Away, away, away! All we seem to have are away games. Last Wednesday though, we finally had our first home game, and what a thriller it was! From the moment we walked into the gym to the time we left we knew how important it was to get a win at home. Ashford was a tough competitor, and gave a fight early on to pull ahead 2-0 in the match. The game for the Lady Statesmen, however, was not over. Instead of buckling under the pressure, we rose to the challenge and, one point at a time, we were able to win game three to take us to extra games. As soon as we set foot on the floor in game four, the intensity was high and ready to be unleashed. All guns were firing at one and it seemed like we were unstoppable. We had finally turned it around, and ended up beating the Saints 25-7 in game four, which gave us the confidence we needed to secure the match in game five.
As a senior and a captain, I am extremely proud of how we fought to stay alive and end up winning the match. We really showed the heart that we have for the game and our relentlessness to defend our home court. All of the Lady Statesmen played hard and pushed themselves to their full potential. Many players stepped up and made smart plays that helped us win the game.
As a result of this conference game, we are now 3-0 in the conference, and all of us are looking forward to each conference game as we strive to climb to the top. We would also like to send out a special thanks to all of our fans who came out to support us. The loud gym and packed bleachers really get us pumped up and excited for the game. You can catch us at our next two games at home which are Tuesday, September 22 (JV @ 5:30 and varsity @ 7:30), and also Wednesday, October 6 (varsity only @7:00).
