VOLLEYBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

YEAR 8 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

On Wednesday the 9th of November Korumburra’s Yr 8 Girls Volleyball headed off to the State Championship. Having won both their division and region the girls were very excited and some what nervous about the prospect of playing the best schools across the state. Our first game was against Daylesford which we won two set to zero. An awesome start. Our second game against Eltham would see us go down in two very close sets. Importantly this was our best volleyball played to date and I was super proud of the way the girls played against such quality opposition. Our final pool game was against McKinnon. We went down in the first set quite easily and I asked the girls to rally as I knew this wasn’t our best. The second was very close but we ended up winning it 20-18. The third and final set was again very tight but the girls pulled on through and ended up beating McKinnon in three sets. What a performance, the girls were pumped!

With this it meant we made semi finals. Unfortunately we encountered a very strong school in The Grange and they beat us two sets to zero. Despite the disappointment this meant we finished equal third in the state. What an awesome achievement for these hard working, super talented girls!!!

Team members included Georgia Kyle, Bella-Cruize Appleman, Molly Boulter, Jess Churchill, Natalie Churchill, and Bella McKean
