The season is going by fast. All levels have 3 weeks remaining! With just 6 games remaining for all levels, please remember that all players should be staying for all matches and cheering on all teams. At home games we need all players to stay and help at the end of the night.
Last week we saw the Freshman and C team come up with great wins against D'Evelyn! Tiana Land-Rogers had a great game and led her team with her great serves and play at the net! Aliya Ellid and Jessica Doumasi had big blocks for the C team that were pivotal in keeping the Rebels in the game!
JV came up with a big win vs. Silver Creek. Great play by Azshane McCray as she continues to improve in the Middle! I hope you saw our JV on the Denver South Twitter last week after they won the Lincoln Tournament!
Varsity saw excellent play at the net by Senior Alexis Rowland. Sabrina Vargas-Bakas was able to assist Varsity this week in crucial ways. One of my favorite plays of the week was a perfect pass from Laurel Campell, a beautiful set by Sabrina and a crushing kill by Allison Hart! We expect to see great things from all teams this week as we start League Play! Please keep Claire Hart in your thoughts as she recovers from a concussion. We hope to see her back on the court soon!

Updates from 8/24
Last week, we saw the freshman team go into extra points with Littleton in their very first match. Great job to Malika Washington with her tough serves and the rest of the Freshman crew! The C Team learned that it's a bit different playing in front of fans! They pulled together for a tough second set. JV came out against Littleton and just dominated from beginning to end beating them in a quick two sets! Great serves and discipline on the court ladies!
Varsity was able to avenge their loss to Littleton from last year. We flipped the script on them winning sets 1, 3 and the all important fifth set! We saw newcomer to South High, Sabrina Vargas enter the game with a crushing kill off of two Littleton players! Davi Albury dominated at the net while the Hart sisters crushed the ball and set the team up for success.
All four teams put up a great fight against the big 5A school. Allee Burke led the C team to a close match with her killer jump serves. Senior Alexis Rowland had a great second set with a pivotal block and kill to propel the team to a win in that set. The Varsity team fought hard but eventually fell 23-25 in set four. Poudre was never able to stop Senior Allison Hart as she pounded the ball from nearly every spot on the court.
Please keep Lexy Stegeman and Madie Baker in your thoughts as they heal. Lexy is rehabbing her knee and unable to play. Madie Baker is anxiously waiting for the swelling in her ankle to go down so she can join us back on the court!
