I guess we belong in Division I

Very quick update before I go to bed: Pool play today consisted of two-set games against four of the five other teams in our division. We started with a split with Broadfording, which should have been a sweep except for the LGFS in game 1, turning a 23-19 advantage into a 25-24 loss. Our second game was against Crossorads of NC, and we swept and swept easily 25-12, 25-16, with a lot of sub play in the second game. Third was against Hearts for Jesus, a team that had defeated the team twice that defeated us in the finals of the PA tourney. We played our best game of the year and swept them, 25-16, 25-19. Faith was awesome in these games, and everyone else played great. To finish up, we played Cornerstone, another top team. We smoked them in the first game, 25-12, but lost the second 25-20.

Following the completion of pool play, the standings were as follows: Calumet, 6-2; Community Christian of OK (the one team we didn't play), 5-3; Hearts for Jesus of OH, 4-4; Cornerstone of FL, 4-4; Broadfording of MD, 4-4; and Crossroads of NC, 1-7. The three 4-4 teams are listed in the order they finished in the seeding. (The rules for teams with the same records were first, head-to-head; second total points given up.) The teams, except for Crossroads, are very evenly matched. Bracket results might be completely different than the seeding. What we do know is that we play tomorrow at 10:30 against the winner of Cornerstone and Broadfording.
