| Switzer's Sidelines |
 Hello again and welcome to my little corner of this wonderful blog, Switzer’s Sidelines. The name of the game this week is Storm Volleyball.
We were on the road for the third time this season and traveled to our rival school Millar College of the Bible. Both men and women’s teams got started first thing in the tournament, and faired extremely well. The men’s team brought their “A” game out early and won an early set on Millar, but went on to lose the match in the third set 15-12. The ladies came out with an excellent effort but could not fair any better in the Millar tourney than any other tourney we have been too. Although every match they played they gave the other teams a good run, and didn’t make it easy to win.
The gentlemen came out on Saturday with lots of positive rest and won their first match of the day in three sets; 21-25, 25-17, 15-8. And with another win against a very tough Bethany squad we had the chance of competing in the playoffs of the tournament. We came out strong in the first set, but dropped the lead late and made a few minor mistakes that lead to a 25-19 loss. In the second set it was much of the same, fairly dominated by our squad, and we lead right up until the final point and then dropped the ball and lost the second set 25-23. We were pumped though, because we have never brought a game so close with such a talented team.
The weekend was quite a success, we reached our goal of doing better than the tournament before, and we look to the future to do better than these past three tournaments. Next weekend is the weekend to do it for the men, as it is the provincial finals, and wills separate the good from the bad. The ladies team would need a miracle to make a good run at the playoffs, but we believe! And the men have the skill and heart to make a run, there are just a few things blocking our way. In order to obtain our goal of improving on every tournament, that would mean that we need to win at least three games this weekend.
“It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.”
We look to next weekend as the end of a great season, stay tuned to get those final results, and maybe even throw a little prayer in the air for the home team! This is it for me this week, so keep your stick on the ice, and your head held high.
