No state tournament

Calumet/Calvary fell to the Faith Christian Eagles for the second time in the week on Saturday, losing 20-25, 11-25, and 19-25 in the semifinals of the ICSTS Regional (really, state - see earlier post, "Venting") Saturday morning at Heritage Christian High in Dyer.

The game followed the pattern of the game Tuesday. The Patriots fought well in the first game but couldn't quite climb the hill; the second game the girls played as if they didn't think they could win; and they regrouped and played better in the third game. The result in each game was the same, however, with Faith on top each time.

Heritage crushed Duneland Lutheran in the second semifinal as expected. The state championship game, er, excuse me, the regional championship game followed between Faith and Heritage. Faith rolled over Heritage in three straight, 25-17, 25-12?, 25-15.

Faith will go to Horizon Christian in Indianapolis to represent the northwest region in the ICSTS state tournament next Saturday. Barring an enormous upset, Faith will be crowned state champ at the end of those festivities.

Our next games are against LaLumiere and Quentin Road next Tuesday. I believe the first game is the JVa team against Quentin Road's JV team (which I believe is the only team the JVa team has lost to all year) at 3:30. Then the national tournament in Pennsylvania the following week. Then the season is over. (Shedding a tear.)
