It threw us off of ourgame. We didnt have any timeto warm up, freshman SarahGates said.Before every meet the teamdecorated lockers, gave peptalks and had psyche sisters.We all drew one person andyou bought them something,such as candy, for the nextmatch. It got us excited and gotus ready for our meet. It madeour mood happy, senior RachelKinser said.The team practiced beforethe school year began in orderto meet the new girls. As aresult, the team grew close andhung out together.Having practice one monthbefore school started gave us achance to become really closewith each other. I also got achance to meet the new playersthis year, junior RuthieWillsey said.While playing againstMartinsville, who was rankednumber one at the time, thegirls were given the coldshoulder.Usually we [the team] liketo talk to the people that weare playing against, but theMartinsville girls worked theentire round and wouldnt evenconverse with any of us!
