Another impressive day...Miami #3

Day two was another good day for the "small start-up club out of Nashville"...apparently they didn't know who they were messing with. First up was Mizuno M1 and while we started a bit slow we caught our rhythm and finally put away on a Reidy and Click block. 25-23

Game two saw us take a lead and then squander it at 13-13. After that we were in catch up mode as we could find a way to get over the hump, but never fear the coaching of Mullins and Tucker took this ship into overdrive and we pulled off the victory. 25-21

Match # 2...Impact Bryan (hmm...not that Impact)
Let's just say this was a match for the ages. Think of Ali vs. Frazier as both teams kept delivering knock out blows...the only problem was neither would fall. The final ended up being 24-26...26-24...17-15.

This reporter found himself watching the match from all angles, not to get a full view but instead the nerves were getting the best of him. At one point in the third game I found myself literally peering around a pillar because I could not take it any longer. The game was capped by the very aggressive offensive play of Emily Vangrinsven and the breakout match of the young but VERY talented Casey Mense on the defensive end. The match saw countless spectacular plays from the entire team.

Match #3...Springfield Juniors

This match was for first in the pool as both teams came into the match undefeated at 4-0. Springfield jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in game one, taking it 11-25. Game two saw our girls come out with a purpose and while it was a bit of back and forth they eventually prevailed taking it 25-23. So it was winner take all and unfortunately Springfield took it 15-8. It was a long day and the girls appeared to be a bit fatigued at the end.

All in all it was a GREAT start for Nashville One, going 4-1 in the opening pool. They will return to action tomorrow at 9am est against Alamo and then Northern Lights 16-2 at 10am.

These girls continue to impress the fans and college coaches. We are very proud of them and if you get a chance please wish them luck for tomorrow.

BTW...dinner was great last night but we could have used a CPA to figure out the bill.
