CA vs. North Raleigh Christian Academy 0 - 2

The JV Lady Chargers lost against NRCA 21-25 and 5-25 on Friday.  The Lady Chargers were exhausted from their stay at home from school.  They came out strong almost winning the first game but could not get one player’s serves up to battle in the second game. Thoughts of how great it was to be out of school all day overwhelmed their thoughts leading them to wander off into the relaxation phase. Hopefully they will leave those great thoughts behind and come out and play on Monday.  Come out and support their efforts against Riverside, Go….. Lady Chargers.

CA @ Wesleyan Christian Academy 0 - 2

Last night the JV Lady Chargers lost their game 20-25, and 19-25 against Wesleyan.  The team played a much better game last night showing up from their lost of confidence the game before. Even though the team lost they played hard, gave it their all on the court, and were more confident.  They were able to learn some lessons and be able to apply what they have been working hard in practice during the games.  The team showed a much brighter approach to playing and wanting to be as one; a team.

CA vs. Durham Academy    2 - 0

The JV Lady Chargers came out of the gate with attitude and determination and did not look back. The team was focused winning the first game 25-19 with ease. It was easy only because of constant communication, executed serves, and intestinal fortitude. They have found what it means to play with heart and motivation.  Then the team kept focused until the last point of the second game winning 25-23.  The team was led by everyone in this game yet, some key players were Kenzie Hopkins, Sarah Roberts, Meg Bryson, and Claire Bridges.  Kenzie Hopkins led the team by staying focused on 9 for 9 serves, Sarah Roberts play on the net with 6 for 10 kills led the team in hitting, Meg Bryson’s setting to Sarah and our other hitters led the team in setting, and Claire Bridges helped the team by coming in and being productive digging 4 for 4 balls.  The Lady Chargers have stepped their game up and  proving to themselves they are contenders.  We look forward to next weeks three games where we can continue to strive for excellence.

CA @ North Raleigh Christian Academy  0 - 3

Last night the JV Lady Chargers fell to the Knights 25-16, 25-23, and 25-22.  The first game the team decided to play it safe bumping the ball over the net instead of attacking the ball hard.  This type of play lead to the Knights picking up the ball and attacking our free balls on our team like rapid fire. Yet, they battled back in the second game with the fierce play of Amy Holt and Kenzie Hopkins on the back row. Then in the third game we just ran out of steam and intestinal fortitude loosing against a team who was not better than ours. Yet, their team wanted it more fighting to win up until the last point. Someday, I hope the team will show up and play motivated and determined to be the players they work hard at being. Lets see what the team does in tomorrow’s game against Durham Academy.

CA hosts Saint Mary's School  2 - 1

The JV Lady Chargers are on a roll with another win against St. Mary’s. The team started out with a lot of energy and attitude winning the first game 25-13. Then in the second game the Lady Chargers became lax and a little big headed from their easy win over St. Mary’s team, losing 23-25. Yet, fait would have them deflate their big heads and capitalize on hard work,  winning the third game 15-11.  The team was lead by Cailey Follet’s unbelievable serving and hustle play in today’s game winning her the player of the game title. The Lady Chargers take on their next competition on next Tuesday, so come out and support them.

CA hosts Wilson Academy   0 - 2

The JV Volleyball team fell to Wilson Academy 10-25 and 18-25. The lack of experience is still fresh and new at the beginning of the season. In the second game there were points of rally but we could never quite get over the hump to capitalize on our rallies. The Lady Chargers are taking note and will be working hard to fix the things that aren’t productive.

CA @ High Point Christian Academy  0 - 2

The JV Lady Chargers fell to High Point Christian Academy 22-25 and 18-25. The Lady Chargers were out maneuvered by an analytical and more experienced team. There first opponent, the heat on the bus ride to the game, smoldered the girls leaving them exhausted even before they stepped on the court. Sarah Roberts though, was a beast at the net pushing past her exhaustion, in the second game bringing her team from an 8 to 1 deficit. The team learned well deserved lessons this game, only to help them prepare for future opponents. The JV Lady Chargers take on another worthy master mind at home on Thursday. So, come out and support their efforts in becoming an awesome and analytical team.
