Hello Spartan Fans,
Today was a great day of Volleyball at the Boys conference tournament held at Lakeview.
The Spartans, 7-1 during regular season play, advanced to the championship game by virtue of two prelim wins, including a tough clash with Eisenhower. During the regular season, the Spartans' only loss came at the hands of Westview Hills.............and that was the rematch for the championship, as Westview Hills also won their two prelim games.
After losing a tough first game (26-24), Lakeview bounced back with a resounding win (25-12), setting up a third contest to decide who would be S.E.D.E.A.A. champion. In junior high volleyball, the first two games of a match are played to 25 points, with the team ahead by a minimum of two points. If the match goes to a third game, it is played to 15 points, with the leader ahead by a minimum of two points to win.
In game three, the Wildcats and the Spartans exchanged points and leads from the get-go, with the game tied at 7, 9, 11, and 13. Westview Hills pushed through two points to claim the tournament championship, ending their season at 11-0. My personal congratulations go out to members of Westview Hills, many of whom played on their varsity basketball team that also won the Boys varsity conference tournament in mid-March!
During the championship match, I must say that the level of teamwork exhibited by Lakeview was INCREDIBLE!! As a "spectator" in the world of competitive volleyball, I had never seen a team communicate on the floor as well as the Spartans did today!!!!!! It was OUTSTANDING.........AND..............the GREEN and GOLD never backed down one inch!!!!! This, I might add, was against a team that was much taller and more physical!!!!!!!
I would like to personally congratulate Head Coach Miss Jennifer C., and the members of her club that included Kovas R., Jack M., Tyler Z., Michael M., Evan M., Ryan G., Patrick M., Austin J., Jason R., Tom W., Sean A., and Ryan F. ................GREAT SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a GREAT WEEK...............
Go Spartans...............Play Hard!!!!!!!!
Coach Dodd
