We started flat. We had a little letdown and some fatigue from Tuesday. Princeton dictated the match. Our passing was not as good as it was against Lincoln. We got down by five points in the fifth game and the kids still came back. We had a good crowd. The fans were really good.
Memorial is a good team that doesn't make a lot of mistakes. We have to learn to play aggressive defense against good teams.
Kaylin and Chelsea really helped control the match with their setting. They did an excellent job and Kara made some important serves.
I was very happy with the way the girls played. They also communicated well. Kaylin Montgomery may have had one of her better offensive matches of the season. Jenna Sievers played very well defensively.
We played well enough to win. The girls came out flat, but they didn't quit and made it through. It was a tough match. South Knox has improved since we scrimmaged against them.
We had a chance to win the first game. We just can't seem to put a team away. We just need to keep working hard.
After winning the first game, the kids seemed to relax and lose focus. They fought back and really played like a team on a mission. Several of the girls had season highs in kills and digs. It was a very exciting match.
It might have been the best match we've played all year. The girls stuck together as a team. They did a good job of blocking. They got their hands on a lot of balls.
Forest Park doesn't make a lot of mistakes and our kids were pretty tired. We had played matches three straight days and we couldn't get a lot of fire out of the kids. This was also the first full week of school. I think they are ready for a weekend break.
The kids kept their heads up after being down in the second game. Allison Fredrick had a big match for us. I thought she took the match over by really attacking the ball. It's a big win for us. I hope this will help get us going in the right direction again.
I just want the girls to be better at the end of the year than they are at the beginning, ... All I ask from them is to give 100 percent. If they can look at themselves at the end of the season and say they've done that, then we're winners.
I'm hoping I can work her into it, ... I think she has the ability to do the job.
The key for us this year will be defense, ... I think we'll be OK offensively. The defense will be our story. We're going to have to have good floor coverage. We're working on defense and passing every day.
