Volleyball Update






I've been a slacker about getting these updates posted, so I'm going to make it a short one. The Eagles have played a lot of volleyball since my last post. Three weeks ago they played at Fossil Ridge High School against the Saber Cats, and at home against the Sterling Tigers. Now do you get my whole "cat fight" thing? The varsity team lost to Fossil Ridge in 5 games. JV won in 3 games. Varsity lost to Sterling in 3 games. JV lost in 2 games. Saturday that same week Jeff's JV team had an all day tournament at Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch. There were eight JV teams from all over the state, and one from Wyoming that were there. Jeff's team played the best they have played all season and took 3rd place in the tournament, losing only to the eventual champions, Denver East, in 3 games. Two weeks ago Broomfield played against Silver Creek, Varsity won their match in 3 and JV won in 2. That same week they played a new school to their league , Roosevelt, both teams lost in 3. Last Tuesday Broomfield played the Thompson Valley eagles at home. Varsity lost in 4. JV won their match in two. On Thursday they played the Mountain View mountain lions at M.V.H.S. Jeff's team played well and won in 3. However varsity had their ups and downs and lost in 3. On Saturday Broomfield hosted their "Third Annual Broomfield Volleyball Invitational". Eight teams participated in the all day tournament. Broomfield started off really well winning their first two matches against Greeley Cental, and Sand Creek. They lost their third match in pool play against Boulder. They placed number one in their pool, which took them into the playoffs. They played Berthoud for the championship match. Berthoud really only has one outstanding player but the Eagles just couldn't seem to step up their game and ended up loosing in 2 (they only play 3 games for tournaments). WHEW! See lots of volleyball. That's all for now, I'll have more updates coming for this next weeks games.
