All good things eventually come to an end. Amid tears and smiles, the junior high school Little Lady Lynx wrapped up their season against a tough opponent – the Seeley Lake Lady Blackhawks.
Backed up by an exceptionally skilled 'B' team, the 7th and 8th grade ladies on the 'A' team showed their stuff by pulling out a win in the first set, 25 – 22, against Seeley. Ahead for most of the set, the Lady Little Lynx saw the Black Hawks roar back and almost take the win away from them. Whew! A close call.
After a brief rest, the Lynx ran out to try to win the second set, but lacking focus, the local ladies never had the lead and ended up losing 17 – 25. In the final set, Jordyn Zarske had two aces with her hot over-hand jump serves, but it wasn't enough to claim the win, and the Lady Little Lynx lost the final 7 – 15.
The MOA referee for the match said to the fans behind her between the second and third sets, "Your team is exceptionally skilled, one of the best I have seen this year."
The games were exciting to watch with many long volleys which, unfortunately, often went awry for the Lady Lynx. But, with a big turn out of students for both A and B teams, next year looks promising for the Lynx.
