Battle against Italy

Written by Pauline Rubio Thursday, 23 September 2010 07:15

Tuesday night Keene had an exciting volleyball game. The Keene Lady Chargers went into their last period, which is athletics, and started practicing for Italy. They practice everything that involves volleyball, passing, blocking, hitting, and setting. They were getting better, but the coaches were still a worried.

JV team was ready and even though they didn’t have a great practice and the coach was worrying, they were ready to play their hearts out. It appeared they knew they had it and played hard. They were ahead by 10, but then Italy was coming back strong. The crowd knew their energy level was going way, way down. So the Blue Crew and Varsity team got up and they were getting the JV team pumped. They were cheering and yelling, “You got this ladies!” In the end the JV won 25-20

Varsity was ready too. The freshman players were getting better and better every practice. The JV girls were cheering with the Blue Crew. The Varsity loved it. They knew they could do it, if JV could. They were blocking, passing, and hitting constantly, but was it enough? They were tied, Keene won 2 games and so did Italy. The last game was to 15. JV screamed at the top of their lungs saying, “Come on! You got this!” Sadly the varsity lost 11-15.

Are the Lady Chargers ready for their biggest competitor on Friday? Their next game is against Grandview at their place. Grandview was in regionals last year. This year, varsity’s goal is to go to regionals. If you don’t have anything better to do on Friday night come to Grandview and support our Lady Chargers.
