2022 Volleyball Junior Nationals

What a Great Tourney!

Two weeks prior to the trip to Orlando, the team was 2-12.  

Then something happened (a 45-minute team talk prior to a practice?).  Something big.

In the Showcase in Anaheim a week before Nationals, we swept the first two days, won the first single elimination match on Sunday before exiting with a loss.  Where'd that come from?

Coming into Nationals, they ranked us 1st in our Pool and 5th overall out of 59 teams in 16 Club. (I was very skeptical)

We went 10-0 through the final day.  A tourney is a LOT more fun and emotional when you're kicking butt.

A Three Set, back and forth win against Ocean Bay (Tampa) brought us to 11-0.

Louisville Fury, who clearly forged a lot of Birth Certificates, had our number and ended our amazing run. 

We take Bronze!  A Great Tourney!

Apologies for the scattershotness of the photos.  I was caught up in watching rather than shooting.  I missed a bunch of moments and people.

You should be able to right-click to download photos.  I also didn't do much post-processing.  If there is a shot you like, I do have full-resolution .jpgs and RAW (to make better crops).  Let me know.
