There are just some days that it is best that you stay home and hide. Monday was possibly the worse practice of the year for the Lady Gryphons. Today at game time there are three players missing for various reasons.
Hunt came to the gym Tuesday being the only conference member to take the Lady Gryphons to five sets. Hunt quickly won the first two games by 25-18 scores. Game three didn't start much better and the Ladys found themselves staring their first conference defeat of the season in the face.
The first two sets Hunt was better than the Lady Gryphons at the net but starting in game three the Lady Gryphons pushed the Warriors away from the net where the match evened up and the tide turn towards the blue and Gold.
When there was net play Timesha Walker, Brittany Battle and KaShunn Seabreeze began to win the net. Kendria Worley the Lady Gryphon Libearo controlled the back line. Heather Hunter, Michelle Parker, Nakia Hudley. Lauren Campbell,Kasey Cooke and Sydney Browder all had their big moments help the Lady Gryphons pull even at two sets a piece.
The tie breaker there was never any doubt as the team that had the momentum the Lady Gryphons won the tie breaker 15-10 to remain unbeaten in Big East play at 7-0.
The Lady Gryphons had every reason to lose today. Three top players missing and down 0-2 after two sets. Some times those players that don't play as much have to step up in order for the team to get better as the season wears on. Those players stepped forward tonight bringing the Lady Gryphons all the way back.
The beauty of sports is when you get you chance you must take advantage of the situation. Tonight may very well be the making of the 2009 Volleyball team. I don't know whether they have enough size to make a run deep into the playoffs or not, but tonight the Lady Gryphon Volley ball team found other ways other than height to pull victory from defeat.
Tab Wilcox can be proud of their effort.
Monday night the soccer team won their tenth game beating Fike by a 4-1 score. They are now 10-1-2 on this season.
