Volleyball: Undefeated? Almost...
We wrapped up our Fall Volleyball season today. Last Saturday we had 3 wins, no ties or losses. Today we tried to achieve an undefeated season.
At practice on Tuesday, Hayley was feeling cocky. One of the other coaches mentioned that we had no losses. On our final day we had games scheduled within our own site only, so we were playing that coach's team. Hayley decide to place a bet on our game with his team. She wanted to bet $5, but the coach only had $1 to put on the line.
Game day arrived today.
Game 1 was a win. A good start for the day!
Game 2 was our downfall. The other team was short a player, so Hayley switched teams for that game. We play to 25, but the winners have to win by 2. The game was back and forth throughout with some of the best plays that we have seen all season. The teams both played hard, but in the end the other team prevailed with a 27 - 25 win.
Game 3 was the money game. The best player at our site, hands down, is on the team we played here. He is the son of the coach that bet with Hayley. It was a good, friendly rivalry. It really came down to this: they had one excellent player and a bunch of average players. We had a team of above average players that work well as a team and are willing to hustle.
Game 3 was a win, and Hayley proudly accepted her $1.
So our team ended up with a season of 20 games broken down as 16 wins, 3 ties, and 1 loss. Hayley ended the season with no losses and an extra $1!
