“We did a great job of coming out and being ready to play,” said coach Jaime Keiser. “We did a good job of serving and attacking the ball and getting Mt. Vernon/Plankinton out system. They have a big hitter but we didn’t give them a chance to use their hitter because they were chasing the ball all over.” Keiser said Winner played very consistent after MVP. “We gave our opponents a lot of unearned points and then the next minute we would play really good.”
Winner played Burke/South Central to get into the championship.
“They came out attacking the ball which kept us playing defense. We did a great job of playing defense and digging up their hard hits but it kept us out of system. “The second set we came out attacking and kept Burke/South Central on the defensive end. The third set went back and forth. I was proud of the girls and how they played together as a team and never game up. We same some great teams and had great competition. It was a fun day,” said the coach.
