Sharpe has been playing well and has been consistently shooting in the low 50s all year. That was the boost that we needed today.

Amanda will be a force for us. She's really come along. She started at the end of last year and this year has really got it down. She snaps 'em down.

This is a strong serving team and we have height. But not just height, there's talent there. We should be strong.

The girls played hard and dug up a lot of balls. There were some good saves and a lot of hustles.

Overall, scores were higher than I thought. I'm proud of both Haley and Kari. Now we finally have one who has advanced to state. Let's hope the weather will be a little better.

We started out a little flat. We were playing a bit conservative and having some girls serve underhanded.

They surprise you when they come back. They actually are different. Some have lost some baby fat, some are stronger, some are taller.

That looked like volleyball. It's exciting when everyone executes what you've coached them in practice.

We're still trying to figure out who will play back there. The rest of the kids on the sub list all could end up in that spot.
