Well, it was another action packed night of volleyball at Forest Meadow! The eighth grade Lady Chargers exploded onto the scene with some amazing moves.
The B-Team hit the ground running against Apollo Jr. High. Both the first and second string teams stood toe-to-toe with their opponents, looked them right in the eye and never blinked. The first game ended with a score of Lady Chargers 21 Apollo 25.
Their second game was a true battle. The Chargers played hard, made some out of this world saves and spent the first half of the game trading point for point with Apollo. With the score tied 11 all, Apollo sent in a ringer who blasted 7 points and nearly broke the drive of the Lady Chargers. However, after a brilliant save and some truly spectacular offensive moves the score was tied, 22 to 22.
Somehow, Apollo managed to squeak the next three points by for a narrow victory. This was a heartbreaking defeat for everyone.
The A-Team first string started off with a net serve that made the score Apollo 1 Lady Chargers 0. The Chargers rallied and quickly tied the game at 1 to 1. The next ten serves were a win one, lose one kind of a trade off. That is until Jamie Crawford took the serve and drove home five straight points which made the score Lady Chargers 11 Apollo 6.
Apollo made one last valiant stand and tied the score at 11 all. After a time out, the Chargers came out running and never looked back. They quickly made the score Lady Chargers 23, Apollo 14. Apollo tried to rally, but it was no use. The A-Team won the first game 25 to 19.
The second string burst onto the scene with a surge of momentum and scored four quick points. Apollo answered back, point for point and from then on the game became a true nail-biter.
Just when it seemed the game would last forever, and with the score tied at 23 to 23, the Lady Chargers put the moves in high gear and scored the last two points. It all happened so fast it was hard to know what was going on. What I do know is the final score…Lady Chargers 25, Apollo 23.
