At the end of the tournament, every girl on her team could serve the ball successfully, success-fully, over the net. 15 times in a row.

The winning team consisted of Audrey Aud-rey Baer, Natasha Beach, Dacia Clifton, Caitlin Duncan, Shaun Frazier, Karissa Henage, Stephanie Stepha-nie Mendoza and Jess Rogers. At the end of regular league play, the two teams were tied, each having lost only to the other. A play off game determined deter-mined the Oompas the 1 seed in the tournament with the Anderson team lining up in second place. Both teams won their first two tournament matches before coming com-ing up against each other in the semi-finals. The Oompas defeated Anderson in two straight games on Nov. 5 sending Anderson's "team to the consolation bracket to work their way back to the final match on Nov. 6. If Anderson's team were to win, another match would immediately follow to determine the winner of the double elimination tournament. "Even though we were in a great position knowing we only had to win one of the two matches, match-es, I knew the game could go either way," said coach Henage of the Oompas. "Our team had been working on bump, set, spike at practices and in some of the games, but our strength was in our consistent serves and bumps, so I told the girls to just get a nice clean bump back over the net. We talked about focus and being ready to cover their areas before the ball came back." Anderson's team worked their three hits until they were down 11-2 in the second game, then switched to just getting the ball ; back. They made quite the come back but couldn't quite pull it out, losing 15-8. It was a heartbreak heart-break loss for Anderson's team. At the beginning of the season, some of his team had been invited invit-ed to move up to the majors, but had chosen to stay back to win a first place trophy. Menage's team was not so optimistic at the beginning of the season. Most of the Oompas thought Anderson's team a "shoo in" for the title. Only 3 girls on the Oompas team could serve the ball over the net with marginal consistency and only 1 could come even close to setting the ball. The team worked hard on the basics until each girl could serve 15 balls in a row, bump 15 Hole-in-one Zachary Davis got a hole-in-one at the Hobble Creek Golf Course on hole 14 from 145 yards.

We lined the girls up in pairs facing each other across the net and had them do a set in slow motion then, speed it up. It was amazing. By the end of practice their sets were awesome." When asked why the team was successful, Karissa, team organizer, commented, "It's because we got a group of girls together to have fun. We didn't plan on winning the championship, champion-ship, but thought we might come in second or third. We have girls that are really motivated and work hard. But we have fun. We always play much better when we " make it fun." Jenni Lundskog was also on the roster, but unable to complete the season due to health prob- lems.
