An Unbeaten Team No More!
The Tigers traveled to face unbeaten Goodpasture Christian School on September 18th in what promised to be a challenging matchup. Goodpasture entered the night celebrating senior night with a perfect record, having not dropped a single set all season. The Tigers, fueled by momentum from a recent sweep, came in with one goal—take a set from the Cougars. The first two sets appeared to follow the script of Goodpasture’s previous matches, as the Tigers fell 15-25 and 20-25. But refusing to back down, the Tigers regrouped and came out with determination in set three. With a change in setters and offensive strategy, relentless defense, and a two unstoppable freshman outside hitters (Yori and Sarah), they controlled the pace from start to finish, securing a 25-21 victory to hand the Cougars their first lost set of the season! Riding that momentum, the Tigers carried their energy into the fourth set. Once again, their strong attacks from the outside, powerful serving and refusal to quit paid off as they edged out Goodpasture, 25-22, forcing a decisive fifth set and stunning the home crowd. In the final set, the Tigers fell behind early, 0-6, and though they battled hard to climb back, the Cougars closed out the match with a 15-8 victory over the Tigers. Even in defeat, the Tigers walked away with pride, proving that they can push the district’s top team to the limit and setting a new standard for what they are capable of moving forward. The Tigers will finish out the regular season next week with matches against Ezell Harding (September 24th) and The Webb School (September 25th).
