Instead, I'll get right to the point. Jessica's 7th and 8th grade girls volleyball team played in the BIGGEST Volleyball tournament in the state... No, the country! The biggest tournament in all the land. They competed against all forms of competition, in three different "pool" games.
Pool game: A game that cannot result in your team's elimination from the tournament, but instead is used to "seed" all the teams when the tournament begins. Win 'em all and your seeded #1... Lose 'em all and your seeded LAST.
The Summit Christian Academy 7th and 8th grade girls volleyball team won two of their three pool games and were seeded THIRD overall. Summit won the first tournament match two games to none (each match is best of three). They then played Hill Country (the #2 seed)... and emerged victorious, again winning the first two games in the match.
Summit then moved on to the Championship game where they locked horns with the #1 seeded team, the feared and dreaded girls of Round Rock Chapel. Most of Round Rock's Junior High girls are taller than Goliath. They are fiercer than Ray Lewis and even more cunning than a unicorn. You heard me.
I won't draw it out any longer. Jessica and the Summit Christian Academy Junior High girls (but mostly Jessica) Volleyball team TOTALLY wiped the floor with at least two of the Round Rock girls... winning the first match, losing the second match, but then winning the third and deciding match 17-15. The game should only have been played to 15, but in serious volleyball, you have to win by at least two points... which means the deciding, Championship game went into volleyball's equivalent of SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME. Thankfully, Jessica was not killed, and no animals were harmed in the dramatic ending.
