ASICS Junior National Volleyball Championship 2010 Part 2

 JNVC 2nd PlaceI washed away my disappointment form this mornings race and headed down to Navy Pier for the final day of the tournament. After yesterdays stellar performance, Jenna’s team ended up in the gold pool in the top 5 teams of her age group, so even if they loose the first match and must go home, the worst they can do is 5th for the tournament. Not too bad.

The first match was against Squadron a team from DeKalb, IL. Our girls played very well and took the first match in 3 games. The second match was against Ultimate a team from Frankfort, IL which we won in two straight games.

The final game of the night for the championship was against Rolling Thunder from Lake Zurich, IL. The girls hung in there but ended up losing the match in two close games. Overall they took 2nd in their age group and brought home some nice hardware for their efforts.

The team has two weeks of practice and no games to get ready for Volleyfest in Phoenix, which will be their last tournament of the season. Congratulations girls and good luck in Phoenix.
