Zionsville vs. HSE sectional
October 23,2014


          It’s that time of the year when all of the fall sports had sectionals and the lady eagles had some tough competition.  They drew Hamilton Southeastern, whom they girls had already beaten in 4 sets. It was safe to say that the girls were confident that we were going to win and continue the season.  The first set started out well with little errors and some tough serving. As the Royals got some kills the Eagles started to lose some of their confidence.  The royals had won the first set but the score was close. The coaches told the girls to get their heads up and go out and play the game we all love and know how to play. The second set started but the Eagles got into their own heads. Serve receive started to go down hill and the Eagles had fell behind by 9 points.  When the Eagles finally got a side out they started to catch up with their aggressive serving, but it wasn’t enough and HSE took the second set. In the third set the Eagles lost all of their confidence and they just stopped playing to their level.  The royals won the set  and the game was over. The Eagles season is over but the ladies will always have the memories and friendships that they made.

Zionsville vs. Guerin
October 7, 2014


On Tuesday the Eagles had senior night against Guerin Catholic. Freshman and JV both won games in 2 sets. They announced all of the seniors and there were tables up above the bleachers with notebooks for fans and teammates to leave notes for each senior. It was an emotional night, but not as emotional as it would have been if it had really been the seniors’ last home game, they still have two more home games after. When all of the introductions were finished the game began. Coach Dawn Jones started all 4 senior except for Maren because she had gotten hurt in their game on Monday.  The girls finished business quick with their serving and playing defense. In the second set Guerin came back strong but not strong enough the Eagles won again, 25-23.  In the third set the Eagles pulled ahead early and Coach Jones took all seniors out to end the game and put all underclassmen in and the Eagles won. All three teams had beaten Guerin and the seniors were very excited that they won their senior night. The Eagles’ final home game will be on October 14th against carmel. We will miss our 5 amazing seniors and wish them luck in college.
