Even shorter blog on pool play day at Quentin Road

It's late, I'm tired, so I'm not going to give you a lot.

We opened the day with only six players and no coach. One of the vehicles in the caravan made a wrong turn and went REALLY out of the way, so they were late. No matter - Coach Casey filled in admirably, and the girls did their job, with Ally playing Jessi Stas' position and putting down some kills. The girls beat Southside 25-17, 25-14.

Next up was East Moline. We hadn't faced them at least since before I was following the team. After making short work of them in the first set, 25-11, Coach began subbing liberally and the girls lost a little focus, but they won anyway, 25-18.

Coach Carr then left to go to a wedding. At 4 we took on Westchester, and traditionally a weak team. Again, there was a lot of substitutions. Still the girls won 25-11, 25-14.

With Kelsey coaching again, the Patriots played First Baptist of Danville for their last game of the day. The first game was a struggle, as FB played well and we played poorly. We did finally manage to capture the game, 25-21. The second game went more as expected with our girls making better play. The final was 25-12.

Tomorrow we take on the winner of two weak teams at 10:30 AM. Then the real fun will begin.

Congrats to Coach Car on your 400th career victory. That milestone was reached after Calvary won the second game, against East Moline.
