Despite starting out hot, Rural Retreat soon lost a four-point lead. Down 8-11 just minutes later, the home players were looking to make some kind of play. Halfway through the first round, the Indians were losing to Eastern Montgomery by a score of 12-16. RR, still looking mistake-prone, got a break with a couple of bad serves by the opposing team, yet gained little ground. The score was then 17-22. Could this be a possible comeback in the making? No way! RR suffered a failed serve by #10, and East Mont took Round 1: 25-22.
ROUND TWO:
Parks had the spike to start the second round, giving RR the early lead at 1-0. The Mustangs then got jealous and scored three straight, totally ignoring the hot-and-cold defense of the Lady Indians. Nothing went right for the home side, except the exceptional spike by not only Parks, but also a few of her teammates. Serving has been a killer for this Rural Retreat team, that now faces a deficit of five, losing 8-13. Halfway through the second round, the score was 9-14 East Mont. Is this another possible comeback for our Indians, who are now only down by four points? #jk #nothappenin’ #13-20 #coolwescored
Eastern Montgomery ended Round 2, winning by a score of only 17-25.
ROUND THREE:
Again, the Indians started off hot only to lose that small spark quickly. Tied 4-4, Rural Retreat failed to set the ball. It was a tough night for #10; first, she failed on an extremely important serve with a chance to hold off the Mustangs from winning the first round, and continued to make mistakes, both serving and setting the ball, leading to RR losing 6-9. Another kick to the already-down Indians was a call for the ball, or actually lack thereof, piling onto the Eastern Montgomery Mustangs’ point total that was then at a whopping 14. East Mont won the first three rounds in a best-of-five game. Final Score: 16-25 East Mont.
