Go Lynden Girls Volleyball!! We came into this tournament with a 16-1 record and high expectations. First game on Friday was at 2 Pm. First on the list was Othell High School - their record 8-6. We played three pretty good games and won 25-12, 25-17 & 25-14. Next opponent was at 8 PM Friday with Pullman which was a good team with a 6'4" Sophomore, 6'1" Sophomore and just a good all around team. The first game was close with a 25-22 win, next game we lost 23-25, then we win 25-23 and then cruise in final game at 25-15.
This puts us into the quarter finals and we have a really good team ahead. They are the Tumwater Thunderbirds and come into the tournament with a 14-0 record. We start in and things didn't really look good. We just couldn't get into a rhythm and lost 18-25 and the next game started better but just couldn't put them away and lost 23-25 so our backs are now to the wall. We are now down 2-0 and have to really focus. We come out and did better winning 25-19. So the next game is a must win and we can't service from the get go and still make it close and lose 23-25. Our dream of a State Championship is now gone. The girls held their heads high and didn't give up. Will be now playing for 3rd place. So Saturday about 9 Pm we finally start our game against Black Hills Wolves. On paper they are also a pretty good team and only lost three games all season. We have three close games and win 25-21, 25-18 & 26-24. So we come home with a trophy and the girls are happy. This was a fun tournament held at the Toyota Center in Kennewick and was a really nice facility. This is the best finish for Lynden in three years and maybe the best ever. Wait until next year!! When our granddaughter Jessica Biesheuvel and her friends get the team going for a great 2009 season.
