Sullivan was ready, but New Haven was FIERCE!

   Tuesday night, the Sullivan Eagles came to New Haven and battled against the New Haven Shamrocks. The Shamrock’s Freshman team won the first set, followed by the winning of  the second set. The JV team did not start out well; therefore, the team lost the first set but came back and took the second set away. After winning the second set, the Junior Varsity team then had to play a third set. The third set was a very close score, but the New Haven Shamrocks trailed by five points and lost the third set, losing the game. Coach Carey said, “The girls need to focus and remember why they are here. I thought we did some good things, but we need to have a good practice and prepare for Thursday’s game.”  
   Kim Hoffmann jumped on the opportunity to sit varsity. Kim is the Junior Varsity setter, with help from Mackenzie Bauer and Emma Engelbrecht. Erin Scheer, one of the Varsity setters, has had leg and back injuries. Mrs. Hoener brought Kim Hoffmann up to Varsity to step in if needed.
   The Varsity game went by fast! Mrs. Hoener said, “I thought the girls played really well. I was very happy with how we served tonight.” Emma Borcherding said, “Coach was nervous because Sullivan was a conference game, and they could be decent at times. Once we got them down, they couldn’t catch us.” The Shamrocks won both the first set and the second set against the Eagles, which awarded them a win in conference. Winning this conference game brings the Varsity's record to 4 wins and 0 losses.     -by Kathy Jasper
