Placed 2nd in Pool Play!!!

Emma' s team placed 2nd in their pool during the tourney at Barber Park in Greensboro yesterday!!! The beat FC Firecrackers in 3 games (25-23,19-25,15-11) and the Cape Fear Typhoons in 2 games (25-10, 25-23) to get into second place. They were only beat by the Brick City Embers (25-15,25-16)which were the first place team. Unfortunately, they will not get to play the Embers again because the Embers are moving from the Silver level to the Gold level in play.

This is completely awesome do to that these girls have only been playing together since November! They lost in the semi-final to a team from the Durham area. The team had better servers, but that is all. The girls played their hearts out & work well together as a team.

The DCVA Wolverines are 9 middle school girls from 5 middle schools - Tyro, North, Central, Ledford and North Davie.

For being on a team that Emma is the only one who has ever played J.O., they did extremely well yesterday and only one girl on the team is 13 - the rest are 11 & 12 playing other 13 year olds. The played 3 sets. The first set they lost 2-0 (25-17, 25-15), the second set they lost (25-11, 25-9) and the third set the lost 2-1 (26-24, 25-17, 15-8). These girls have nothing to be ashamed about. They played as a team, had fun and learned more about the game. They even had the Brick City Embers cheering for them in their 3rd set!

The picture is of Emma getting ready to serve.
