Challenge Cup Gold for 13U Girls’ Attack Black !
On Saturday the 10th of December, at the Challenge Cup in Stouffville, the girls arrived ready to play!
Opening against Attack Silver the team was faced with a talented opposition that never gave up on balls, kept their spirits up and worked hard at all aspects of the game. Attack Black was up to the challenge and showed its depth and strength as a team winning in straight sets by sizable margins. It was a good start for the all-round style game that this team is rapidly developing. Strong hitting was evident from Kiara, Kelly, and Carleigh right off the bat, and the team missed only one serve in the entire match.
Next up were the Scarborough Titans Tektonics, and Attack Black once again showed its domination, winning in straight sets. Solid play came from Jordan swinging hard, Cameron passing, Ashleigh F setting, and Bianca working to ensure balls didn’t hit the floor.
With first in the pool, it was now on to the playoff round!
First up was…none other than Durham Attack Red! They’re a motivated, disciplined, and very well-coached group of girls……..just like Attack Silver, and Attack Black!
Attack Black was just too strong, and played great volleyball; serving, passing, setting, and hitting. Carly, Ashley S and Taylor were all solid, and the team prevailed.
In the semi-finals a very solid Markham Stingers team was the opposition. All players needed to get focused and ensure they were at their best because the Stingers had played them very tough in an earlier tournament. The girls were outstanding…… Megan and Kaitlyn saved some of their best volleyball for this match, with all players contributing. Attack won the semi 25 – 19 and 25 – 20.
In the gold medal match our girls continued to be unstoppable, playing loose and confident, and winning in straight sets over Scarborough Titans 25-10 and 25-14. It was another tremendous day of volleyball and teambuilding with the girls going undefeated throughout.
Girls – Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition – in having put forth the best within you.
– Henry J. Kaiser
Next stop, Barrie and the 14U Championship division.
