Alright, so we have Sage Hill tomorrow in the gym for volleyball. They are going to be a tough match up. The team had a good practice with a lot of talk and really it needs to be kept up for tomorrow.
Allen had us work on picking on the tiny little setter Sage Hill has. He does not block and they run a five-one(offense with only one setter all the way around, our team runs a six-two with two setters, the one in the back row setting). If we can pick on him the entire game, we should have a chance to win.
So how will we do this exactly? Well, we can hit it at him. Or we can hit it around him. Or we can power tip the ball into his face. Or we can hit completely over him and get a free swing.
But I do not think just because Sage Hill has one short guy they are any less dangerous. They have two very good outside hitters (including the illustrious and dangerous number nine) and have managed to beat some good teams. Also, the float serve has been a problem in the past but I think we may be able to pass it better this year. Generally, most people on our team are also jump floating so it gives a new serving weapon and also a chance to be ready should it be used against us.
No matter what though, we will definitely have to playing up to our best. We have some good players and now we just need to put it all together.
Who knows, maybe we can pull off an upset. No one outside of our school is expecting us to win anyway so there is absolutely no pressure. Honestly, I do not think we have anything to lose. It would be a big lift to everyone on the team as well if we pulled it off.
Lets go out and show Sage just whose house they are in. Everyone else try and come too! Its always nice to have spectators!
