky
team and held their own.
They did not come away with the win but they did not
make it easy for Kentucky to defeat them.
After pool play the team continued their amazing
display of teamwork.
Dayton was great opportunity for the girls to
gel on and off the court.
I have a strong feeling that these girls will be no
strangers to gold this year.
They will be a team to watch.

13-2 Columbus Tourney
The 13-2 team won first place in the gold
bracket for team bonding. Lime
green shoelaces, sweet air-brushed shirts paid for with
waitressing money, a
customized ace cheer, and freeze tag in the lobby helped
pull this team
together. They got to know each other well enough to get to
the bronze
bracket, and we expect big things in the future as their
team spirit grows.
Kudos to the parents for maintaining a straight face as they
loudly cheered
on their Starfish Guppies!
