12s Bring Home the Gold!
All 3 of our 12s' teams had a great weeekend at the Ohio Valley Region Inc. Kaepa®-USA 2009 Girls' Volleyball Championships. The 12 Twisters swept the field, going undefeated (6-0) in pool play and the playoffs to win Gold in the Plutonium Division. The girls from New Lebanon went 1-2 in pool play, but came back to win Gold in the Titanium division. The 12 Lizards went 2-1 in pool play to take second in their pool. They won their first match of the playoffs, but fell in the semifinals, taking the Bronze medals in Mercury.
The girls' hard work and determination paid off. All three teams played a difficult local tournament schedule. They faced many of the top teams in the Ohio Valley Region all season. All 3 teams were seeded much lower than they finished at the championships.
Great job!

18 Hawks Reach 5th at the Hoosier Mideast Qualifier (3/6-8/09)
The 18 Hawks came into the 2009 Hoosier Mideast Qualifier as the #44 seed in the event. They were coming off two of the strongest events in the Midwest, fairing well at the OVR Winterfest, and then taking some lumps at the Presidents' Cup, playing without the services of some key athletes. Overall, the team did an outstanding job. We finished 5th in the tournament, and had the best finish of any team from the Ohio Valley Region in the 18 Club division. Our only losses were to teams that finished 4th (Hoosierland) and 2nd (Pinellas Heat) in the tournament. We were two victories away from a bid to the USA Volleyball Junior Nationals in Miami, FL. Great job, girls! [tournament report]
