Cedar Falls vs Kennedy (381)

This is the match we've all waited the whole season for. All of our hard work and dedication leading up to that moment. On Tuesday, November 10th, at 10 AM, we have our state quarter final match. This is our first game of state and the first state game that Kennedy Volleyball has played in 4 years. This game is very important and we will be doing a lot of preparation leading up to the match. This weekend, we had a scrimmage against West Liberty at our gym, then a team dinner in the Kennedy cafeteria. Following that, we had some team bonding time. Coach Goodall had us split up into 4 teams to play team building games. On Monday, we will have practice then our end of the year banquet and Tuesday is our match! No one from the volleyball team will be in classes that day, but we will be at Kennedy. We will have a run through practice starting at 9 AM, followed by a short review of Cedar Falls. Since we've already played Cedar Falls, there are some things we already know about them. They beat us in a tournament earlier in the season, but we then beat them in our conference game. They are a young team, and we are not. This is good for us because we will be more likely to handle the pressure of being in the crowded US Cellular Center in the State Tournament. We also know about their offense and defense they run, so we can try to prepare for it. If there are any changes though, we can adjust accordingly. After the review, we have a send off in the foyer at about 10:48 AM. This will be similar to the state swimming send off we had on Friday. Right after the send off, we will be on our way to the US Cellular Center! We are going to arrive early to watch the 12 o'clock match to get use to the atmosphere and feel of the place we will be playing in. Then, before we know it, it will be time to warm up for our match! I think we can beat Cedar Falls, but they are a very good team and we cannot take them for granted!
