Junior Varsity Volleyball Home Opener

ROUND ONE:

Both teams began the first game suffering from messed-up serves and miscommunication with the coach, until the score stood at 2-2 and Alisha Belcher scored on two serves to up the score to 5-2 RR. After that, both teams seemed to have forgotten about the former mishaps before they were plagued by them again, causing RR to quickly lose a multi-point lead and trail 8-10. After reigniting that fire, both teams continued to battle back and forth; the score was soon 17-17. With all the Lady Indians making never-say-die plays, Rural Retreat scored seven straight under the serves of Umberger, with a missed serve by the away team to give RR the first win.


ROUND TWO:

Not much happened in the second JV game, aside from the Indians playing the whole game the way they started out the first, plagued by miscommunication. The Mustangs, however, repeatedly found ways to make things happen. After a long game, RR somehow found their groove and fought to 15-22, searching for a comeback. Comeback denied: 19-25.


ROUND THREE:

With many, many lucky breaks already, Rural Retreat was tied 5-5 before the first timeout was called. Soon thereafter, RR found their niche and themselves at 10-7. One very controversial call later, RR led 13-11. Holding off in a nail-biter, RR got its first win of the season.
