Game 1 - The night got off to a rocky start for the Colonels, as the Camels of Campbell County jumped out to an early 10-1 lead. Eventually Dixie started to fight its way back, and got within four at 11-16 before Campbell went on another 5-0 run. That would prove to be as close as Dixie would come, grabbing a few points late in the match to finish 18-25. The set was never truly in doubt from start to finish, and gave the appearance of a very long day ahead for Dixie fans.

 

Game 2 - Thankfully our volleyball players have very short memories, as this one was contested early and often, with multiple lead changes. Dixie led for most of those lead changes, and this time it was the Camels who couldn't quite finish.

 

Game 3 & 4 - It's amazing what a little confidence from a win can do to a teams game play. In sets 3 & 4 the Colonels passing in serve receive and on defense led to more in system hits by Long & Metzger, and more free balls and out of system attacks by the Camels. Set three was a feel good moment for the home team, in a season with very few feel good moments, as the Colonels cruised to a 25-11 victory. Yet being Colonels the fans and the kids new better than to celebrate just yet. Set four started out with Dixie rolling to a 15-5 start, and for most of folks in Red a sigh of relief, assuming we would finish this out like the last set.... We all know what happens when you assume, right? To my dismay the Campbell Co.'s girls weren't done. Off the break the Camels went on a tear and fought to bring it within 2 at 16-14, and 17-15. But somewhere in the middle of those two point margins the momentum shifted, and Dixie's aggressive serving and powerful hitting switched gears.. With the pressure Dixie's offense applied, the Camels offense couldn't seem to gain traction behind middles Hannah Graf and Grace Isaacs. Long rally's continually fell in Dixie's favor and over the next few minutes the gap widened. In the end Dixie posted a 25-17 victory to end the contest.

 

Next up for the Colonels are the Braves of Grant County on Thursday night at home.

Campbell County plays Simon Kenton at home also on Thursday night. Game time for both matches is set for 7:30 PM.

Lol, it's hard to follow you. At one time I would have said that math is my strong suite, but apparently not.
