In our first match, the boys came out and played well given their only (3) days of practice together and won this match.  The first team saw limited action but played very well making only 2 errors the entire game!  We only missed 1 serve which was excellent.  Marc G. led the way with 11 good serves of which 8 were for aces!  Spenser H., Mike S. and Alex H. led the team in passing each with either 4 or 5 along with Mike P.'s  4 hits for aces.  A total team effort with 11 serves for ace and 7 hits for kill.

In the second game Mike K. and Peter J. both placed in 6 serves with 5 of them for ace while Wyatt W. and Spenser H. each had 4 serves in with 5 aces between them.  Peter J. led the team with 5 passes while Mike K., Mike P and Alex H. all contributed 2 or 3 passes each in support. Mike S. led the team in setting with 4 while Wyatt W. had a remarkable back-court hit for ace, a great feat for him.  Again, with 15 serves for ace and 3 kills we played well.

The third game serving was led by Jake C. with 9 good serves, 6 of those for ace while Peter J. followed up with another 6 good serves and 3 of those for ace and Anthony B. who had 5 good serves of which 2 were for ace.  This group of boys really spread the ball around in a true team effort with Anthony B. and Jake L. each with 4 passes whle Jake C. and Austin K. each had 3.  Anthony B., Wyatt W. and Jake L. all got hits in with each getting 1 kill.  A total team effort here.

Overall for our first outing the boys played great and with (3) added practices this week, I would expect that they will become more fluid and we can work on some of the issues that did come up.  A great effort by all of the boys!  The match statistics can be found by clicking here.
