JV Volleyball: Chilhowie @ Rural Retreat

Round 1:

The Indians started off hot for the first time this season, but failed to keep the momentum. Staying in striking distance thanks to mistakes by Chilhowie, the Indians fell behind 6-9. The Indians couldn't keep control of the volleyball. As RR struggled with the same problem throughout, it took no time at all for Chilhowie to take the 8-17 lead. Sophomore Ana Caudill went down with a knee injury; hopefully, it isn't serious. With the Warriors taking it to a 23-11 lead, RR looked to have put aside the struggles, kind of. Chilhowie took Round 1, 12-25.

Round 2:

The second round started off badly for the home team, but they got it together soon, 3-4 Chilhowie. Some good serves later, the score went to RR's favor, 8-4 Indians. It happened quickly, but the Warriors went up 8-10 in just minutes. Like tug-of-war, the round went back and forth, 12-17 Warriors. By the next timeout the score was 13-19, so the round seemed out of reach. How I love contact sports. Oh, volleyball isn't one? These girls didn't know that! 16-21, Chilhowie had only four more to score before taking the win. 20-24, yikes! Tight game, 23-24. Tied 24-24, the Indians had a chance. RR took round 2 in a thriller: 26-24.

Round 3:
RR got it together in Round 2, so the team looked better this time around to start. Score: 4-6.  Well, looking like usual, the Indians fall 4-13. In the end, Chilhowie took the game, 4-15.
