Volleyball Gold Medal

After the picnic with Landon earlier that day we then had Breckens and Deans Final Bracket volleyball games.  Their team was sitting in 3rd, so we had to win our first game to make it to the championship game.  We played a team that we have beat 4 times and they've beat us 2 times.  We had some great games and the score was close on both of them. We pulled out the win 25-20, and then again 25-22.  We were feeling pretty good going into the championship game, but then we lost one of our best players to club soccer.  We had no subs, but hoped for the best.  Everyone was fighting hard and not letting any balls get past them.  They were talking and doing their best.  Our serve's were all going in and we  had a great but close first game.  We had to win by two so we went over 27-25.  We had to then beat them on the second set or take it to a third set.   Brecken was so excited he wanted a medal so bad.  He kept jumping around and yelling.  He had some great serves and got us a bunch of points but the other team was battling and kept come right back with another point. we pretty much stayed neck and neck this second game. They had a chance to win but their serve would go out, we would have a chance and our serce would go out, it went back and forth.  Finally Brecken got us an ace on his first serve to put us up by one so we just needed one more point again.  He served and it went over they hit it back to us and then we hit it back to them and got the point so we won that set and won Gold in tournament play.  It was so fun to watch Brecken play hard and work with his teammates.  Dean was a great coach and the boys all got along great with him.  It was a fun learning season.
