Best Squeak: Alyssa H.  The ball hit was hit, hard, over-her-head, deep line.  Clear winner, so don’t worry about it.  It was a very cute squeak, however.  🙂

Best Middle Hits: Aya.  What a potent force!  With practice, we’ll only get stronger.

Best Blocks: Aya and Isabel.  Your blocks are so completely different.  Aya’s blocks are full with fire and energy.  Isabel’s blocks are “as cool as the other side of the pillow.”

Most serves to start a set: Aya 10 serves!

Best opposite hits: Kaelin and Alyssa H.  Your combined attacks are so very strong and of sharp angle, most teams just aren’t equipped to handle it.

Best dig in Chaos: Aya.  The ball had hit the net and bounced off of someone or something and I *think* Aya somehow got it up and we got the ball over the net.

Best Physics Defying Rolling the Ball ON the Net: Sarah, Jenna, Juliana.  I still really don’t know how it was done.  I’ll have to ask my friends in Oxford.  The net really liked us today.  Maybe it had to do with a certain someone who attends school there?  <g>

Best Bump Set While Running Full Tilt: Nikki.  The pass was front left.  Nikki ran full speed and at 9 feet from the net, 10 feet from the sideline, popped a set up for our outside hitter.  This is one of the most difficult sets to execute.  Most of the time, that set goes way off of the court or in the net.

Best Hand Pass against their Best Server: Sarah. SixPak relied on #9 to win most of their matches.  In the finals, she launched one and Sarah took a step, put her hands up, said “No.” and made a perfect hand pass for Nikki.

Most running: Nikki.  Not so much as last week, but that’s because your teammates are so nice and gave you better passes.

Best Fist after an Attack: Jenna.  It just exemplifies the strength and determination that we see in you.

Best Watch Holder: Alyssa P.  Thanks for keeping everything on time!

Best Hit that didn’t count: Alyssa H.  During warmups you absolutely CRUSHED a ball.  We know it’s in you.  We will work to get it out of you consistently.

Best Chicken Nuggets: Aya!  First Ever Chicken Nuggets!  Woohoo!

Best Spirit and Will to Win: All of you.  We were down by 2 in the last set.  Then we tied it.  Then we were up by 2.  You could see them getting demoralized.

Best Hammer: Juliana.  It is such a luxury having you in the back row.  I wonder if WebKinz makes hammers…

Best Serves after Being Away from the Game: Kaelin.  Welcome back.  I promise that your serves will get more consistent and stronger with practice.

Best Set of Outside Hits: Sarah and Jenna.  Both of you came up big today.  Jumping, extending and finally hitting the ball with authority.
