Stevenson volleyball

I am on jv volleyball team at Stevenson high school. Personally, i think our team is one of the bests in our state. There are 7 sophomores, and 6 freshman on the team. Other teams usually don't have this many freshman. Usually they have about 3, but it all depends. We have three lines. Our first line consists of mainly sophomore. The second line is basically all freshman, and the third is a mix of sophomores and freshman. We dont always play the third line cause sometimes there aren't three matches; sometimes there are only two matches. The main problem with our team is that there are some that have injuries, and others that are sick, so this effects the way we play. But we have been able to stay strong and we continue to rise above other teams in our success. A few days ago we were at a tournament and one of our players couldn't play due to an injury. This meant that we had to change our lines a little bit. The tournament was at Ladywood high school, and there were about 12 teams there total. Some had so much skill that they could be on varctiy, and others did not have enough skill to make the freshman team. First there was pool play. This is where you play a few selected teams to see how you rank to see what bracket you fall in. After you find the placement of where you on the bracket, there are more games. We played a few more teams that were good competition for us, but of course, we domintated. Our coach noticed that the first line was doing better than the second line, but that was mainly because there are mostly sophomores on that line. For semi-finals we played northville, but only the first line played because our coach wanted us to win by a lot. The first line was too tired and could barely do good since they just got done playing a match, and now they have to do another one while the second line sits on the bench. The whole second line was very disappointed. The first line barely won the second match. This meant that we get to go to finals. We were playing Plymouth for the final game. They were a very strong team. Our coach wasnt smart, cause she played the first line again. This made the second line very upset and the first line couldnt do very much since they didnt have a break. They have been playing for 2 games straight and now they were gunna have to play a five games in a row. There were a few selected ones from the second line that were able to play in the finals. We lost the first match, won the second, and lost the third match by 3 points. We were so close. I think that if my coach would've played the first line less, then we could've won easily.It was a disappointment, but our spirits were high and we carried our trouphy out of the gym, which will soon be standing proud at Stevenson.
