4-4-4-4; four minutes on the court, four minutes off, then another four minutes on to get warmed up. This is the usual set-up before every volleyball game. Hitting lines, serves, and last but not least butterfly drill. “On your toes, be ready, lets go!” the team says to each other repeatedly.
Friday, September 28 the CCS girls’ varsity volleyball team entered yet another conference game undefeated. Their opponents were to Algoma Knights. The Eagles knew they were capable of winning but, they would need to play a clean game of volleyball.
The first set the Eagles blew the Knights away with a score of 25-13. The girls hit well, anticipated hits from tips, and communicated as a team. This trend also carried on to the second set ending it with a score of 25-14. Although the Eagles had more talent it didn’t quit show in the third match.
"A lot of our success came from our serving," Calvary Christian coach Heather Denger said. "The third set was close because we started playing sloppy." In the end the game resulted in another win for the blue ending with a final score of 25-23, which was way too close for comfort. Lethargy may have gotten the best of us in the third game but, we always mange to pull though.
Taylor Richards led the Eagles with six blocks, Natalie Kapanka aka “Tom” finished with 13 digs, and Brianna Zehr with 17 assist. 9-0 the Lady Eagles hope to continue the season with an undefeated record. This week the girls will be gearing up for a big tournament with some tough competition at Freedom Baptist High school
