Zionsville v.s. Park Tudor

August 19,2014

            On Tuesday, August 19, we had our first match against Park Tudor.  JV had a stellar performance crushing their opponents in 2 sets.  After the game ended varsity started to warm up for their match and were ready for our first win.   In the first set we played almost perfectly with very few errors. The score of the first set was 25-14. We started the second set and Park Tudor started to get back into it. About half way through the second set It started to rain.  We could tell it was a storm because of all of the thunder but we never thought it would have killed the power during our game. Luckily, the power went out during a timeout so no one was hurt but it was very frightening. The scoreboard started to flicker and the buzzer kept going off and on. Soon the buzzer and the score board stopped working and we were in the dark and couldn’t see anything. After a couple of minutes all we could see was phone lights and people checking the weather, but the power stayed off. Eventually the emergency lights came on but the officials didn’t think it was safe enough for us to play without all of the lights, so both teams Peppered to stay warm and not loose focus. We waited for about an hour and at 8:15 the officials called the game off.  The refs said that they had never had to call a game off because of a power outage before and that it was one of the weirdest varsity games they had ever refereed.  We were looking forward to a win but we never got to finish the game, but we will win at home on Monday against North Montgomery at 7; JV at 5:30.
