Volleyball Ends Conference With a BANG!

I remember watching the last conference games for volleyball in between my game and the men’s basketball game on the weekend of November ninth and tenth. I saw both games and they were both VERY intense. I can only imagine that the girls were extremely hyped, and probably a bit nervous since the crowd was bigger than I’ve ever seen it! To play in front of all those people must have been a thrill.

I showed up at the end of last game with my family (they were visiting for the weekend to watch my games) and the thing that stands out most is the play from Mikayla Morgan, a freshman from Henley High School. She was hitting so good and she seemed really on top of her game.

The next day, I saw every match. Let me tell you, I was EXTREMELY impressed with Nicole Andews! She had by far the best games I have ever seen her play! She was on top of everything! I don’t even care about her stats. She played outstanding! I had to tell her after the game how great she played. She seemed like a happy camper too. She was all smiles (which she usually is anyway) and she was glowing—although it may have been the exercise and sweat.

Saturday night’s game was a fun game to watch because all of the ‘seniors’ were honored and they all got to play. My favorite was Jackie Kosinski. She doesn’t normally get a lot of playing time, but man, she was working her butt off out there! She played great and she was talking loud and in her positions (as far as I could tell). She was on her toes, cheering and looking like she was having the time of her life. She was so pumped up that her energy was transferred to all the other OIT players, who seemed to be having a blast as well.

They played a great conference and had a good end to lead them into regionals.
