On Thursday we played at Barron. Going into the match we knew we were going to have to play hard, Barron has had a good team for many years, and this year was no different. We knew we each had skills that would help us in the match. We got a little behind in game one, as far as down 13-23, but our team battled back. Although we played hard, we ended up losing 17-25 to Barron. Our passes were a little off in game one and we knew we would need to take better care of the ball in game two. We came out fired up in game two. We knew we had played a good game one, but also knew we could play a better game two. We lead 11-5 when Barron did some fighting back. We continued to hustle and work hard for every play. The girls really showed their confidence in each other. We battled all the way to the end but ended up losing game two, 23-25. Game three was tiring and hard, but still the girls played as a team and hustled after every ball. I love the way the girls have started to play together. We came up short losing game three 16-25. I am extremely proud of how well my girls are playing this season and at how hard they are working each week. We are 6-4 overall and 3-2 in the conference. We have big goals for the rest of the season and I am excited to watch the girls meet these goals. We play Bloomer at home Thursday for our pink night. We hope to see a big crowd out. Our Cteam also travels to Bloomer on Tuesday for a quad and our JV travels to Cumberland for a quad.
Also, our 7th and 8th grade teams have been busy. This year there are 16, 7th grade girls out and 21, 8th grade girls. We're seeing a lot of growth in these girls. On Thursday was their pink night. $52 was raised in admissions donations and will be donated to the Mayo cancer research program.
