Jennings was a power player for theteam and made it difficult for other teams to returnthe ball. were ranked 4th in the state, and the team tasted anupset.The Unraveling:The team came out strong and won the first game15-8. In the second game, they played great early, andwere leading 8-0. Suddenly, the tide started to turn.The Cougars made a remarkable comeback and wonthe second game 15-11 .After the second game win,North had all the momentum. In the third game, thescore reflected the shift with a 15-2 Cougar win toclinch the match.The Thoughts:How would you describe the North match?We were really fired up before the game, andthe first two games were probably the best twogames we had all season.Volleyball is a game inwhich momentum plays a large part, and we hadthe momentum in the first game and early in thesecond. Somehow, something happened and theygot the momentum that we had. We lost it andtripped up a bit (in the second game). In the thirdgame our spirits were down and we got beat,junior Sunny Schaeuble said.53
