This evening our 7/8 boys volleyball team played their semifinals match against league-leading St. Clements at All Saints. It was a must-win game, which would give the team one more win for the championship on Sunday.
I was a little surprised that there was hardly any competition from St. Clements. For placing first in the standings, I was expecting a tough battle. In the first set, we led by as much as 8 points, and the closest they ever came was within 2.
In the second set, it was pretty much the same. In both sets, we maintained a steady 5-point margin. We won in straight sets, 2-0. With this, we await who will emerge as our opponent for the championship, as St. Clements moves to the loser's bracket. They do have a chance to go back up and play on Sunday in the finals.
For now, we wait, as we savor this victory. We will find out whether or not waiting on the sides (as we will be doing) would be a good thing, versus having to play 2 straight games to make it to the finals, and 2 additional games to win the championship (as St. Clements would need to do).
We'll find out soon. Go Cougars !!!
