Best Imitation of a Teenage Block Party: Camilla, Jules, Jordyn, Kristina, Jules, Julia. Jordyn stuffs a back row attack, Kristina touch blocks an overpass, Jordyn & Camilla & Julia & Kristina block attacks. I think Jules snuck one in there too…
Best Non Kill Kill: Elsie. Rolled a shot down the line for a kill. No one was there! Very smart.
Best Imitation of a Protractor: Kristina. Sharpest angle. The ball was tight and beyond the sideline. You hit that ball with such angle that it barely missed the near antenna, barely got over the net and in! Text book.
Best Tool: Jolie. Way to tool the blocker to get a point!
Best Combination: Julia and Jules: Ball & setter went left. Middle went right. Way to run it.
Best Defensive & Offensive run: Gabbi. There was a run of 5-8 points where you passed perfectly, transitioned and hit, then passed perfectly again, then chose your hits exceptionally well.
Best Serving run: Victoria. 14 points in a row? Then 9 points in a row? Welcome back! (guess who will be serving first in our next tournament?)
Best Short Digs: Dena and Victoria. You’ve perfected the art of popping the ball up in a full out dive.
Best Steal: Gabbi. Julia was going to push it over, but you out-reached her and put a hit on the ball!!! Way to show controlled aggression!
Best Order out of Chaos: Dena & Nicole. We had 4 players in the middle of the court scrambling for the first ball, it kicked out to Dena who put up a perfect forearm set to Nicole who terminated the point.
Best run of serves that will get lost in our losses: Nicole. I think your serving percentage was the highest… again.
Miracle on the Net: Camilla. We shank a pass. Our outside touches the ball and since you’re covering, you’re in perfect position to stick a hand out to help out. From about a foot off of the ground, you hit the ball up. It hits the top of the net… balances there for a heartbeat and falls down on their side! The stats will read Nicole assist. Camilla middle hit. Straight down, inside of 8 inches!
Best Set with a Smile: Victoria. The first ball was deep and was passed short to you in the middle of the court. With a smile, you set a super short ball right to Jules who hit it over!
Best Evilness: Jules. Pass was tight. You turned your back to the net and attempted a set, but the blocked it! Since you “declared yourself” to be setting the ball, by rule, she could not block it. Way to earn us an easy point!
Best Anti-Evilness: Gabbi. They tried to place the ball to our extreme short right, but you wouldn’t have ANY of it and made a good pass to Jules. THEN you transitioned and were ready to hit!
Best Out In: Dena. You hit a serve that they all called out, but it landed in.
Best Scaring the Net: Victoria. Your serve was so hard, that it hit the net and I swear that the net was scared and got out of the way, it wouldn’t get hit again.
Best Imitation of a Tack: Dena, Gabbi, Nicole, Victoria. The majority of your passes were tack sharp. It sets a great foundation to run our offense.
