The games began with the sophomore sopho-more and junior varsity teams who both escaped with stunning victories. Then at 6:30 the varsity game began. The game started start-ed out slowly with the girls seemingly lethargic about the competition. Cory Neil-son Neil-son said this about the game, "We expected to win, but we did not realize that we would really have to fight." They ended the first game of the match with a disap pointing loss. But the crowd that was there cheered them on with great gusto. After a pep talk from the coach and a small reprieve between games, the team came back excited and ready to fight for their win. During the games, they had many miraculous saves and countless perfect hits. They worked as a team and made sure that they made as few mistakes as possible. Their last three games were played gallantly and with great success. The end result was a three-to-one win, a better shot at state, and a very excited team of girls. r' tlT s If ill t r- .-.

The girls needed a win in their next two games to own the title of Region Champs, and with a score of 3-0, 3-0, they clinched it. When asked how she felt after af-ter their win against American Fork, their coach, Coach Roth, responded, "Relieved. I knew we had to win one of our last two, and I'm glad we won the first." I spoke to one of Thursday's goal scorers, McCaye Tobler, who said, "It feels great because be-cause it has been our team's goal this season and it's what we've been focusing on" So mad props for our Lady Red Devils and their impressive impres-sive season.
