Tough end to season

Unfortunately, we ended our season yesterday with two tough loses.  We started out against NCTC and once again, just like in the regular season, we lost to them in 5.

After a short break, we had to play Vernon in an elimination game.  For some reason, our conference play-offs is double elimination.  Vernon had lost to Temple earlier in the day.  We started out great and won games 1 and 3, but still not playing up to our potential.  Once again, we went to 5 and Vernon passed absolute nails and beat us for the first time since I've been at Hill College.  A very tough way to end our season.

Some highlights of the weekend:
- Sapphire Reid had 41 kills combined in both matches
- Taylor Jones hit .400 against NCTC with 8 kills and no errors.
- Haley Goldwater averaged over 9 assistes per game

So it's the last time I get to coach Lauren Ray and Sapphire Reid, whom I first coached when they were 16.  They will go to great 4 year schools (to be announced soon) and they will be an amazing asset to whichever coach gets them next.  In the mean time, we have end of season interviews and I get to hit the recruiting trail in full force to watch some high school games.  I'll try and post some pictures soon and maybe a highlight reel.  Until next time.
