Ending Break on a High Note

Usually I'm in an introspective or reflective mood, but today, I'll just be excited and ramble about the day.

So, Day 2 of Far Western Qualifiers @ San Mateo Event Center.

Summary: We won the tournament and got a bid to the Open Division of JO's for 16's. Yay!

Details:
Came out and beat Renegades in 2 short games.
Beat SCVC in the first game, coming out strong. Then, we got crushed in the second game, but we managed to keep it close, losing 23-25. 3rd game a close battle, but we lost by 2 or 3 points.
Then, bracket play began.
Struggle past B2B 16-2's. I think the 2's had the notion they could beat us. No way!
Then comes Diablo Valley. We win in 2. The 2nd one was a huge struggle. Keith was the hero, serving 6 in a row bringing us from 17-24 to 23-23. Then we win it, 26-24. Yay!
This means a bid to the Open Division for JO's and a trip to DISNEYLAND! Can't wait for that.

Now comes the finals for seeding and pride. SCVC 16 QS vs. Bay to Bay 16 Nike Black.
I got to play! (: I didn't do a great job, but I guess I was ok. I got a block and a kill. I seriously need to stay behind the setter. And we won in 3! (insert the explosive cheering and celebrations, hugs, high-fives, and everything) Props to the whole team (:

And on that note, winter break is over. I think these last 24 hours have been the most memorable part of the two weeks.

"Bay on 3! 1..2..3..BAY!!!
