DAWGS Face Lady Cavaliers Again

Like a heavyweight fight, the Magnolia Lady Bulldogs and the College Park Lady Cavaliers met in the ring, ....errr, court...for the second time this season, and came away with similar results. College Park has been chasing the reigning champion all season and in the previous meeting, the Lady Bulldogs swept the Lady Cavs 3 straight in their gym. Now it's time for a little payback if they can get it with another 'shot at the champ'. In the visitor's corner: a hungry, respectable upper-tiered district contender with firepower of their own. In the home corner: the defending district champion with a 2007 record of 26-7 overall and and undefeated district record of 6-0 (with 18 consecutive set victories and no defeats), and a 21 Home Match win streak intact but on the line .... to boot!

The YO YO BRO'S were in force and ready to give

the Lady Bulldogs a hand if they needed one.

The Lady Cavs walked into a 'one-two' punch from the onset when Michele 'Boom Boom' Williams solo blocked their first attack at 1-0; then sliced a 'Sidewinder' kill shot at 2-1 and a little later with a blast off the defenders' hands at 4 to 2 - to serve notice that this champ was ready to rumble! The DAWGS quickly ran off points as the rotation came around with Hannah Fort (2 block assists and a kill at 8-4) and Kelli Stewart ( block assist and 2 kills) mostly responsible for inflicting the damage that put the Lady Bulldogs in charge at 12-5. Still the DAWGS surged forward outscoring the Cavs 9 to 4 behind a couple of Meagan Little hits at 15-8 and 17-8 along with several generous Cavs' errors; positioning themselves for an early knockout punch attempt at 21-9. All that was needed was a Brittany Wheaton ace serve, a Hannah Fort blast off the defenders' hands and another Williams' Sidewinder "shocker" at 25-10, and ....whamm, iced 'em, ...breakout the smelling salt please!


GREAT JOB LADIES!!!
