Bring It

8 a.m. Psyched. Ten teams. Long day. Let’s do this.

10:30. 2 and 0. Move your feet. Square up. Setter gets the second ball. Smash it. Call the ball. Talk.

Noon. 4 and 0. Stay with it. Play through the whistle. Don’t quit. Talk to each other. Hydrate.

1:30. 5 and 1. Missed serves lose the game. Look alive. Fuel yourself. Power Bars. Eat them.

Fight. Dig deep. Side out. Every point counts. They win. 5 and 2.

Focus Husky’s. You gotta want it. Over the net. Pound it. Dropped ball. That’ll cost you. At practice. You’ll pay.

Second straight loss. They’re good. Undefeated. 8 and 0.

5 and 3. Good enough. In the playoffs. Refuel. No time for rest.

3:15. Game 1. Best of 3. Win. 25-16. Short bench. Getting tired.

Game 2. Bad start. Who gets the second ball? Setter gets the second ball. Play your position. Move your feet. Hustle.

Something's wrong. Why is she down? Gym is spinning. Disoriented. Did she refuel? Did she hydrate?

Get her out. Sub. Game going on. Get it together. Stay with it. Fight.

Game 3. Must win. Yes! In the Championship! Best of 3. Crowd goes wild.

Fight hard. 3 starters missing. Games are close. Lose them both. 2nd Place today.

6:00 p.m. Long day. Lotta ball. Go home. Refuel. Hydrate. Practice on Monday.
