Samantha and her Holly Bronchos teammates played their
second match of the season at home against the Lapeer Lightning. It looked like
this might be an easy day for the Bronchos, as they won the first set fairly
easily. The tide turned in the second set, however, as they got the ball stuffed
on their side of the court with ease. The third set looked like Lapeer was going
to go home with the victory, as they built up a big lead. Thankfully one of
Sam's teammates got on a roll serving the ball, bringing the girls to within one
point before Lapeer finally managed to get a win. Their time serving was
short-lived, and Sam was up to serve next. She too got on a roll, serving up
several aces as well as some shots that the Lapeer girls weren't able to play
cleanly. It was a nail biter, but the Bronchos managed to win the final set in
come from behind upset fashion, giving them the match 2-1.
I do have to apologize for today's pictures. I spent too
much time watching the game as the intensity increased and wound up missing
everything but Sam's serves! I promise to do better next time!
